A workspace per client
Code, data, secrets, and access walled off per engagement. No shared project soup — and when the engagement ends, the whole workspace transfers or stays under your care.
For AI consultants & agencies — early access
The delivery platform for AI consultants.
A workspace for every client — agent, keys, hosting, deploy, security. You build. Garden runs the rest.

1
Plant a workspace
One click creates an isolated environment for the client — their own space, their own data boundary, their own domain.
2
Connect your keys
Bring your Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini keys — or the client’s. Usage runs at raw cost, metered per workspace.
3
Build with your agent
Drive the workspace from Claude Code or Cursor, or use Garden’s built-in agent. Data and auth are already wired in.
4
Ship & keep it alive
Deploy to the client’s domain, publish to their team only, hand over cleanly — or keep it monitored under your retainer.
The problem
Every engagement starts with a week of plumbing.
You won the client. Then the real work starts — and none of it is the work they hired you for. A repo, a host, a database, auth, a deploy pipeline, API keys to juggle, a security questionnaire to answer alone. Per client. Every time.
And after the handoff? The app you shipped last quarter quietly breaks, and there’s no retainer to cover the call you’re about to get.
The building was never the hard part. Your coding agent made that fast. It’s everything around the build — the delivery — that still runs on duct tape.

Why it pays
More of your week, spent building.
Today, delivering one client project means a stack of separate tools — an agent seat here, hosting there, auth, domains, monitoring — each with its own bill, all stitched together with the one thing you can’t buy more of: your time.
Garden collapses that stack into one platform. The hours you used to spend wiring, deploying, and answering security reviews go back where they belong — into the work the client is paying for.

The platform
Everything a delivery. Nothing a science project.
Your model keys, any lab
Claude today, GPT tomorrow, both at once. Pay raw model cost with zero markup, metered per client so you always know what each engagement costs and what to bill.
Hosting & one-click deploy
Staging and production per workspace, custom domains, SSL, rollbacks. Publish internal-only, so the client’s team — and no one else — can reach it.
Client-ready security
SSO, audit logs, data-handling docs, and questionnaire-ready answers — so the client’s IT review takes an afternoon, not a month.
Agency Pro: VPC & own-cloudMonitoring that funds retainers
Uptime, errors, and usage per deployment — with alerts to you before the client notices. The 90-day quiet breakage ends here.
White-label, down to the pixel
Your logo on the portal, your domain on every deployment, your name on the invoice. To your clients, you’re the platform.
Where you are
Two ways in. One platform.
Already consulting
Ship more. Set up less.
Migrate the client apps you already run, and start new engagements without the setup, deploy, and maintenance grind.
Just getting started
Learn it. Then land it.
Leads but no engagement yet — or starting from zero? The Academy teaches you the trade, and the platform makes your first delivery credible.
The difference
Built for client delivery — not adapted to it.
Coding agents made building fast. App builders made prototyping easy. Neither was designed for running many clients’ software as a business.

Questions
The things you’d ask on a call.
Do I need to be an engineer to use Garden?
No. If you can drive a coding agent — Claude Code, Cursor, or Garden’s built-in agent — you can deliver on Garden. The platform handles the parts that used to require a DevOps background: environments, deploys, domains, auth, and monitoring. Engineers are welcome too; they just ship faster with less yak-shaving.
Whose API keys do the apps run on, and what does usage cost?
Yours (or your client’s — your choice, per workspace). Garden passes model usage through at raw provider cost with zero markup, and meters it per client so you can rebill it however you like. We make money on the platform subscription, not on your tokens.
Where do client apps run, and who owns them?
Each app runs in its client’s isolated workspace on Garden-managed infrastructure, published only to the people the client chooses. The work product is the client’s; ownership transfers in one clean step whenever the engagement calls for it. On Agency Pro, deployments can also land in the client’s own cloud or VPC for regulated environments.
Can I keep using Claude Code or Cursor?
Yes — that’s the intended workflow. Your agent connects to the workspace and drives builds there, with data connections and auth already wired in. Garden’s built-in agent is there when you want it, not instead of what you use.
What do my clients actually see?
Your brand. On Agency and above, clients log into a portal carrying your name and domain, receive your invoices, and never hear the word “Garden” unless you want them to. To your clients, you’re the platform.
What does forward-deployed engineer support include?
On Agency Pro, a Garden engineer works alongside you when an engagement outgrows one pair of hands — complex integrations, gnarly data migrations, production hardening. We can also take on managed maintenance and on-call for your deployed client apps, under your brand, so you can sell support agreements you don’t have to staff at 2 a.m.
I don’t have any clients yet. Is this for me?
Start with the free Academy: playbooks, scoping and pricing templates, and demo apps you can fork and show in your first sales conversations. Upgrade to a paid tier when there’s a real client to deliver for — not before. We’d rather you win the work first.
