Now in public alpha

Stop Chatting. Start Doing.

Chat apps just talk. Caipi is a fast, lightweight app for Claude Code — so AI can finally do things, not just say things.

The problem

AI today has limitations

AI Assistant
Can you help me organize my vacation photos by date?

I'd be happy to help you organize your vacation photos! However, I can't access files on your computer.

Here's what you can do instead:

  1. Upload your photos here (max 10 at a time)
  2. I'll analyze them and suggest organization
  3. You'll need to manually rename and move them
But I have 847 photos...
Upload files or type a message...
Web Chat AI

Powerful minds in a sandbox

ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Gemini — they're brilliant at conversation. But they're trapped in a browser tab, completely cut off from your actual work.

  • Can't access your files or folders
  • Can't run commands or scripts
  • Copy-paste everything manually
  • Context lost between sessions
Terminal AI

Full power, zero comfort

Terminal-based AI agents can do almost anything. But you're flying blind through walls of text, hoping nothing breaks while you scroll past hundreds of lines.

  • No visual feedback on file changes
  • Scroll through endless text output
  • Intimidating for non-developers
  • Hard to undo or review changes

Capabilities

What can Caipi do?

Not just chat. Real actions, real outputs, real files.

Read & Access

Point to any folder on your Mac. No uploads, no file size limits. Caipi reads and understands your entire project.

Edit & Organize

Rename 500 files based on content. Restructure a codebase. Batch-process documents. At scale, instantly.

Build & Run

Write a Python script to visualize data and execute it immediately. Create tools, run them, iterate — all in one flow.

Research & Save

Browse websites, extract information, and save summaries directly to your local notes or Obsidian vault.

Preview & Review

See changes as they happen. File edits, generated plots, markdown previews — all visible without switching apps.

Pick Up & Continue

Your conversations persist locally. Return to any project, resume any workflow, keep your context intact.

Traditional AI lives in a browser tab — it can write, but it can't touch your work. Caipi breaks that wall.

No API keys. No configuration. Just download and connect.

Pay once. Own it forever.

No subscription. Early supporters get the best price — it increases as we approach stable.
