Byblos AI Private Beta: Our September Launch Announcement

On September 4, 2026, we announced Byblos AI’s private beta and its Product Hunt launch. We invited early adopters to bring a real idea, try Product Manager, Brand Manager and Campaign Manager, and tell us what to build next.
Update, 21 October 2026: Free needs no card and has no time limit. Launch is available now in beta with self-serve signup and checkout, with no access request. Grow and Byblos AI Pro need an access request and approval before checkout. Co-CTO (private beta) is included in Grow and Pro: it turns your roadmap into technical decisions and GitHub issues, and reviews pull requests, while your developers or coding agents implement the software. Video Studio is in private beta on Pro and coming soon for Launch and Grow. Human experts are in early access: browse experts on any plan, message or invite them on paid plans, and yearly Pro includes two human reviews; review-credit purchases, in-app contracts and payments to experts are not available. Production Foundation is available by request. See Byblos AI plans and access.
The launch account below describes that September invitation. Its original rollout boundaries have since changed as noted above.
What “Private Beta” Meant at Launch
At the September launch, private-beta access was granted account by account. That rollout let us work closely with early adopters.
Limiting access let us stay close to the first teams using Byblos AI. That means we see where the workflow holds up, where it stalls, and which outputs founders actually keep. Opening the door to everyone at once would give us more signups and far less signal.
The September announcement described the agents offered to early adopters. Access now follows the Free, Launch, Grow and Pro split in the October update above.
The Agents Introduced at Launch
Byblos AI is an AI co-founder platform: one project, with specialist AI agents for product, brand, and marketing sharing the same context. The September launch focused on three agents.
Product Manager: your AI product manager
Product Manager turns a founder’s context into connected product artifacts: kickoff, empathy research, market and competitor analysis, lean canvas, personas, validation planning, solution planning, and build-ready PRDs and backlog stories.
What makes it more than a document generator is the chain it keeps: explicit dependencies between artifacts, evidence-linked confidence, stale-artifact warnings, and human approvals at each gate.
Product Manager keeps every artifact linked to the phase and evidence it came from.
Brand Manager: your AI brand manager
Brand Manager evolves your positioning into one shared brand system every agent reuses: voice, tone, messaging pillars, visual identity, and governance for logos, colors, and shared assets.
It is stored with the project, so it is not a PDF nobody opens. Other agents read it before they write a word.
Brand strategy lives with the project, so downstream output stays on-brand by default.
Campaign Manager: AI marketing campaigns while you build
Campaign Manager plans multi-channel campaigns for LinkedIn, X, and Instagram, creates and edits posts and images against the brand guidelines, and gives you a content calendar with scheduling and review flows.
A content calendar with review and scheduling, fed by the same brand system.
How the Rollout Has Changed
The September announcement described Co-CTO, Pro, code delivery and the expert marketplace as future additions. As of 21 October 2026, Launch is available now in beta with self-serve signup and checkout. Grow and Byblos AI Pro need an access request and approval before checkout. Co-CTO is in private beta on Grow and Pro, human experts are in early access, and Production Foundation is available by request. Review-credit purchases, contracts and payments to experts are not available in the app. Check current plans and access before choosing a paid plan.
Byblos AI is also not an autonomous founder. It does not replace real customer conversations, and it will not decide your roadmap for you. Humans stay responsible for evidence quality and consequential calls.
Who the Private Beta Is For
- Founders and startup teams: take one idea from kickoff to a build-ready PRD and backlog with Product Manager, without hiring a product manager on day one.
- Marketers: set a brand system once with Brand Manager, then plan and schedule on-brand campaigns for LinkedIn, X, and Instagram with Campaign Manager.
- Early-stage product people: pressure-test how AI-assisted discovery, validation, and approvals hold up on real work, and shape where the platform goes next.
How to Get Started Today
- Start with Byblos AI Free or sign up for Launch with self-serve checkout. For Grow or Byblos AI Pro, review the plans and request access.
- Bring a problem you actually care about: the beta is far more useful on a real idea than on a test project.
- Start with a Product Manager kickoff, then let Brand Manager and Campaign Manager build on that context.
The Feedback We Are Asking For
Early adopter feedback is the whole point of a private beta, and general praise helps us less than specific friction. The questions we most want answered:
- Where did an output need heavy editing? Tell us which artifact and what you changed.
- Where did the workflow feel like paperwork? Any gate that adds ceremony without adding confidence should go.
- What did you keep? The artifacts founders paste into a deck, a repo, or an investor update tell us what is genuinely load-bearing.
- What was missing? Especially the moment you left Byblos AI for another tool.
Every one of those makes the next version of the AI co-founder sharper. Send them from inside the app, or reply on the Product Hunt thread.
Our September Product Hunt Launch
We announced Byblos AI on Product Hunt. An upvote helps other founders find the platform, and an honest review, including the critical parts, tells us which pieces of the workflow matter most.
