Create the future internet, one app at a time

Caffeine is an online platform that makes it possible to create and maintain successful apps and websites, simply by chatting with AI. Because only chat is required, Caffeine is a platform for "self-writing apps."

The platform unlocks a future where a large portion of the world's apps, websites and even enterprise systems, are eventually self-writing. On one hand, businesses will use self-writing apps to address common needs such as CRM (customer relationship management), ERP (enterprise resource planning), workflow management, and e-commerce. On the other hand, consumers will pioneer new paradigms, for example creating highly custom "hyperlocal" social media and e-sports functionality for usage by extended families and friend groups, as well as apps for simple needs such as handling the RSVPs for a wedding, or hosting the resulting photos.

Self-writing platforms will eventually power the creation and operation of hundreds of millions of apps, and become a dominant segment of the tech industry. They can reduce development costs and time to market by thousands of times, placing non-technical users in the driving seat, whether in business, entrepreneurial activities, or our private lives.

Create through instant messaging

The Caffeine.ai user experience is very similar to that on instant messaging services like WhatsApp and Signal. However, on Caffeine, users chat with AI, and each individual chat relates to a specific app they are creating or updating. In their chats, users provide instructions about features to create, or modifications to make, and after the AI has worked for a short while, their app makes its first appearance, or is updated, on its URL.

Update production apps with ease

Through chats, users update their apps in "draft" mode, with their instructions causing new versions of their draft app to be created. At any time, they can decide to push the features of their current draft app to their "live" app. The AI then takes care of updating the live version of their app so that it has the same features as the draft version, without the user having to do anything technical.

Some vibe coding platforms, such as Lovable and Replit, also now target "no code" vibe coding, which is essentially self-writing. However, there are large differences in how Caffeine approaches the self-writing challenge, and differences in the results achieved.

Caffeine uses a new tech stack to create and host apps, which is designed as a force-multiplier for AI working in the role of tech team, and provides safety guarantees. For instance, on Caffeine, the AI writes backend software using a new programming language for AI called Motoko, which increases the sophistication of the apps that AI can construct, while also preventing data from being accidentally lost when they are updated.

The new stack for AI that Caffeine applies has the following advantages:

1. AI's software writing abilities are force-multiplied
2. Strong safety-rails provide strong guarantees
   1. Guaranteed — app updates don't lose data
   2. Guaranteed — safety from traditional cyber attacks
   3. Guaranteed — apps are always available
3. Apps can scale without code changes or interruption
4. Apps are sovereign and portable, without lock-in
5. Deep Web3 functionality is supported
