Capybari
Capybari is a SaaS platform that provides a complete engineering department as a managed service. It can take an idea from concept to production or take over an existing codebase and maintain it. The platform plans the work, assigns specialized AI agents to different engineering roles, writes and tests code, performs reviews, deploys to your infrastructure, and monitors the running system. Capybari is designed to learn an existing project, allowing it to take over legacy software and continue development with minimal friction. It also supports live interactive sessions where users can see previews update in real time as the AI works. A daily briefing keeps stakeholders informed with a concise summary of progress and outstanding decisions. The platform includes security controls such as isolation, approval gates, rollback, and disclosure handling. It is positioned for startups, non-technical founders, agencies, and internal tooling scenarios where traditional hiring is impractical. Capybari offers a free trial and is a paid service thereafter.
