Cerebrum Copilot

​
What is Cerebrum?

Cerebrum is Ardor’s built-in AI copilot that guides you through the entire development lifecycle. Whether you’re a vibe coder with an idea or an experienced developer looking to accelerate delivery, Cerebrum adapts to your needs.
To open Cerebrum, click on the “Copilot” button in the Canvas toolbar.

Key Capabilities

Model Selection

Choose from Gemini 3 Pro, GPT-5.1, Claude Opus 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and Grok 4.1

Context Summarization

Smart context management for long development sessions

​
Spec-Driven Development

Cerebrum follows a structured approach to building your applications:
  1. Understanding Requirements - When you describe your idea, Cerebrum asks clarifying questions to fully understand what you need
  2. PRD Generation - Creates a Product Requirements Document based on your answers
  3. Test Cases - Generates test cases from the PRD to ensure quality
  4. Implementation - Builds your solution following TDD (Test-Driven Development) best practices

​
Build Any Application

Cerebrum can help you create:
  • Agentic Applications - AI-powered apps with LLM orchestration
  • Web Applications - Frontend and backend services
  • APIs and Services - RESTful APIs, microservices
  • Data Pipelines - ETL processes, ML training pipelines
  • Databases - Set up and configure PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and more

​
Microservices Architecture

Each element Cerebrum creates is a proper microservice:
  • Stateful or Stateless - Choose the right type for each service
  • Any Language - Python, JavaScript, Go, or any language you prefer
  • Any Container - Use public Docker images or let Cerebrum create Dockerfiles
  • Connected Services - Cerebrum automatically configures environment variables and connections between services

​
Code Sources

Cerebrum can work with code from multiple sources:
  • Write on Platform - Create and edit code directly in Ardor
  • GitHub Integration - Pull code from your repositories
  • Docker Images - Use any public Docker image

​
Working with Cerebrum

​
Starting a New Project

  1. Open the Canvas and click the “Copilot” button
  2. Describe what you want to build in natural language
  3. Answer Cerebrum’s clarifying questions
  4. Review the generated PRD and test cases
  5. Let Cerebrum build and deploy your solution

​
Example Prompts

Agentic App

“Build a customer support chatbot that can answer questions about our product documentation”

Web App

“Create a todo app with user authentication and a PostgreSQL database”

API Service

“Build a REST API for managing inventory with CRUD operations”

Data Pipeline

“Set up a pipeline that fetches data from an API and stores it in a database”

​
Iterating on Your Solution

Cerebrum maintains context throughout your session:
  • Ask for changes to existing services
  • Add new features or services
  • Fix bugs by describing the issue
  • Refactor code for better performance

​
Multi-Environment Support

Cerebrum can create and manage multiple environments:
  • Development - For building and testing
  • Staging - For pre-production validation
  • Production - For live deployments
When debugging issues, Cerebrum can:
  1. Create a new environment to test fixes
  2. Apply changes without affecting production
  3. Promote working solutions to production

​
Monitoring and Operations

Cerebrum has access to your solution’s operational data:
  • Logs - View and analyze service logs
  • Metrics - Monitor CPU, RAM, storage, and requests
  • Debugging - Analyze errors and suggest fixes
  • Auto-repair - Automatically fix issues and redeploy
Cerebrum can look at logs, understand the problem, create a fix, deploy to a test environment, verify the fix works, and then apply it to production - all automatically.

​
Best Practices

The more details you provide, the better Cerebrum can understand your requirements. Include information about expected users, data formats, and integration needs.
Before Cerebrum starts building, review the generated PRD to ensure it matches your expectations. You can ask for changes at this stage.
Take advantage of multiple environments to safely test changes before deploying to production.
Don’t try to describe everything at once. Start with core functionality and iterate with Cerebrum to add features.
