Buildroom · LITE edition

More headroom.
Still your machine.

Step into larger approved local models without changing the principle: your hardware, your project and a workflow you can review. LITE is available through Microsoft Store.

Available · Perpetual license

See Microsoft Store for current regional pricing, offers, requirements and the downloadable version.

THE ENGINEERING WORKSHOP

Ambition, assembled.

An idea takes shape through scope, coordinated work, review, and evidence. Product capabilities remain specific to each edition and release.

Illustrative motion · human direction remains at the center.

Scale the model to the work

A bigger local toolbox.

LITE adds larger local model choices, including the 20B expansion. Confirm the exact profiles exposed by your installed release and run the hardware checks.

EVERYDAY WORK

Keep the small models.

A larger edition does not mean every question needs the largest model. Keep a responsive model available for everyday tasks.

DEEPER LOCAL WORK

More room for complexity.

Larger coding and reasoning profiles give capable machines another option for planning and bounded engineering work.

HARDWARE FIRST

A license is not more memory.

RAM, GPU memory, drivers, context and simultaneous workloads all matter. Try FREE and check readiness before purchasing.

AUTOPILOT · ALL EDITIONS

Automation.
Not “good luck.”

Autopilot is about doing the approved work—not just describing the clicks. Supported browser and desktop workflows stay bounded by the actions you authorize.

Multi-step navigation, waiting for interfaces, clearer feedback and stronger recovery are active areas of improvement across FREE, LITE and ADVANCED.

Supported actions depend on the installed release, target application and permissions. Stop does not undo an action already completed.

What does LITE cost?

The Microsoft Store listing shows the current price and any founder offer for your region. LITE is offered as a perpetual license; review the license and purchase terms at checkout.

Is LITE still coming soon?

No. LITE is available. Individual updates can still be in qualification or rolling out separately from the already-available edition.

Does LITE include ADVANCED’s workers?

No. ADVANCED’s heavier engineering and governed LAN worker direction is separate. LITE remains focused on your local workflow.

Does LITE need Mainely Code token packs?

Not for local inference. Your PC, storage and electricity remain your resources. Optional external services have their own terms and charges.

Next-update work

More from the models you have.

The current engineering work brings GRIND and the CLI further into the Buildroom experience. Delivery is qualified separately from the already-available Store releases.

GRIND

FREE is getting the GRIND.

The next FREE update expands bounded, iterative work instead of reserving the idea for the highest tier.

BUILDROOM CLI

Your terminal. Same Buildroom.

A command-line surface alongside the desktop, with the same edition-specific capabilities and approval boundaries.

AUTOPILOT

Better continuity. Clearer results.

Natural navigation wording, stronger recovery, durable conversations and source-bound verification are part of the current work.

Powerful AI. For the People.

Your machine. Your work. Your build.

Start with FREE. Try a real project. Check your hardware before choosing a paid edition.

MAINELY CODE / PRACTICAL GUIDANCE

More model choice starts with hardware fit.

Buildroom LITE extends the local AI coding workflow with a larger approved model catalog, including 20B choices. A larger model can demand substantially more memory and compute headroom; the edition does not remove your machine’s limits.

  1. Check the current Store requirements and the model profile before downloading.
  2. Keep enough storage for the app, selected model and project work.
  3. Try a representative task with the context you actually need.
  4. Judge responsiveness and the quality of the reviewed result before choosing a larger profile.

LITE uses a perpetual license. The Microsoft Store listing is the source for the current price and regional offer. Autopilot remains a workflow of reviewed actions, with support tied to the installed release. The separate ADVANCED development direction does not imply that distributed worker capabilities ship in LITE.
