Your AI agent builds the model. Flatland compiles it.
Prerequisites
You need an AI coding agent installed on your machine. Flatland works with:
You also need Node.js installed (any recent version). That's it.

Describe your business
Open your agent. Use this prompt to build your first model:
You can describe your own business instead — the more specific you are, the more accurate the model. Revenue, costs, growth rate, margins. Whatever you know.
What happens next
Your agent calls Flatland's tools to build and validate the model:
- Initializes a new model with typed drivers
- Resolves the dependency graph — which outputs depend on which assumptions
- Compiles: evaluates every computed value in order
- Runs your assertions — flags anything that violates your conditions
- Returns the compiled results: revenue, gross profit, EBITDA across all three years
What to try next
Once your base model is compiled, ask your agent to go further:
Just describe what you want in plain language. Your agent handles the tool calls.
