What you’re paying for

The canvas your AI never forgets.

It remembers the whole project

Your AI reads the entire canvas back at the start of every session — the decisions, the research, the half-formed ideas — so it picks up where you left off instead of starting from a blank chat. The longer you work, the more it knows.

One canvas, both of you on it

You shape notes, docs and decisions on a shared surface; your AI reads and writes them alongside you, live — not buried in a chat scroll you have to copy out of. Two cursors, one source of truth.

The any-kind engine

When a built-in card doesn't fit the moment, your AI invents the right kind on the spot — a SWOT as a grid, a launch plan as stages, a risk table — and it renders cleanly. You're never boxed into a fixed set of templates.

The build export

Turn the whole canvas into something your AI can build from: a brief, a CLAUDE.md and test scaffolds, written straight into your repo. The thinking you did on the canvas becomes the spec in the terminal — no re-typing.

You can see it working

Watch where your AI is reading, what it's thinking, and the card it's about to change. The canvas isn't a dead document you hand off — it's a room you're both standing in.

Your work stays yours

Everything syncs to plain markdown you can take anywhere — Cursor, v0, Bolt, or just your own files. Remove a card by mistake? Restore it for up to 90 days. No lock-in, ever.

Bring the whole team

Create a team and its projects belong to everyone in it — each person working with their own AI on the same canvas. One plan covers the team, per person, adjusting automatically as people join or leave.

We charge for the canvas, not the AI.

Most tools bundle an AI and charge you for usage on top. You’re already paying for yours — so we don’t double-charge. duetpad is the canvas, the memory and the structure; your own AI does the thinking, on your own subscription. One honest price for the surface — no usage meter, no surprise bill at the end of the month.

A few honest questions

Which plan should I pick?

Monthly ($24/mo) to start without commitment. Yearly if you know it's for you — $19/mo billed annually, a 20% saving. Lifetime ($75, while we're in beta) if you want to lock the lowest price for good: one payment, no renewals. Every plan is the same full canvas.

Do I need my own AI?

You'll get the most out of duetpad with your own AI paired — it reads and writes the canvas live. You can still work standalone and copy cards into any AI builder, but the duet is the point, so an AI subscription is recommended.

What happens after the free trial?

You pick how to pay — $24/month, $228/year ($19/mo), or $75 once while we're in beta. Subscriptions cancel whenever, and you keep access to the end of the period you've paid for.

Working as a team?

Create a team and invite people — everyone brings their own AI. The owner pays one plan at the same price per person, adjusting automatically as people join or leave. Your team can view and comment before you pay.

Can I get my work out?

Always. duetpad syncs your project to a folder of clean markdown you can drop into any coding session, or just keep. Your work is yours — there's no lock-in.

Is my work private?

Yes. Your canvas is private by default — nothing's public unless you create a share link, and you can turn that off. Your projects are never used to train any AI model, and the AI you pair runs under your own account.

Start with the whole canvas.

14 days free, no card. Bring the AI you already pay for — and see what it remembers.
