Orchids is an AI-powered integrated development environment designed for building full-stack applications. It enables developers to create various types of software including web apps, mobile apps, games, CLI tools, and AI agents using artificial intelligence assistance.

The platform supports building applications with any programming language and framework, including React, Next.js, Python, Swift, and Flutter. Users can leverage their existing AI subscriptions from services like ChatGPT, Claude Code, Gemini, or GitHub Copilot without additional costs. Orchids functions as a complete full-stack coding agent capable of planning projects, debugging code, running commands, and working with various integrations.

Orchids operates through a chat-based interface where developers can communicate their requirements and receive AI-generated code and assistance. The system integrates with multiple AI providers and can work with any API key that users provide, making it flexible across different AI platforms.

The primary benefit is the ability to build complete applications faster using AI assistance while maintaining compatibility with developers' existing tools and subscriptions. It eliminates the need for separate AI coding subscriptions by allowing integration with services developers already use.

The product targets developers and development teams looking to accelerate their workflow through AI assistance. It's particularly useful for Fortune 500 companies and individual developers building across multiple platforms and frameworks, with over one million users currently utilizing the platform.
