Experience the self-writing paradigm in action

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.

What is the Caffeine platform?

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.

Apps can scale without code changes or interruption

When apps begin to have scaling needs, either due to increased usage, or high variability in usage patterns, Caffeine can deploy apps to a feature known as an "Engine" (feature scheduled for availability in Q2 2026). When hosted on an Engine, an app can usually be scaled without modification, or interruption, simply by adjusting the number and type of network nodes powering the Engine.

Apps are sovereign and portable, without lock-in

A key concern of all app owners is vendor lock-in. Because Caffeine builds apps on an open technology stack, they are both sovereign and portable. In default usage, Caffeine deploys apps to a public cloud network that employs TEE technology to protect privacy. However, in 2026, new open source products based on the same revolutionary technology will allow users to run their apps on private cloud networks, which run on servers of their owner's choosing.

Deep Web3 functionality is supported

Because Caffeine builds tamperproof apps on a secure network, apps can natively interact with smart contracts on traditional blockchains, and securely process and custody their tokens (currently, this functionality is restricted, but it will be unlocked in 2026). This enables apps to interact with traditional DeFi, and also payment and financial systems based on stablecoins, which are set to become much more popular since they enable far greater automation, for example by AI agents.
