BuildShip features

  • AI-generated flows. Describe an idea in natural language and AI creates the flow logic and nodes instantly.
  • Visual flow editor. Drag-and-drop interface with 50+ ready-made nodes for building and testing workflows.
  • Full code access. Export clean modular JavaScript or customize nodes with custom JS and any NPM package.
  • Flexible deployment. Host on BuildShip Cloud, self-host on Vercel, GCP, AWS, Azure or export code.
  • Role-based access control. Granular permissions for admins, editors and viewers.
  • Version control. Two-way GitHub sync with workflow history and reversible changes.
  • Monitoring & alerts. Real-time logs, status page, email/webhook alerts for failed executions.
  • Enterprise security. GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, ISO 27001 compliance and VPC support.

Chiplab by Veecle features

  • Virtual silicon. Runs firmware on a chip-accurate virtual instance with real peripheral behavior.
  • Single MCP call. Agents invoke compile, simulate, test or benchmark with one endpoint.
  • Corpus learning. Each run adds results to a shared corpus searchable by agents.
  • Remote licensed toolchains. Compiles with IAR, ARMCC, HighTec etc. without local installation.
  • Synthetic sensor injection. Feeds generated sensor data (camera, CAN, IMU) into live simulation.
  • Automated test reporting. Provides verdict, trace, coverage and regression info per run.
