Building Applications with AI in Mindbricks

Scope

Mindbricks is an AI-powered collaborative backend design platform that transforms natural language requirements into production-ready microservice architectures.

This document explains how applications are designed using Mindbricks’ AI-assisted workflow, from initial idea to fully specified backend architecture. It focuses on:

  • How the AI agents collaborate
  • How requirements evolve into architecture
  • How users guide and refine the design process
  • How manual customization fits into the AI workflow

Building an Application in Mindbricks.


AI-Assisted + Manual Design (Hybrid Model)

Mindbricks follows a hybrid design model:
AI automation for speed and consistency, combined with full manual control for precision.

After the AI completes its initial analysis and architecture design, you can:

  • Review and validate all generated specifications
  • Edit or refine data models, APIs, business rules, and configurations
  • Add new elements such as services, routes, or integrations
  • Remove or simplify parts that do not match your needs
  • Adjust business logic as requirements evolve

This ensures:

  • Rapid initial design using proven best practices
  • No architectural lock-in
  • Complete ownership and control over the final system

The AI acts as an accelerator and guide, not a restriction.


Understanding the AI-Driven Architecture Process

Mindbricks’ AI design workflow follows a structured, incremental pipeline.
Each stage builds on the output of the previous one, ensuring clarity, traceability, and architectural consistency.

Instead of asking all questions upfront, the AI progressively refines the design by:

  • Clarifying business intent
  • Defining system behavior
  • Translating behavior into technical architecture

This approach avoids over-engineering while ensuring nothing critical is missed.


The AI Agent Team

Mindbricks uses three specialized AI agents, each responsible for a distinct design layer:

  • Product Manager Agent
    Gathers and clarifies business requirements, project scope, and high-level goals.
    Produces the project description and user stories.

  • Business Analyst Agent
    Transforms user stories into structured use cases and system workflows.
    Defines how users and systems interact.

  • Software Architect Agent
    Converts requirements and use cases into a complete backend architecture using the Mindbricks Pattern Ontology.
    Designs microservices, data models, APIs, integrations, and system boundaries.

Each agent focuses on what it does best, while passing structured output to the next stage.


Process Flow Overview

Project Creation → Product Manager → Business Analyst → Software Architect → Generated Architecture


Phase 1: Product Manager Agent - Requirements Discovery

When you create a new project and choose the AI-assisted approach, the Product Manager Agent immediately engages to understand your application requirements in depth.

Initial Project Setup

You begin by providing basic project information:

  • Project Name: A clear, descriptive name for your application

  • Project Description: An initial overview of what you want to build

Incremental Requirements Gathering

The Product Manager Agent uses your initial description as a starting point and begins an incremental questioning process to gather comprehensive requirements. The questions adapt based on your responses, creating a natural conversation flow.

Strategic Way to Talk With the Mindbricks AI Architect

This section explains how to communicate effectively with the Mindbricks AI Architect during the requirements discovery phase to achieve the best possible system design.

Mindbricks’ AI is optimized for intent-driven architecture, not command-based prompting.
You are not expected to describe technical implementation details.


The Golden Rule

Describe what you want to build, not how to build it.

Mindbricks automatically determines:

  • Microservice boundaries
  • Databases and data models
  • Messaging and events
  • Security and permissions
  • Integrations and scaling patterns

Your role is to explain business intent, constraints, and outcomes.


The 3-Layer Conversation Strategy

Every successful interaction with the Mindbricks AI naturally follows three conceptual layers.
You do not need to name them explicitly — understanding them is enough.


1️⃣ Intent Layer — What Is This System?

Start by describing the type of product you are building.

Examples:

  • “An e-commerce marketplace like eBay”
  • “A multi-tenant SaaS platform”
  • “An auction-based exchange”
  • “A ticketing system for events”
  • “A B2C platform with user accounts and payments”

This immediately tells the AI:

  • Which industry patterns to activate
  • Which default services to include
  • Which security and compliance rules apply

A single sentence is sufficient.


2️⃣ Constraint Layer — What Must Be True?

Next, describe non-negotiable business rules.

Examples:

  • “Each store must be isolated”
  • “Buyers must log in to purchase”
  • “Stripe only”
  • “No organizations, single scope”
  • “Auctions last exactly 5 hours”
  • “One role per user”

This helps the AI:

  • Enforce permissions correctly
  • Apply multi-tenancy where needed
  • Shape data models and workflows
  • Avoid invalid assumptions

You do not need to explain how these rules are implemented — only that they must exist.


3️⃣ Delegation Layer — Let the AI Decide

At any point, you can delegate decisions back to the AI.

Common delegation phrases:

  • “Use best practices”
  • “Finalize as you see fit”
  • “Standard setup”
  • “Like eBay”
  • “Proceed”

This signals the AI to:

  • Stop exploratory questioning
  • Lock assumptions
  • Apply platform defaults
  • Move forward with architecture design

Delegation is intentional and encouraged, not a shortcut.


How to Answer AI Questions Correctly

The AI asks questions to remove ambiguity, not to test technical knowledge.

Best practices when responding:

  • Short answers are acceptable
  • Imperfect answers are acceptable
  • Business language is preferred
  • You can revise decisions later

Examples of excellent responses:

  • “Marketplace”
  • “Yes, multi-tenant”
  • “No isolation”
  • “Stripe is enough”
  • “Email + SMS”
  • “Admins manage everything”

The AI fills in the technical gaps safely.


When You Don’t Know the Answer

If you are unsure, state it clearly.

Good responses:

  • “I’m not sure — use best practices”
  • “Decide based on standard platforms”
  • “Whatever scales better”
  • “Default behavior is fine”

The AI is designed to handle uncertainty without introducing risk.


The Summary Checkpoint (Very Important)

Before generating architecture, the AI will always present a project summary, for example:

“Here’s the project summary. Does this reflect your requirements?”

This is the most important checkpoint in the conversation.

At this stage:

  • Confirm business correctness
  • Ignore technical details
  • Adjust rules, not implementation

If the summary looks correct, respond with “Proceed”.


How to Steer Without Micromanaging

You can guide architecture using comparisons, not instructions.

Examples:

  • “Like eBay”
  • “Like Airbnb”
  • “Like Shopify but multi-tenant”
  • “Like Eventbrite with auctions”

These references activate known architectural patterns inside Mindbricks.


What Not to Do

Avoid:

  • Naming infrastructure components
  • Designing microservices manually
  • Requesting specific technologies

Examples to avoid:

  • “Use Kafka”
  • “Add Redis”
  • “Split into 5 services”
  • “Use CQRS”

These reduce the effectiveness of the AI.


Mental Model to Keep

Think of the AI as:

A senior backend architect who already knows best practices
and only needs your business intent.

You explain:

  • What the system does
  • Who uses it
  • What rules apply

Mindbricks decides:

  • Architecture
  • Services
  • Databases
  • Messaging
  • Integrations
  • Scalability

Final Advice

If you remember only one thing:

Speak like a founder or product owner — not like an engineer.

That is how Mindbricks delivers the best results.

Example Question Sequences

Initial Assessment:

"I see you want to build a 'book selling platform'. Let me understand this better:

  1. Who are the main users of this platform? (Publishers, readers, administrators?)

  2. Will this be a marketplace where multiple publishers can sell books, or a single publisher's storefront?

  3. What types of books will be sold? (Physical books, e-books, audiobooks?)"

Business Logic Deep-dive:

"Based on your answers, I understand this is a multi-publisher marketplace. Now let's explore the business logic:

  1. How should the pricing work? Do publishers set their own prices?

  2. Will there be any commission or revenue sharing model?

  3. Do you need inventory management for physical books?

  4. What payment methods should be supported?"

Domain-Specific Questions:

"For the book domain specifically:

  1. How important is book categorization and search functionality?

  2. Do you need user reviews and ratings?

  3. Should there be author information and profiles?

  4. Will you support pre-orders for upcoming releases?"

Adaptive Questioning Strategy

The Product Manager Agent employs several questioning strategies:

  • Context-Aware Follow-ups: Questions build on previous answers

  • Domain Expertise: Asks industry-specific questions based on your application type

  • Completeness Checking: Ensures all major functional areas are covered

  • Clarification Requests: Seeks clarity on ambiguous or incomplete responses

Requirements Validation and Scope Definition

Once the Product Manager Agent has gathered sufficient information, it:

  • Generates a Comprehensive Project Description: Expands your initial description into a detailed project overview

  • Defines Project Scope: Clearly outlines what is included and excluded from the initial release

  • Creates User Stories: Develops detailed user stories based on the requirements gathered

Example Output: Project Description

Project: BookMarket Pro

Updated Description: A comprehensive multi-publisher book marketplace platform enabling publishers to list and sell both physical and digital books. The platform supports publisher registration and verification, comprehensive book catalog management with advanced search and categorization, secure payment processing with commission handling, and customer review systems.
