How the platform works, end to end.

What is Archibal?

Archibal is a provenance platform for AI-generated creative work. It captures every generation from your tools with its prompt, model, seed, and workflow; keeps everything in a searchable library where recipes and lineage stay recoverable; and delivers finished work with signed C2PA manifests, a frozen production record (PDF), and a public verification page anyone can check. Alongside the record, it documents the usage terms of every model route you used and surfaces advisory governance findings for the markets you declare - advice, never a gate.

The dashboard

Work One project per job. Tabs: Outputs (what was made), Governance (context, findings, model terms), Delivery (presets, sign-off, the record).

Library Everything you ever generated, across projects: search by prompt, model or project; recipes, lineage, and each file's full production record.

Capture Connect tools: the Claude connector, the ComfyUI node, vendor webhooks, log import. Unrouted captures land in the Inbox for one-click filing.

Settings Account, plan, workspace members and invitations, API keys with scopes, connected apps.

Getting started

Creating an account

Register at /register with your email, or sign in with Google or Microsoft. After registering you'll receive a verification email - click the link to activate your account.

First capture

The fastest route: open Capture, connect Claude (paste one URL into Claude's connector settings) or install the ComfyUI node - or simply upload a finished file into a project. Everything else follows from having work on record.

Teams & collaborators

From Settings, invite members by email (owner / editor / viewer). You can also invite a lawyer to a single project as a reviewer for the opt-in sign-off flow - they don't take a creative seat.

Receiving work

Clients don't need an account: a delivery arrives as a link to the recipient page (approve or request changes there) and every delivery carries a public /verify/[token] record. Anyone can also check any file against the registry at /verify.
