CatDoes

When an app needs a backend, the agent checks with the builder and then provisions CatDoes Cloud with a database, email, phone, Google and Apple sign in, storage and edge functions for custom logic, webhooks and third party calls.

Keys for services such as Stripe or OpenAI go into encrypted environment variables that the agent asks for by name, phone sign in runs through Twilio, the agent pushes commits to a linked GitHub branch and handles pulls and merge conflicts on Plus and above, and Expo and Apple Developer credentials drive mobile builds. There is no catalog of ready connectors and no MCP support.

An autonomous agent runs in the cloud on its own computer, plans the work, writes the code, installs packages, runs the tests and fixes its own errors, so the builder can close the tab and return when it is done. Bigger tasks get a planning step on their own, backend functions are checked before they deploy and verified afterward, and the agent carries a release through web deployment, Android builds or App Store submission in the chat. One project can hold a website and a mobile app side by side, each in its own folder.

An existing GitHub repository, including one exported from Lovable, Bolt or Base44, can be imported with its git history so the agent works from the real codebase, and typing @ points the agent at any file or folder. Marked up screenshots and pasted error messages add context for a fix. There is no knowledge base, document upload library or retrieval over a team's own material beyond the project's code.

Asked to plan first, the agent shares the plan and waits for a go ahead before writing code. Before a risky backend change, such as changing data in the database, deleting a function or disconnecting the Cloud, it asks for Allow or Deny, it asks before a GitHub pull would overwrite work, and it never removes or relaxes an API key without asking. Every message saves a checkpoint the builder can rewind to, saved versions can be restored from History, and the live site only changes when the builder asks for another deploy.

Every environment variable is encrypted before it is stored, Expo tokens, Apple passwords and verification codes go into secure fields that are encrypted end to end and never visible to the AI, and Watch redacts emails, passwords, API keys and card numbers before storing errors. Private projects visible only to the builder's team need a paid plan, and Enterprise offers private deployment and custom SLAs. Single sign on, roles and security attestations are not offered.

CatDoes Watch captures runtime errors from web, iOS and Android apps with stack traces, file locations and device details, groups them into issues with event counts, and filters by app, status and development or production. The Cloud tab shows the app's database, users and backend, and History keeps every saved version. The agent's own steps show in the chat as it works, but there is no exportable record of its commands and no feed to outside monitoring.

Compact and save stores the current chat as a version in History and starts a fresh conversation while the project and codebase carry over, and long chats are best compacted because the agent can lose track of earlier context. Projects keep their code, backend and versions. No memory of preferences or decisions follows the builder from one chat or project to another apart from the code itself.

Websites deploy to a catdoes.app address or a custom domain, Android builds come back as files to publish on Google Play, iOS builds are submitted to the App Store, and APK, AAB and IPA exports are available from Starter up. Apps are standard React Native Expo or React with Vite and Tailwind projects, downloadable from Plus up. The service runs on CatDoes's cloud, Enterprise lists private deployment options without further detail, and no region choice is offered.

Showcase apps such as a furniture and decor shop, a matcha shop and a short video feed show what a finished build looks like, and guided paths turn an existing Lovable or Base44 site into a native iOS and Android app. Prompt guides cover planning, debugging and saving credits. There is no library of templates or packaged agents to start a project from.

Work starts from a message in the CatDoes dashboard on the web or on a phone, where files can also be browsed and edited, and an error captured by CatDoes Watch can be sent to the agent with one click. The agent keeps going after the tab closes and support replies arrive by email. Nothing starts the agent on a schedule, from a chat channel or from an outside event; each task begins with a message from the builder.

The builder picks one of four agent tiers, Low, Medium, High and Max, that trade reasoning depth against credits per step, with Medium as the default for new projects and High or Max suggested for planning before dropping down to build. The tiers are not tied to named models or providers, and there is no provider choice or bring your own key. High needs a balance above 100 credits and Max above 230, and the tier drops on its own when the balance falls below that.

No API, SDK, command line tool or MCP server lets an outside tool create projects, prompt the agent or deploy an app, so every change goes through the CatDoes dashboard. Code moves out through two way GitHub sync on Pro, pushes to a linked branch on Plus and above, or a full download, environment variables can be exported from Core up, and an imported or exported project stays a standard Expo or React codebase other tools can work on.

The agent runs tests and fixes its own errors as it builds, and debug mode has it place console logs through the relevant code, wait for the builder to reproduce the bug and then read the real output to find and fix the cause. Errors from development and from live users land in Watch and go to the agent with one click, backend functions are verified after deploying, and a live preview at phone, tablet and desktop sizes plus development builds on a registered iPhone or iPad let the builder check the result.

Given the address of a public website from Lovable, WordPress, Shopify or elsewhere, the agent visits and studies the public pages, extracting the website's design, branding and content to build a matching native app, though pages behind a login are out of its reach and need a GitHub import instead. That reading of public pages is the extent of it: no agent clicks through websites, fills in forms or operates a desktop.
