You — Project Architect
Define the destination, establish priorities, make important decisions, and approve the work.
Become the architect of your Codex project
You set the direction. Codex does the development.
Like any senior manager, you do not need to perform every specialist’s work yourself. You are responsible for knowing what should be delivered, setting clear goals, and making sure the work meets them. Vibe coding with Codex is no different. Project Deputy helps you make the important decisions and organize Codex into focused Development, Research, Tools, Marketing, and Safety workspaces.
Start with a free project evaluation—no credit card required. When you are ready, turn the result into a complete, organized Codex project for $59 one-time.
✓ No credit card required. Pay only if you choose the complete project packet.

A different role for the AI builder
You do not have to write every line. You do have to direct the project.
Codex can implement features, edit files, run tests, and investigate problems. But it still needs someone to define the outcome, set priorities, make important choices, and decide when the work meets the project’s needs.
Project Deputy helps you take that Project Architect role with a clearer blueprint and a structured way to work with Codex.
✓
A clear version-one boundary
✓
Decisions recorded before implementation
✓
Requirements Codex can refer back to
✓
Responsibilities separated by purpose
✓
Consistent project instructions
✓
Acceptance checks that define done
Project Deputy helps you become the architect of your Codex project—not pretend to be its senior developer.
Your Codex project team
Give every part of the project a clear responsibility.
The packet does more than collect documents. It creates a shared blueprint and gives each specialist Codex workspace a defined, focused role.
Development
Works through the approved build plan in clear, verifiable phases.
Research
Investigates unanswered product, market, technical, or operational questions.
Tools Setup
Identifies the accounts, services, local tools, and resources the project may need.
Marketing
Helps commercial projects examine audience, positioning, messaging, and launch choices.
Data & Privacy
Reviews what information the project uses, where it is stored, who may access it, and how long it should be kept.
Safety & Security
Examines permissions, secrets, sensitive workflows, failure risks, and safeguards when they are relevant.
Developer Assistance
Helps troubleshoot errors, understand failed workflows, and work through screenshots or unfamiliar technical messages.
These are focused Codex contexts with specialized instructions—not autonomous human employees. Each packet includes only the workspaces relevant to that project.

What you receive
Not one giant prompt. A project Codex can navigate.
Your project packet is the blueprint, team structure, and operating instructions for the build. It separates the project definition, development plan, research, and tool setup so each workspace has the right context.

“Couldn’t I ask Codex to create these files?”
Codex can create files and perform much of the development work. But it cannot decide what matters to you, what belongs in version one, which tradeoffs you prefer, or when the result truly meets your needs.
Project Deputy guides you through the important decisions and prepares the structure Codex and its specialist workspaces will use.
The packet does not replace your judgment or guarantee implementation quality. Projects involving substantial security, financial, medical, legal, engineering, or safety risks may still require qualified professional review.
Your project remains yours
Own the blueprint—not just the latest AI response.
You receive local files you can inspect, keep, revise, place under version control, and use with Codex. Your project’s purpose, decisions, responsibilities, development plan, and acceptance criteria remain visible to you.
You stay in the architect’s role even as Codex carries out development tasks.

Questions
Know what to expect before you begin.
What do I receive for free?
You can describe your idea, answer focused clarification questions, and receive a planning-readiness evaluation showing strengths, gaps, and decisions to resolve before development.
When do I have to pay?
You do not need a credit card to begin or complete the evaluation. The $59 one-time purchase applies only if you choose to create the downloadable Codex project packet.
What is included in the $59 packet?
The packet turns what Project Deputy learned into a structured specification, requirements, acceptance checks, task-specific instructions, a phased plan, relevant tools and research guidance, and plain-language Codex setup directions.
Do I need to be a developer?
No. Project Deputy is designed for people who can explain what they want to build, even if they do not consider themselves full software developers. You do not need to write every line of code, but you remain responsible for setting direction, reviewing choices, and approving the result.
What does “Project Architect” mean?
The Project Architect defines what the project should accomplish, establishes priorities and boundaries, makes important decisions, and evaluates the work. Codex performs development tasks within the structure and instructions prepared for the project.
Are the specialist workspaces human experts?
No. They are focused Codex workspaces with project-specific roles and instructions. They do not replace qualified professional review when a project involves substantial security, financial, medical, legal, engineering, or safety risks.
Do I need Codex already installed?
Not for the free evaluation. You will need access to Codex when you are ready to open and use the completed packet; the packet includes directions for that handoff.
Can I use this after starting in Lovable or another AI builder?
Yes. Your earlier work can help describe the idea and decisions already made. Project Deputy is a useful next step when you want a local, organized project with clearer instructions and ownership.
Is the packet generated specifically for my project?
Yes. The packet is based on your description and answers, and it includes only the project tasks that are relevant to the plan.
Does the readiness result guarantee that my application will succeed?
No. It measures how clear and complete the plan is. It can reveal avoidable gaps, but it does not guarantee implementation quality or business success.
Is Project Deputy affiliated with OpenAI?
No. Project Deputy is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI.
What happens to the information I enter?
Your work is saved on your device first. When the application is configured with Supabase, it may also save there so the project record can be maintained. Avoid entering secrets or sensitive personal information unless your project has established appropriate safeguards.
Begin with the idea you have
Your idea does not need to be polished. It needs a good place to begin.
