What exactly is Canopy?

Canopy is a visual operational workspace for your systems and workflows. It turns a repo, picked tools, or a template into a living map - with operational metadata, Workspace Intel, and AI-ready exports attached. Canopy AI prompt-to-map generation is coming soon.

Engineers, platform and infra leads, and founders who need one clear, current picture of how their systems fit together - and a clean way to hand that context to AI coding tools.

How do I get my architecture in?

Three ways today: import a repo, pick from 705 tools and workflows, or clone a template. Canopy AI prompt-to-map generation is coming soon. Everything stays editable on the canvas.

Can I export it for AI tools?

Yes. Export CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md so Claude, Codex, and Copilot read your architecture like any other doc - plus PNG and Markdown on every plan. Figma and Notion export are Pro.

Your maps are private by default and scoped to your workspace. Share links are opt-in, and public maps are clearly marked - you stay in control of what's visible.

Is there a free plan?

Yes - Free forever, no credit card. It's enough to map a small system end-to-end with 2 maps and 25 nodes per map, then export it. Upgrade to Pro when you need bigger maps, team invites, and coming-soon Canopy AI.

Your stack quietly grew to dozens of tools. Canopymaps what's in it, what it costs and who owns what: one living picture you and your AI agents can actually read.

Step 1 / 3

The problem: a sprawling stack

Dozens of tools, services and dependencies - and no single picture of how they connect, what they cost, or who owns them.

8starlabs/app

30+ tools. No map.

You can't see how they connect, what they cost, or who owns them.

Map any system or workflow - automatically.

Import a repo, browse 705 tools and workflows, clone a template, paste a canopy.json. Canopy AI prompt-to-map generation is coming soon. Whether it's a tech stack, a marketing pipeline, or an internal automation, Canopy maps the connections, rolls up cost, and exports a CLAUDE.md your agents can read.

The toolkit

Everything your architecture needs.

Start with one clear, readable map of your whole system - then the operational layer on top: live cost and ownership, machine-readable exports your coding agents can read, and a marketplace to share or sell what you build.

See it clearly

Your whole software architecture as one clean, readable diagram - follow any request through the system, or zoom out to cost domains. No manual drawing.
