AIDEN Docs

AIDEN is an AI-native software engineering workspace — everything you need to build software with AI, in one place.

It is built for people who want the speed of AI without giving up the structure of real software development. Instead of reducing software work to a long stream of prompts, AIDEN gives you a system:

  • projects
  • stories and specs
  • a board
  • agents
  • a focused story workspace
  • Git-aware execution
  • and now voice — talk to AIDEN and delegate work out loud

What AIDEN is for

AIDEN is for builders who want to:

  • turn vague work into clear stories
  • plan before implementing
  • execute with AI inside a real workspace
  • run multiple agents without losing control
  • keep specs, context, and Git aligned
  • ship software in a way that still feels disciplined

Installation

Download AIDEN, connect an AI provider, and get set up in a few minutes.

Getting started

Create your first project, plan your first story, and complete your first loop.

Core concepts

The mental model behind projects, stories, specs, agents, and the board.

Features

The main parts of the product and when to use each one — including Talk to AIDEN.

The best way to use AIDEN from idea to shipped work.

The shortest possible explanation

AIDEN works best when you follow this loop:

  1. Capture work inside a project.
  2. Shape it into stories.
  3. Plan the story into a spec.
  4. Execute in the story workspace.
  5. Review against the spec.
  6. Ship and update the board.

That is where the product becomes more than a chat UI.

What makes AIDEN feel different

It starts with structure

AIDEN wants work to live in projects, stories, specs, and statuses.

It keeps execution close to context

The spec, the chat, the terminal, the browser, the notes, and the Git-aware workflow all live in one place.

It treats AI like part of a real engineering system

Agents are useful because they work inside a workflow, not outside of one.

It runs on your machine

AIDEN is local-first: your code, projects, and keys stay on your machine, and agents run through the CLIs and providers you already use.

It stays close to shipping

The point is not to generate impressive output. The point is to finish real software work cleanly.
