The AI workspace
for backend teams.
Build backend systems with AI that knows your workspace. Start with intent or a live issue, run guided AI actions in the shipped free scope, and validate safely with context-aware fix and impact guidance directly inside VS Code.

Built by RapidKit
Built around one safe backend loop
Workspai focuses on Detect → Diagnose → Plan → Verify → Learn. New capabilities are shipped only when they improve uncertainty reduction, verification clarity, or repeatable team learning.
Workspace platform
Free · No AI requiredWorkspace Explorer
Dedicated sidebar tree showing every workspace, project, and RapidKit module. Expand, right-click, or run quick actions without leaving VS Code.
Workspaces · Projects · Modules
Project Scaffolding
One command creates a guided starter project for supported backend stacks. Pick FastAPI, NestJS, Go/Fiber, Go/Gin, or Spring Boot and Workspai generates the core directory structure, config, and entry point for you to review.
FastAPI · NestJS · Go/Fiber · Go/Gin · Spring Boot
Module System
Browse 27 free RapidKit modules for FastAPI and NestJS, install with a click, and manage per-project dependencies. Each module ships with migrations, schemas, and usage docs.

Health Doctor
Automated workspace and project health checks on demand. Detects missing env variables, broken dependencies, misconfigured kits, and port conflicts.
ENV · Deps · Ports · Kit config
Dev Server Control
Start, stop, and restart backend dev servers from the VS Code sidebar without switching to a terminal. Works with all supported frameworks.
One-click run · Live status · Logs

Describe your product in plain language. Workspai plans the workspace, proposes the kit and modules, and scaffolds on confirmation.
"Build a SaaS billing API with auth, Stripe, and Postgres"
Project Assistant
Context-aware Q&A grounded in your actual project files, modules, and architecture. Answers that fit your specific codebase.
"What breaks if I change this settings model?"
Workspace Brain
AI inline on every item in the workspace explorer — workspaces, projects, and modules. Ask, explain, or navigate without leaving the sidebar, while keeping execution user-controlled.
"Explain the auth module in this project"
@workspai in Chat
Native VS Code Chat participant. /ask for architecture questions, /debug for a structured Root Cause → Fix → Prevention response using live diagnostics.
"@workspai /debug Why does this endpoint return 500?"
AI Debug Actions
Editor lightbulb powered by Workspai AI. Appears on files with errors — select broken code and get a targeted fix with full project context.
"Why does this endpoint return 422 Unprocessable Entity?"
Doctor Fix with AI
Each Doctor health item surfaces a context-rich AI debug flow — not a generic error message, but a scoped fix path for the exact problem detected.
"Fix missing environment variable in billing-platform"
Fix Preview Lite
Request a smallest-safe fix preview before any code changes. Returns root cause, candidate file edits, and patch-style guidance without auto-apply.
"Preview the safest fix for this 500 error"
Change Impact Lite
Analyze what could break before making a change. Get likely impacted files/modules, risk level, and required test targets for safer refactors.

Terminal → AI Bridge
Send terminal output, stack traces, or failing test logs to Workspai AI and get structured root-cause + fix guidance grounded in your project.
"Analyze this pytest failure and suggest the fastest safe fix"
Workspace Memory
Write team conventions once in .rapidkit/workspace-memory.json — stack decisions, naming rules, module boundaries. Injected into every AI prompt automatically.
"Always use async SQLAlchemy and avoid sync session in routes"
Memory Wizard
Guided setup for workspace memory. Capture project overview, conventions, and architecture decisions with step-by-step prompts.
"Set API naming conventions and architecture decisions"
AI Recipe Packs
Reusable AI workflows for fast root-cause analysis, endpoint planning, safe refactors, test-gap checks, and ship-readiness reviews.
"Run ship-readiness recipe for this workspace"
Module Advisor
AI scoped to each RapidKit module — install guidance, usage patterns, and config tips. Suggests the right modules during project creation.

Telemetry Insights
Inspect AI usage with 24h/7d/all windows, top commands, and onboarding experiment stats so product decisions stay evidence-based.

Coming soon
Module Generator
Add feature slices to any existing project. Routes, services, schemas, migrations, and tests — all in one step with a preview diff.
"Add OTP login with Redis rate limiting and tests"
AI Debugger (Advanced)
Paste logs, traces, or test failures. Workspai analyzes root-cause patterns and proposes a concrete fix path in context.
"Why is this endpoint returning 500 in staging?"
Test Generator
Generate unit and integration tests for existing code, covering happy paths, edge cases, and missing surfaces.
"Generate tests for the booking cancellation endpoint"
DevOps Assistant
Generate Docker configs, CI pipelines, env validation, and deploy checklists from your actual project structure.
"Generate a deploy-ready Compose starter for this API"
Architecture Advisor
Architecture guidance grounded in your workspace — caching, queue systems, modularisation, and scale tradeoffs.
"How should I scale this service for 10x traffic?"
Team AI Memory
Shared workspace conventions, code style, and architecture decisions remembered by Workspai across your whole team.
"Enforce our naming conventions across all new modules"
How it works
From detection to learning
in five phases
Workspai runs a structured incident loop — not a chat box. Each phase has a clear job and a clear exit condition before moving forward.
Surface the problem or intent
Workspai reads your workspace — framework, modules, doctor evidence, git diff, and memory — so every analysis starts from real context, not guesswork.
Root-cause the issue with evidence
Incident Studio analyzes the detected signals and returns a scoped diagnosis — probable root cause, affected files, and confidence level. No generic guesses.
One safe next action
Workspai proposes the smallest correct next step — not a list of options, but one scoped action with explicit impact context and a preview before any change.
Recommended action
Add STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET to .env.staging
Prove the fix worked
Every shipped guided action that touches code or config has an explicit verify path. Run the suggested check and Workspai confirms whether the issue is resolved or escalates.
Retain what worked
Resolved incidents and architectural decisions are written to Workspace Memory — so repeated issues are handled faster and the team's conventions are never forgotten.
.rapidkit/workspace-memory.json
Execution discipline
Readiness before promises
Workspai follows a strict claim policy: do not market a capability as stable or retention-driving until it passes flow-level evidence, KPI thresholds, and release-stop gates.
Non-negotiable principle
Workspai must reduce backend uncertainty, not generate more of it.
Wave 2 release gate
- ✓Capability lives inside the core product loop (not a disconnected surface).
- ✓Affected scope is inspectable before risky execution.
- ✓High-risk actions expose verify path and safe recovery path.
- ✓Claim text in docs/UI matches real shipped behavior and supported scope.

Roadmap
Wave 2 is executed as vertical slices, not feature count. We prioritize predictive debugging, architecture-aware reasoning, and sandbox proof before broadening surfaces.
MVP
Shipped baseline — core loop in production
Incident loop baseline
Detect -> Diagnose -> Plan -> Verify workflow is available in the current extension baseline.
Workspace + module platform
Explorer, scaffolding, module advisor, and health doctor are available in the free baseline.
Telemetry and release-gate foundations
Flow telemetry, KPI snapshots, and release-stop automation are active for shipped slices.
Contract hardening baseline
Key payload contracts and flow-level checks are already enforced in current release gates.
