Hey all,

I'm a founder of ArchieGuru - interactive platform for system design evaluation, which can be used for interview prep or usual day-to-day brainstorming sessions. It's powered by Archie - a helpful AI assistant tailored to the system design domain, with full diagram context and extensive knowledge about quality attributes and software architecture. It operates mostly within C1 and C2 layers of C4 model. I was heavily inspired by books authored by Mark Richards and Neal Ford and spent a lot of time trying to get the most out of LLMs, so they could become a truly useful tool for software architecture.

Just wanted to share with you the case study of designing a URL Shortener - a very popular challenge seen on many system design interviews. I believe it's an interesting case of how Archie can support people by providing iterative feedback, ultimately leading to a much more thorough design beyond a first naive version.

Hope you'll find this useful and feel free to ask me anything about Archie!
