v1.0.0 is now live

System design for the
modern engineer.

Nautilus is the open-source, AI-powered workspace where architecture meets intelligence. Visualize, plan, and document complex systems at the speed of thought.

Built for clarity in a complex world.

Modern software architecture is complex. Microservices, event-driven patterns, and cloud-native infrastructure make it harder than ever to keep a mental model of your system.

We built Nautilus to solve this. It's not just a drawing tool—it's a thinking tool. With AI assistance, smart templates, and a semantic understanding of your components, Nautilus helps you communicate your technical vision clearly.

From Prompt to Diagram

Describe your system in plain English, and watch Nautilus generate a complete, editable architecture diagram instantly.
