Kyb Documentation
Kyb is an AI-powered enterprise architecture platform that infers your organisational architecture from evidence, not manual modelling. Connect your cloud, link code repositories, define custom metamodels, validate architectural rules, and let Kyb maintain a living, governed architecture graph.
Getting Started & Modeling
Quickstart Guide
Create your account, set up your project, and build your first graph in minutes.
Core Concepts & Layers
ArchiMate layers (Motivation, Strategy, Business, Application, Technology), confidence, and provenance.
Graph Explorer
Canvas interactions, layout algorithms, manual pinning, global search, and similar entity detection.
Visual Nesting & Containers
Compound nodes, aggregation/composition containment logic, and ancestor breadcrumb navigation.
Views & Dashboards
Curated static and dynamic views, full-screen dashboard presentations, and view persistence.
Architecture Scenarios
Model alternative design options (Option A vs B) and what-if changes using RDF-star annotations.
Discovery & Intelligence
GCP Cloud Discovery
Auto-scan 40+ GCP services, apply smart filters, and review AI architecture abstractions.
GitHub Codebase Sync
Connect your GitHub App to ingest repositories, teams, org members, and CI/CD workflows.
AI Assistant & Analyst
Conversational modeling, gap analysis, automated entity classification, and contextual chat.
Query Studio & SPARQL
Visual query builder, interactive charts, table visualizers, saved queries, and SPARQL queries.
Governance, Metamodel & Administration
Architecture Validation
Audit models against SHACL constraints and ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English rules.
Custom Metamodel & Shapes
Define custom classes, typed properties, relationship predicates, and SHACL constraint shapes.
Project Backups & Bundles
Point-in-time snapshots, safe rollbacks, and portable native .kyb.zip export/import bundles.
Audit Logging & History
Track model changes, security events, user modifications, and export audit trails to CSV/JSON.
Plans & Billing
Product tiers (Free, Pro, Business, Enterprise), token allowances, and downgrade protections.
API Keys & BYOK
Configure your own Anthropic, Google Gemini, or OpenAI API key for unlimited AI processing.
New to enterprise architecture?
Kyb builds on the Open Group ArchiMate 3.2 standard as its underlying semantic foundation. You don't need to know formal ArchiMate notation to use Kyb — AI abstraction handles classification automatically — but understanding layers and relationships helps you get the most out of the graph. Start with Core Concepts for a guided introduction.
