Decigen AI Agent Design Studio
The design record for systems that act.
Design Studio is a structured workspace for designing, reviewing and evolving AI agent systems. It starts as a one-page blueprint, grows into the record of every decision, constraint and piece of evidence behind the architecture, and stays with the system as it changes.

What the blueprint answers
Five questions. Sixteen sections. One record.
The sections are ordered the way a review runs: you cannot answer how a system is kept safe before you know which actions it takes.
- 01What is the problem?
- Baseline, requirements, and whether an agent is needed. Then the mode, environment and a starting and target autonomy level for each class of action.
- 02How is it built?
- Components and planes, the harness and loop with its budgets and stop conditions, context and memory with provenance, and every tool classified as read, write or irreversible.
- 03How is it kept safe?
- Identity, scopes and enforcement points. Credible hostile inputs and blast radius. Idempotency, latency and cost. Who approves, who escalates, and who can stop it.
- 04How is it proved and run?
- Evaluation suites and release gates. Three to five plausible incidents replayed on paper. Ownership, promotion and demotion rules, and retirement.
- 05What was decided, and why?
- Ten architectural choices with rejected alternatives and the finding that would flip each one. A version an architect can present in a 45-minute review.
Why a record, not a diagram
Agent systems change. Their reasons get lost.
Six months in, the question is never "what does the system do" but "why was it allowed to". Design Studio keeps that answer attached to the system: the alternative that was rejected, the evidence that justified the autonomy level, and the condition that would send it back a step.
In the current release
- Sixteen sections, one method
The same structure every system follows, from a support assistant to an autonomous back-office agent.
- Autonomy as an explicit decision
Workflow, assistant or agent. A0 to A4 per action class, with what earns the next level written down.
- A blueprint you can hand over
Export the record for engineering, review and audit. The design outlives the slide deck.
Planned
- Generated engineering artifacts
System manifests, decision records and evaluation plans derived from the blueprint.
- Design review with evidence
Comments, approvals, change history, and links from each claim to the trace or test that supports it.
Design Studio is in early access. Features listed as planned are on the roadmap and not yet available.
