What people ask before downloading.
Short answers to the questions teams ask first. For deeper docs, see the integrations and architecture pages linked at the bottom.
Is the beta free?
Yes. The fabriqa.ai beta is free to download and use while we keep improving the product with users.
Is this another editor?
No. fabriqa.ai is a spec-native Agentic Development Environment. Keep your preferred editor and AI coding tools, then coordinate them in one workflow with shared specs, handoffs, reviews, and provider context.
Can it run with local models?
Yes. Local and offline setups are supported, including Ollama-based workflows where your environment allows it.
Which platforms are available?
Desktop builds are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
How is fabriqa.ai different from SpecKit, BMAD-METHOD, Superpower, or specs.md?
Those frameworks are markdown-file based and usually run on top of a coding agent with that agent's default persona, so the workflow can drift. specs.md is a separate open-source specs framework released earlier by the same founder; it is not part of the fabriqa.ai application. The fabriqa.ai app stores specs as managed workspace artifacts and uses deeper integration with AI coding tools so agent work runs against the fabriqa.ai spec and review loop, not a loose markdown file pasted into a chat.
Does fabriqa.ai work across multiple repos?
Yes. A fabriqa.ai workspace is multi-project. When an artifact (intent, story, work item) is broken down, each task targets a specific project. The orchestrator routes implementation work to the right repository while the team keeps one unified view of the spec.
Can different agents handle different roles?
Yes. fabriqa.ai supports multi-agent multi-provider orchestration: planning with one model (e.g., Claude Opus), coding with another (e.g., a cheaper or local model), review with another. Use ACP subscriptions, BYOK keys, and local models in the same workflow.
Are all the spec workflow and orchestration features public today?
Not yet. fabriqa.ai is being built in public, and some of the deeper spec workflow and multi-agent orchestration features are rolling out during Q2 2026.
Today, the free beta is mainly useful for:
- unified threads for AI coding work, so context does not disappear between tools;
- multi-project workspaces for keeping related repos and folders together;
- connecting the AI coding tools and providers your team already uses;
- ACP-compatible agents, BYOK/API model usage, and local/offline model setups where available;
- desktop builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux;
- previewing the direction of spec-native workflows before the full orchestration loop ships.
