Research the web. Approve the plan. Build and ship. Ship React code you own.
One connected workflow
From uncertain idea to shipped app.
Squid Agent brings research, decisions, code, quality, recovery, and deployment into one inspectable workflow. You approve the consequential choices and own every artifact it produces.
01 / Research + approve
Turn a rough idea into a clear plan.
Start with a prompt, screenshot, or URL. We gather source-backed context and ask only the decisions that affect the build.
Source-backed research you can inspect
Decision checkpoints, not endless questions
You approve the build plan
02 / Build + iterate
Generate real code, then refine quickly.
Create a production-style React project with live preview and file-level context, then make focused follow-up edits by chat or element selection.
React + TypeScript code generation
Live preview and file tree in one place
Precise edits without full rewrites
03 / Verify + recover
Validate continuously, with confidence to recover.
Run checks across files and preview, then get clear status. If needed, automatic recoverable repair fixes issues while preserving your previous state.
Static, accessibility, API, and runtime checks
Automatic repair attempts for recoverable issues
Version checkpoints with selective restore
04 / Connect + ship
Ship confidently with full ownership.
Hook up supported services behind safe boundaries, then publish, deploy, or export a verified bundle you can run anywhere.
Safe API setup + health checks
GitHub publish and Vercel deploy paths
Portable source bundle with docs
Visible by default
See the evidence.
Inspect research sources, approved decisions, changed files, quality results, version diffs, and the receipt for each saved generation.
Predictable spend
Know the cost.
See the expected credit range before a run and the actual charge afterward. Failed initial generations are not charged, and preview repairs are free.
Safe rollback + export
Verify before shipping.
Restore checkpoints without losing unrelated work, then export a package with manifest, quality report, and deployment guidance before continuing.
Open the finished pages to experience the hero, motion, and responsive layout in full. Each one is a working example of how a visual idea becomes a real React landing page.
Choose the workflow that stays clear when a build fails, costs more than expected, or needs to leave the platform.

No. Squid Agent is a separate brand and workflow. Squid Agent is optimized for exportable React applications with explicit checkpoints, usage visibility, and quality verification.
Squid Agent is an AI app builder that takes a project from research and planning through generation, iteration, verification, and shipping. It keeps the sources, decisions, React code, quality results, versions, integrations, and credit use visible throughout the process.
Squid Agent is built for founders, builders, designers, and product teams who want to prototype full React apps quickly while keeping the generated code inspectable, editable, and portable.
Yes. Squid Agent can search the live web for current documentation, API references, package guidance, recommendations, and time-sensitive facts. You can see when research is happening and inspect the supporting sources instead of relying on hidden or stale model knowledge.
Plan mode asks a compact set of consequential questions, turns your answers into a structured product specification, and presents the plan for review. You can revise it, resolve open decisions, and explicitly approve it before code generation starts.
Yes. Continue in chat to make source-aware changes, or select an element in the live preview and describe the exact edit. Squid Agent works from the current project files so a focused change does not have to replace the entire application.
Squid Agent checks files, imports, exports, dependencies, accessibility basics, API safety, and the running preview. It shows what passed, what still needs review, and what was not tested. Recoverable preview problems can be repaired automatically without charging for the repair run.
Yes. Code-bearing responses become visible checkpoints with summaries and exact diffs. Restore a complete version or recover selected files only, so you can undo one direction without overwriting unrelated work you want to keep.
Choose APIs before a build, then connect supported services with project-scoped credentials, separate development and production settings, and health checks. Public browser-safe APIs can work directly; services that require secrets stay behind an explicit server and setup boundary rather than being presented as falsely complete.
Yes. Publish verified code to a GitHub repository, deploy a Vercel preview or production build, share and remix a public project, or download a verified project bundle with React source, configuration, setup instructions, and quality reports. Your code remains portable outside Squid Agent.
Squid Agent shows the model and expected credit range before generation, then records the actual charge after successful work is saved. Failed initial generations are not charged, preview repairs are free, and receipts make charges and refunds visible.
Yes. You can export a complete project bundle or continue in your own repository with the generated source, dependency list, deployment instructions, and quality context. The handoff is intentionally designed for local or external workflows.
