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.
Point to a folder and go. PDFs, spreadsheets, images, code — Caipi reads, understands, and works with whatever's on your machine. No uploading, no size limits.
Convert a video, resize 200 images, generate a chart from a CSV. AI writes the script, runs it, and hands you the result.
Rename files by content, sort folders by date, clean up duplicates. Tasks that take hours become a single prompt.
Pull data from the web, summarize it, and save it straight to your notes. No copy-pasting between tabs — results go directly into your files.
Watch file changes, diffs, and generated outputs as they happen. A visual interface that shows you what the agent is doing — not just walls of text.
Sessions persist locally. Switch between projects, resume past conversations, keep your full context intact across days and weeks.
Web AI can talk. Desktop AI can actually do things — on your files, on your machine, in the background.
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.
