Chat apps just talk. Caipi is a fast, lightweight app for Claude Code — so AI can finally do things, not just say things.
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:
ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Gemini — they're brilliant at conversation. But they're trapped in a browser tab, completely cut off from your actual work.
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.
Not just chat. Real actions, real outputs, real files.
Point to any folder on your Mac. No uploads, no file size limits. Caipi reads and understands your entire project.
Rename 500 files based on content. Restructure a codebase. Batch-process documents. At scale, instantly.
Write a Python script to visualize data and execute it immediately. Create tools, run them, iterate — all in one flow.
Browse websites, extract information, and save summaries directly to your local notes or Obsidian vault.
See changes as they happen. File edits, generated plots, markdown previews — all visible without switching apps.
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.
No subscription. Early supporters get the best price — it increases as we approach stable.
Early access. Help shape the product with your feedback.
More stable. Most features finalized.
Production-ready. Full documentation.
Caipi connects to the official Claude Code CLI — you'll need an active Claude subscription that includes Claude Code access.
Here's where we are.
