Generate all design docs, from the context graph that grows with the engagement
— AI-powered.
Artefae ingests and extracts context from all chat, email and files into a context graph, then generates the auditable artefacts — System Design Documents (SDD), Architecture Decision Records (ADR), Requirements & Scope Documents (RSD), etc.
Why Artefae
Every second spent writing documentation is a second not spent building. Artefae writes from what you already have.
Never write from scratch
Documentation drafts from your actual conversations and decisions, not templates. Every claim is sourced.
Gaps are visible
See missing decisions before the draft goes to the client. Not after handoff, not in production.
Context preserved
All rationale stays intact. Why decisions were made, not just what was decided.
Fully traceable
Every sentence links back to the Slack message, email, or note that justified it.
Works with your tools
Capture from Slack, email, git, ADRs, diagrams. Process once, generate many.
Compliance ready
Audit trail included. Who contributed what, when, and where it ended up.
Built for industry standards
Artefae generates artifacts aligned with industry frameworks and best practices. Choose your role, get compliant documentation.

💡 How It Works
Pick Your Engagement Type
Choose the type of work you're doing. This immediately filters which personas are available for that engagement.
Architecture Review selected
→ Show: FDE, Solutions Architect, Enterprise Architect, CTO
✗ Hide: Penetration Tester, Cyber Responder
Select Your Persona
Each persona generates only artifacts that make sense for your engagement type. Never cross-type pollution.
Enterprise Architect selected
→ Generate: SDD, ADR, Tech Risk Assessment
✗ Hide: Integration Specs, Deployment Runbooks
How it works
Four steps. CLI or web app. From capture to audit trail.
Capture
Point it at notes, Slack, transcripts, or git. Extraction happens automatically—decisions, constraints, systems extracted with full context and confidence scores.

Review
Inspect the extracted knowledge graph. Fill gaps, resolve ambiguities, approve decisions before they become artifacts.

Generate
SDDs, ADRs, RSD grounded only in what you have. Gaps flagged, never guessed.
artefae generate sddGenerate → Select artifact type & persona
Export
Markdown, Word, or straight to git with full audit trail and provenance links.

From conversation to decision
See how a single Slack thread becomes structured knowledge and auditable decisions.
We need to decide on the database strategy. PostgreSQL vs MongoDB?
PostgreSQL for ACID compliance. Finance team has strict audit requirements.
Agreed. We also need redundancy across 2 regions for 99.9% uptime.

“A template tells you what to write. Artefae tells you what’s actually true — and proves it with sources.”
Artefae vs Claude Cowork
Extraction vs. Synthesis
Artefae is purpose-built for professional client deliverables. Claude Cowork is great for ad-hoc exploration. Here's how they differ.
"Artefae is to security/architecture deliverables what GitHub Copilot is to code." It's purpose-built for professional engagement artifacts: automatically captures context, extracts what matters, and generates standards-compliant documents that are reproducible, auditable, and ready for client delivery.
| Dimension | Claude Cowork | Artefae |
|---|---|---|
| Reproducibility | No Different output each time | Yes Identical (deterministic) |
| Hallucination Risk | High Invents details | Zero Extraction-based only |
| Audit Trail | None Not compliant | Full Compliance-ready |
| Setup Time | ~40 minutes manual file organization | 2 minutes automated capture |
| Source Traceability | None — where did this come from? | 100% Every statement sourced |
| Batch Generation | One artifact at a time | 10+ parallel artifacts |
| Standards Compliance | Manual verification required | Automated IEEE 1016, NIST, PTES, etc. |
| Cost per Artifact | $0.19 (synthesis-based) | $0.01 extraction + minimal synthesis |
| Best For | Ad-hoc exploration, internal use | Client deliverables, compliance, scale |

When to Use Claude Cowork
- ✓Ad-hoc exploration
- ✓Internal use only
- ✓One-off projects
- ✓Speed over accuracy
When to Use Artefae
- ✓Client delivery artifacts
- ✓Compliance requirements
- ✓Security/architecture engagements
- ✓Cost-sensitive at scale
- ✓Professional delivery (standards-compliant)
- ✓Batch generation (10+ artifacts)
For internal brainstorming and exploration, Claude Cowork is simpler. For professional client deliverables, compliance, and reproducible outputs, Artefae is 10-100x more capable.
