NATHAN ARCHER THE WORK CUSTOM SOFTWARE →

ARCHER // TECHNOLOGY

Software for
people who make things.

The tools I design and direct for my own drawing, music and production work, and the custom software I make for artists and studios. Each one is labeled with where it actually stands.

FORM

PROTOTYPE
What it is
An AI-assisted drawing reference and artistic development studio. Set the pose, camera, anatomy, lighting and composition, then generate and revise references to draw from.
How it works
A desktop app. You connect your own AI provider, and your keys stay in your operating system's credential store, out of project files and exports.
QUILL in FORM
Optional. Helps with references, composition, anatomy, perspective and lighting when asked. It can stay silent, and it doesn't critique your work unless you invite it to.
Status
Working prototype. Not available yet.

QUILL

IN DEVELOPMENT
What it is
The optional intelligent companion inside ARCHER software. The same recognizable character in every app, with skills that match the app it's serving.
The rules
Optional, dismissible, and able to work silently. No critique without an invitation. Your creative decisions stay yours.
Privacy
QUILL in one app doesn't get to read another app's files. Any version I release is kept apart from my own private QUILL archive, which doesn't ship with anything.
Status
In development. Not available on its own.

ENGINE

IN DEVELOPMENT

WORKING NAME. THE FINAL NAME ISN'T CHOSEN YET.

What it is
A creative operating system: voice control and automation for music and production work, with project navigation and system coordination. Powered by QUILL.
Status
In development. Not available yet.
