Frequently Asked Questions

Priset is a "Glass Box" software orchestration harness that lives inside your IDE. Instead of acting like a black-box AI that blindly guesses at code, Priset acts as an engineering partner. It maps your codebase, exposes transparent Implementation Blueprints, and uses your own provided AI API key (BYOK) to execute precise, incremental changes across your entire project.

Currently, the AI industry is obsessed with which LLM handles chaos the best. Black-box IDEs force models to guess context, drowning them in noise. At Priset, we believe that if you organize the chaos into a transparent, disciplined harness, the AI can focus on pure execution.

We decouple the AI engine from the IDE chassis. We provide the elite orchestration layer (the Harness), and you plug in the brain (the Model) that fits your mission.

We oppose the "Slot Machine" cycle of blindly prompting an IDE and hoping for the best.

• The Assistants (Copilot/Cursor): Act as "Smart Typewriters." They predict the next few lines of code or refactor a single file, relying heavily on the user to stitch the architecture together.
• The Architect (Priset): Acts as "Power Armor." You give it high-level objectives (e.g., "Migrate this legacy WCF service to .NET 9"). Priset plans the architecture and exposes the blueprint before execution. You remain the Pilot; Priset is the Vanguard executing the labor.

The difference is philosophy: Power Armor vs. The Android.

• Devin (The Android): works as a "Black Box" remote worker. You send it a task, it goes away to work in its own sandbox, and returns with a result. This creates IP liabilities and makes steering the AI difficult.
• Priset (Power Armor): works as a "Glass Box" inside your IDE. You see every decision it makes in real-time, you can intercept its logic via the blueprints, and you maintain absolute control over the codebase.

Priset is for developers that successfully navigate and operate in the age of AI. From the solo developer acting as a Local CTO that builds custom enterprise software over a weekend in the "Bespoke Economy," to large Enterprise teams needing to safely modernize legacy systems without risking their IP. It scales your velocity by 100x without removing you from the driver's seat.

Yes. We operate with a strict Zero-Retention security model. Because Priset is decoupled from the AI engine, we never store your source code or train on it.

Code snippets are securely transmitted directly from your machine to the AI provider of your choice via your own API key. Our "Glass Box" architecture guarantees Priset only reads what is strictly necessary to route context.

You choose. Priset operates on a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model. You can plug in:

• Anthropic Claude: For unmatched raw coding capabilities and market-leading logic.
• Google Gemini: The Enterprise Vault. Mandatory for strict zero-retention IP security and rapid speed.
• OpenAI ChatGPT: The industry standard for versatility and general knowledge.

For absolute IP protection, we strongly advise Enterprise and Government clients to plug Google Gemini into the Priset harness. Black-box web interfaces are massive IP liabilities. By routing your proprietary business logic exclusively through Gemini's API via Priset, you leverage Google’s strict B2B Data Governance terms, which legally guarantee your data is not stored long-term or used for model training.

Before Priset modifies your codebase, it maps the constraints and generates an Implementation Blueprint (i.e. if you use the "Architect Mode"). This is a transparent, readable plan showing exactly which files will be created, modified, or deleted, and the logic behind it. As the human Architect, you review, select (i.e. out of a few that are suggested) and approve the Blueprint before the AI engine executes the heavy lifting.

Because Priset relies on Implementation Blueprints rather than blind "vibe coding", the generated code is far more deterministic and reliable. Furthermore, Priset's Vanguard Sub-Agents can automatically generate comprehensive unit and integration test suites alongside your code, giving you near-100% test coverage out of the gate.

We are fully IDE agnostic. We currently support Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code (VS Code), and the JetBrains suite (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.).

Priset supports all major modern languages, including Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go, C#, Rust, and legacy frameworks (like WCF). It is highly effective in complex, polyglot environments.

Because the engine is yours and the harness is ours, our pricing is completely decoupled from token markups.

• The SaaS Fee: You pay a flat, low subscription fee to Priset (e.g., $7/mo Pro or $10/mo/user Team) for access to our elite orchestration extension and continuous updates.
• The AI Costs: You pay your chosen AI provider (Google, Anthropic, or OpenAI) directly based on your own API usage. We do not mark up token costs.

Yes! The Junior Dev is dead; the Local CTO is here.

We want to empower the next generation of Student Founders to build bespoke, enterprise-grade software. We offer a deeply discounted $10/year Student Plan for the Priset Harness. Simply plug in your own API key, and you have access to the exact same powerful architecture tools used by enterprise development teams.

Yes, you can cancel your paid Priset SaaS subscription at any time through your account dashboard. You will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. (Note: You are independently responsible for managing the billing of your third-party API keys with Google, Anthropic, or OpenAI).
