# ArchieGuru

> ArchieGuru is an AI-powered platform for practicing software architecture through interactive katas. Users design systems on a visual canvas and receive expert-level AI feedback from Archie, an architecture reviewer that scores designs across quality attributes like scalability, reliability, security, performance, and maintainability.

## Key Features

- **Architectural Katas**: Structured, time-boxed architecture exercises simulating real design constraints. 30+ katas covering URL shorteners, payment gateways, ride sharing, video streaming, chat applications, distributed caches, and more.
- **AI Architecture Reviewer (Archie)**: Provides targeted hints (~5 Arcs), structured reviews (~25 Arcs), scored assessments, and prioritized next steps. Context-aware and technology-specific.
- **Visual System Design Canvas**: Interactive diagramming tool for modeling services, storage, boundaries, and data flow.
- **Quality Attribute Scoring**: Track scalability, reliability, security, performance, and maintainability across designs.
- **Progress Tracking**: Score trends, difficulty progression, and characteristic coverage analysis over time.

## Use Cases

- System design interview preparation
- Software architecture skill development
- Architecture design validation (second opinion before team review)
- Team architecture practice and guild sessions

## Pricing

- Starter: $10 (600 Arcs) — Best for your first kata sessions
- Plus: $19 (1,800 Arcs) — Great for weekly practice and reviews (Recommended)
