# Caffeine > Caffeine is a self-writing internet platform: describe the software you need in plain language and Caffeine's AI builds, deploys, and runs a production full-stack web app for you. You then operate the app by talking to it — asking what's working and changing what isn't. Apps run on sovereign, tamperproof cloud infrastructure (the Internet Computer), and everything you build is yours: the code is exportable and no vendor, host, or third party can change, take, or inspect it. Key facts: - Building is conversational: you describe an app (or paste a URL, upload a zip, or import a GitHub repo) and Caffeine writes the specification, the code, and deploys a live app. Changes are made by chatting, not by editing code. - The stack is fixed and specialized for AI: React with TypeScript and Tailwind on the frontend, Motoko on the backend. Data is stored in the program itself (orthogonal persistence) — there is no separate database to provision or manage. - Upgrades are loss-safe: before an update goes live, Caffeine verifies the data migration. An update that would lose data is refused automatically and the AI retries, so mistakes never reach your users. - Apps run on cloud engines — serverless, fault-tolerant execution environments on the Internet Computer (see [Open Cloud](https://opencloud.org/)). There is no server, OS, or firewall to maintain, and apps can move between clouds without interruption. - You can ask your apps questions in plain language: Caffeine reads across the apps you've built and answers directly, with no dashboards to build. - Plans: Free (remix and preview), Host (run one live app), Studio (unlimited building), and Business (teams, roles, SSO). Current prices are on the [pricing page](https://caffeine.ai/pricing.md). - The site and product interface are available in 11 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Thai. English pages are unprefixed and every other language lives under a locale prefix, so the German pricing page is `https://caffeine.ai/de/pricing`. The markdown pages linked below are English only. ## Docs - [Help Center](https://help.caffeine.ai): official documentation, guides, and FAQs - [What Caffeine Can and Cannot Build](https://help.caffeine.ai/hc/en-us/articles/46899843565972-What-Caffeine-Can-and-Cannot-Build): capabilities and limits of the platform - [Publishing and Sharing Your App](https://help.caffeine.ai/hc/en-us/articles/46899797134612-Publishing-and-Sharing-Your-App): going live, custom domains, and sharing - [GitHub Integration](https://help.caffeine.ai/hc/en-us/articles/46899843980692-GitHub-Integration-Overview): exporting and syncing app code to GitHub - [Setting Up the Caffeine MCP Server](https://help.caffeine.ai/hc/en-us/articles/49663075113236-Setting-Up-the-Caffeine-MCP-Server): connect ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to Caffeine ## Product - [Home](https://caffeine.ai/index.html.md): what Caffeine is and how building through conversation works - [About](https://caffeine.ai/about.md): mission and team - [Pricing](https://caffeine.ai/pricing.md): plans and what each includes - [Pricing FAQ](https://caffeine.ai/pricing-faq.md): common questions about plans, credits, and billing - [Hosting](https://caffeine.ai/hosting.md): tamperproof, sovereign infrastructure your apps run on - [Integrations](https://caffeine.ai/integrations.md): connecting Caffeine apps to the tools you already use - [App Market](https://caffeine.ai/app-market.md): explore, remix, and publish ready-made apps - [Creator Program](https://caffeine.ai/creator-program.md): earn by publishing apps others use - [Caffeine for courses and bootcamps](https://caffeine.ai/education.md): shared team workspaces for cohorts and students ## What people build - [Internal tools](https://caffeine.ai/use-cases/internal-tools.md): build the tools your team needs by describing them - [SaaS](https://caffeine.ai/use-cases/saas.md): build a SaaS product without a development team - [Marketplace](https://caffeine.ai/use-cases/marketplace.md): two-sided platform with vendor approval and Stripe checkout - [Ecommerce](https://caffeine.ai/use-cases/ecommerce.md): catalogue, cart, one-time checkout, and order management - [Membership site](https://caffeine.ai/use-cases/membership-site.md): paid members-only content on your own domain - [Small-business website](https://caffeine.ai/use-cases/small-business-website.md): lead forms, bookings, and payments - [Education app](https://caffeine.ai/use-cases/education-app.md): attendance, records, portals, and reports for schools - [Online course platform](https://caffeine.ai/use-cases/online-course-platform.md): enrollment, lessons, quizzes, certificates - [Live polls and quizzes](https://caffeine.ai/use-cases/live-polls-and-quizzes.md): audience apps with no per-event fees ## Developer tools - [Caffeine MCP server](https://help.caffeine.ai/hc/en-us/articles/49663075113236-Setting-Up-the-Caffeine-MCP-Server): hosted Model Context Protocol endpoint at https://mcp.caffeine.ai/mcp (alpha, OAuth sign-in).

Then you run it by talking: asking what's working, changing what isn't. Caffeine ([caffeine.ai](https://caffeine.ai)) is a self-writing internet platform. You explain, in plain language, the app your team or business needs — an inventory tracker, a client portal, a booking system, a full SaaS product — and Caffeine's AI writes the specification, builds the full-stack application, and deploys it live. There is no code to write, no agency to hire, and no backlog to wait on. ## How building works 1. Describe your app in a chat. You can also paste a URL to imitate, upload a zip, or import a GitHub repository. 2. Caffeine writes a specification you can review, then generates the app: a React + TypeScript + Tailwind frontend and a Motoko backend. Data lives inside the program itself (orthogonal persistence), so there is no separate database to set up. 3. The app deploys to a live URL. From then on, every change is a conversation: tell Caffeine what to add or fix and it updates the running app. 4. Updates are loss-safe. Before a change goes live, Caffeine verifies the data migration; a change that would lose data is refused automatically and retried. Mistakes never reach your users. ## Ask your apps anything Ask a question and Caffeine reads across every app you've built, then answers in plain language. No dashboards to build. No jumping between apps to piece data together. ## Hosted your way, secure by default Apps run on cloud engines — serverless, tamperproof execution environments on the Internet Computer (see [Open Cloud](https://opencloud.org/)). There is no server or OS to patch and no firewall to maintain. Every app runs replicated across many machines, so it keeps running even when some fail. Your cloud, your code, your data: run apps where you want and move them anytime, with no vendor lock-in.

Caffeine builds the software you need from a plain conversation. You describe it, and it is yours. We believe the people who do the work should be able to build the tools for it, ask those tools anything, and reshape them on their own. And what you build should belong to you: yours to change, yours to keep, running on infrastructure no one else controls. ## The team From Zurich to California and worldwide: a team of engineers, designers, researchers, and makers shipping on the edge of what is possible with AI on the Internet Computer. Caffeine is built by the team behind the Internet Computer blockchain (DFINITY). - [Careers](https://caffeine.ai/careers): open roles - [Press](https://caffeine.ai/press): media kit and coverage - [Contact](https://caffeine.ai/contact): press, investor, and general inquiries --- Source: https://caffeine.ai/app-market.md # Caffeine App Market The [App Market](https://caffeine.ai/app-market) is where the Caffeine community publishes, discovers, and remixes apps built with Caffeine. ## What you can do - **Explore** ready-made apps and templates by category, creator, or search. - **Remix** any published app: clone it into your own workspace and reshape it by chatting — available even on the Free plan. - **Publish** apps you've built so others can use or remix them, and build a public creator profile. ## Browse - [All apps](https://caffeine.ai/app-market/all-apps) - [Categories](https://caffeine.ai/app-market/categories) Category pages live at `https://caffeine.ai/app-market/categories/` — education, games, productivity, shopping, social_networking, travel, other — and are published in every language the site serves, at `https://caffeine.ai//app-market/categories/`. ## Creators Every publisher has a public profile at `https://caffeine.ai/app-market/creators/` listing the apps they have published. Profiles and app listings are single-language documents: one URL each, whichever language you arrive in. Publishing and creator rewards are covered by the [Creator Program](https://caffeine.ai/creator-program.md). --- Source: https://caffeine.ai/creator-program.md # Caffeine Creator Program The Caffeine Creator Program, offered by Caffeine Labs AG, invites participants to grow the Caffeine.ai ecosystem by inspiring, engaging, and accelerating people to build complete apps and websites by chatting with AI. - Participants submit project proposals and, if selected as Community Creators, may receive incentives (cash and/or tokens, where permitted by law) for contributions that grow adoption of the Caffeine ecosystem. - Incentives are awarded at the sole discretion of the Company and are not guaranteed; participation is voluntary and governed by the program's Terms and Conditions. The full Terms and Conditions are on the [Creator Program page](https://caffeine.ai/creator-program). Apps are published and discovered through the [App Market](https://caffeine.ai/app-market.md). --- Source: https://caffeine.ai/education.md # Caffeine for Courses, Bootcamps, and Students Bring Caffeine into a bootcamp, university course, entrepreneurship program, or workshop. Learners build and host full-stack web apps in a shared workspace — with no local setup, deployment work, or development environment to configure. ## How it works for a cohort - **A shared team workspace**: instructors manage seats and shared credits; learners build in the browser. - **Every learner ships something real**: each project becomes a hosted, shareable full-stack web app rather than a slide deck. - **No environment setup on the syllabus**: nothing to install, so the first session starts with building. - **Exportable work**: students keep their code and can take a project with them after the course. ## Where it fits App-building bootcamps, university product/design/engineering courses, entrepreneurship programs, continuing education, hackathons, and workshops — anywhere the learning outcome is working software.

Caffeine apps run on cloud engines: serverless, tamperproof execution environments on the Internet Computer (see [Open Cloud](https://opencloud.org/)). There is no server, operating system, or firewall for you to maintain. ## How hosting works - **There's nothing to break into.** Your software does not sit on a server behind a wall someone has to keep patching. It runs on a network that's secure by its math: no operating system to breach, and once your app is live, no one can quietly change it. - **It keeps running, whatever happens.** Every app runs on many machines at once. If some go offline, or are tampered with, the rest carry on. You do not get paged in the middle of the night, and the people using your software never notice. - **An update can't lose your data.** When you change an app, Caffeine checks the change before it goes live. If it would lose data, it is refused, and the AI simply tries again. The mistake never reaches the people using your software. - **Run it anywhere. Move it anytime.** Put your software on the public network, your own cloud, or your selection of machines — wherever makes sense for you. Move it between them whenever you like. - **You choose where it lives, and who runs it.** Pick the machines your software runs on by country, by operator, by the level of security you need. Keep it inside your borders, or close to your customers. - **Genuinely yours.** The code is clean and yours to export. The data is yours. No vendor, no outsider, and not even Caffeine can quietly change it, take it, or look inside.

It builds and hosts the working web app, with logins, roles, and an admin panel. You never write code, deploy servers, or maintain anything. ## What teams build - **Work order trackers** — intake forms, job status boards, technician views scoped to assigned jobs. - **Timesheets** — crews log hours against jobs, managers approve weekly, monthly reports export per person. - **Purchase orders** — staff submit requests, managers approve, items are marked received, with a PDF for every PO. - **Inventory trackers** — your own categories, low-stock warnings on a dashboard, and a checkout log. - **Quoting tools** — build a quote from a price list, the client approves it, and it becomes a tracked job through to invoice. - **PTO trackers, onboarding checklists, KPI dashboards, approval workflows, client portals, CRMs, and booking tools** — each shaped to how your business actually runs. ## Everything a real business tool needs - **Roles and access control**: Admin, User, and Guest roles come standard, plus custom roles; an admin panel is generated automatically. - **Private by default**: new sign-ups wait in an approval queue until someone on your team lets them in. - **Dashboards and documents**: live charts for inventory, invoices, or pipeline; export reports and invoices as PDFs. - **Files and email**: upload and share files inside your tool; send outbound email on paid plans. - **Integrations**: call external APIs over HTTP and take payments with the built-in Stripe checkout. - **Safe changes**: every change is checked before it goes live, so an update never wipes your records. Your app runs on the Internet Computer and stays available — and you can export your code anytime. ## FAQ **Do I need engineers to build an internal tool with Caffeine?** No. You describe the tool in plain language and Caffeine builds it as a working full-stack web app. If your team does have engineers, they can export the code anytime and extend it. **What happens to our data when the tool changes?** Every update is checked before it goes live. If a change would lose data, it is refused and rebuilt, so an update never wipes your records. **Can the tool work with our existing systems?** Yes. Your app can call external APIs over HTTP, take payments through the built-in Stripe checkout integration, send outbound email on paid plans, and handle file uploads and PDF export.
