CatDoes
CatDoes is an AI-powered app builder that lets users describe mobile apps, websites, or other software in natural language, after which an autonomous AI agent plans the work, writes the code, runs tests, and ships the build. The agent operates in the cloud on its own computer, installing packages and fixing its own errors. It supports web apps built with Vite and mobile apps built with Expo React Native, all from a single prompt. Users can edit and export the full codebase, preview the app on multiple device sizes, or scan a QR code to test live on a phone. The platform also supports importing existing GitHub repositories to continue development and converting existing websites from Lovable, WordPress, Shopify, or other sources into native mobile apps. CatDoes Cloud provides a managed backend that automatically handles database, auth, storage, and edge functions based on the user's description. The service is available on a freemium pricing model.
