-# Get Started with Amplication
+# Amplication Documentation
 
-Welcome to Amplication's developer documentation!
+Amplication helps you scaffold, build, maintain, and scale backend services that align with your organization's best practices, supporting you throughout the entire development process.
 
-Amplication is an open-source, AI-powered code generation solution for rapid .NET and Node.js development. Unlike other AI code generation tools, Amplication is the only one that guarantees production-ready code generation for all your backend needs.
+Our platform combines live templates, AI-powered code generation, and proactive technical debt management to help teams quickly scaffold, create, maintain, and scale production-ready Node.js and .NET backend services while continuously enforcing organizational standards.
 
-## Quick Start
+## Quickstart
 
 [Create your first service](/first-service/) with Amplication's AI, Jovu, and generate a .NET or Node.js _production-ready codebase in minutes_.
 
-## Customize Your Generated Service
+## Embed Your Organization's Best Practices
 
-Amplication transforms your ideas into production-ready code in minutes, but we're more than just a code generator. Our platform supports you throughout the entire development process.
+Define and maintain standardized development practices through live templates and private plugins, including code conventions, tools, architecture patterns and more.
+Create templates with pre-configured settings, code generator version, and plugins. When templates or plugins are updated, these changes are automatically proposed as pull requests to all dependent services, ensuring your standards continuously evolve across your entire service portfolio.
 
-Use these features to fine-tune and customize your service to your exact needs:
+- **Live Service Templates**: Create and maintain standardized service architectures that automatically propagate best practices
+- **[Private Plugins](/private-plugins)**: Create organization-specific plugins for secure, internal functionality and standardization, or use [community plugins](/getting-started/plugins/) for common features. Support for security, deployment, monitoring, and more functionality.
+- [**Platform Console**](/platform-console): Centrally manage service standards and configurations
 
-- [Set up entities and fields](/set-up-entities/)
-- [Configure roles and permissions](/configure-roles-and-permissions/)
-- [Create and manage custom API endpoints and data structures](/custom-types-and-actions/)
-- [Extend capabilities with plugins](/add-plugins-service/)
-- [Commit changes and build](/commit-and-build-new-versions/)
+## Technical Debt Prevention
 
-## Key Features
+Track and manage technical debt through our [Platform Console](/platform-console) and Service Catalog.
+Monitor template versions, plugin updates, and dependency changes across all services.
+Receive automatic notifications when updates are available and get clear upgrade paths for outdated services.
+Maintain consistent standards across your entire service portfolio, with all changes tracked through version control.

+## AI-powered Backend Generation
 
-## Tutorials and Samples
+Our AI assistant, Jovu, helps you rapidly generate production-ready backend services with built-in best practices. Generate complete service infrastructure including REST and GraphQL APIs, database models, authentication, and logging in minutes. Customize your services through our platform's intuitive interface while maintaining consistent standards.
