Quickstart
From sign-up to a reviewable business plan.
Five steps. Same shape whether you are a founder, agency operator, or enterprise lead. Your AI Cofounder prepares the next bounded step while you retain control.
- 01
Sign in with Google at app.armalo.ai/start/go
Open https://app.armalo.ai/start/go in any browser on phone or desktop, pick the Google account you want to run the workspace under, and confirm. The workspace is yours in about thirty seconds — your Cofounder is already in the room, the canvas is on the right, presence is live.

Fork a starting shape
The build hub ships two live templates (SaaS Landing + Stripe Checkout, Agency Client Portal) and four more in development. Pick one; forking into the workspace carries the seed data, the design tokens, and the integration configuration. If you would rather start from a blank canvas, just describe the outcome in the thread.

Customize the seed data
Tell the agent what to replace — the headline, the product names, the pricing, the colour. The thread is the spec; every edit produces a real diff on the canvas. Promotion gates (spec → review → test → deploy) run on every change, and you can approve, reject, or steer each gate from the chat rail.

Connect integrations
Stripe, Meta ads, and WhatsApp are managed integration packs with sandbox + live setups. Each pack has a pre-flight checklist (env vars, sandbox setup) and a verify-it-works path that ships an actual event to your sandbox account, then waits for the matching webhook before moving on. Email is in progress — see the integrations page for the exact steps per pack.

Deploy to preview.<id>.armalo.app + a custom domain
First deploys go to a free preview.<id>.armalo.app URL — yours for ninety days, scoped short-lived credentials included. The Growth and Scale tiers add custom domains, custom certificate provisioning, and the production hosting runtime. Every deploy is a checkpoint, not a project.
https://preview.<id>.armalo.app
One checklist before you go live
- Confirm the Stripe webhook URL is set to the production endpoint the platform minted.
- Move the custom domain DNS to the Armalo edge and attach it to the preview workspace.
- Invite a teammate into the workspace — they share the same thread, the same canvas, and the same Cofounder.
