Build Cloud Architecture in 10 Seconds Using Natural Language

What if you could build learning-ready cloud architecture just by describing what you want in plain English?

That's exactly what we built with Canvas Cloud AI's "Learn by Describe" feature.

The Magic of Natural Language

Instead of clicking through 50 AWS console screens, you simply type:

"I need a scalable web application with load balancer, two servers, and a database"
And boom - a complete architecture appears on your canvas in seconds.

Real Examples That Work Today

🛍️ E-commerce Platform

You type: "Create an e-commerce site with product images on CDN and order database"

You get:

Load Balancer to distribute traffic
Compute instances for web servers
Database for orders and products
Storage for product images
CDN for fast image delivery
Security Groups protecting each layer
Private Subnet for database security
📱 Web Application

You type: "Build a scalable web app with database and static assets"

You get:

Load Balancer for high availability
Multiple Compute instances
Database for application data
Storage for uploads and assets
CDN for global performance
Security Groups with HTTPS only
Public/Private Subnet architecture
🏢 Corporate Website

You type: "Corporate site with fast loading and secure backend"

You get:

Compute instance for web server
Database for content management
Storage for media files
CDN for worldwide performance
Load Balancer for reliability
Security Groups for protection
Network isolation with Subnets
How It Actually Works

AI Understanding: Natural language processing interprets your requirements
Architecture Mapping: Matches to cloud best practices
Visual Generation: Creates drag-and-drop components
Smart Connections: Auto-wires services correctly
Instant Validation: Checks for security and scalability
Under the hood: We use GPT-4.1 for understanding intent, but the real magic is our architecture mapping engine that ensures best practices.

Why This Changes Everything

Before: Spend days researching which AWS services to use

Now: Describe your app and start building immediately

Before: Wonder if your architecture follows best practices

Now: AI ensures proper patterns and connections

Before: Manually create Terraform/CloudFormation

Now: One-click infrastructure as code generation

Current Limitations

Supports 7 core components: Compute, Load Balancer, Database, Storage, CDN, Security Group, Subnet
These 7 components cover 90% of use cases
Works with AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud
English language only (for now)
