# ManticsCore: AI Product Development Platform

> ManticsCore is an AI-powered product development platform. Research markets, plan features, monitor competitors, and ship code — all from one workspace.

ManticsCore is an AI-powered product development platform built for founders and product teams. From validating a new idea with deep market research to generating GitHub pull requests autonomously, ManticScore compresses weeks of product work into hours.

## What ManticScore does

ManticScore combines several AI pipelines into a single product workspace:

* **Market Research** — Submit a product idea and receive a structured analysis: incumbent competitors, emerging players, key features, signals, and white-space opportunities.
* **Feature Deep Research** — Drill into specific features across multiple competitors with multi-stage AI analysis and build estimates.
* **Build Graphs** — Turn research into a recursive build tree of implementable tasks, each with specs, acceptance criteria, and risk ratings.
* **AgentForge** — Give the AI a coding task and a GitHub repo; it plans, writes code, and opens a pull request autonomously.
* **Competitive Signals** — Monitor companies and topics for real-time signals — press releases, product launches, job postings — with AI-generated insights.
* **AI Chat Agent** — Chat with an agent that has full context of your research and build plans, plus access to 1,000+ integrations via Composio.
* **Integrations** — Ship your build plan directly to Linear, Jira, Slack, Notion, or GitHub with one tap.
* **Automations** — Configure "when research completes → post to Slack" style event-driven automations.

## How the API works

All ManticScore functionality is exposed through a REST API at `https://api.manticscore.com`. Long-running operations (research, build graph generation, Forge runs) are asynchronous — you start a job and then stream progress events via NDJSON or WebSocket.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Authenticate">
    Exchange your Clerk JWT for a session token with `POST /auth/session`. Use the token as a Bearer header on all subsequent requests.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a job">
    Submit a request to start a research job, build graph, or Forge run. You receive a job ID immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Stream progress">
    Connect to the events endpoint (`GET /research/{job_id}/events`) to receive real-time NDJSON progress updates.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use the results">
    Once complete, fetch results directly or export them to your connected tools (Linear, Jira, Slack, Notion).
  </Step>
