Building your first app on Caffeine takes minutes. You describe what you want in a chat conversation, the AI generates the full application — frontend, backend, and data layer — and your app appears at its own URL. From there, you keep chatting to refine it.
No account setup, no configuration, no coding. Just describe and build.
How the interface works
The Caffeine interface works like a messaging app. Each conversation corresponds to one app. You type what you want, the AI builds it, and you continue the conversation to make changes.
Basic flow:
- Start a new conversation and describe the app you want to build
- The AI works for a short while — typically one to a few minutes — then your app is live at its URL
- Continue chatting to add features, change the design, fix things, or adjust behavior
- When you are happy with your changes, push them from draft to live
You can run multiple conversations in parallel, building or updating different apps at the same time.
Draft and live mode
Every Caffeine app has two versions running at once:
Draft is where you work. All changes happen here first. The draft is a temporary environment — it is reclaimed if you are not actively using it, and draft data does not persist the same way live data does.
Live is the permanent, production version your users access. Live data persists as long as your subscription is active.
When you are happy with your draft, use the Go Live button to push your changes to the live version. Caffeine handles any necessary data migration automatically. Always test your changes in draft before going live — once changes are published, your real users will see them immediately.
The free tier
All users get 5 free credits every day, including users on the free plan. These daily credits refresh at midnight and do not roll over — unused credits expire at the end of the day.
On the free plan you can start building and experimenting right away. There is no trial period and no time limit on the free tier — you can use your daily credits indefinitely.
Paid plans add a monthly credit allowance on top of the daily credits, plus access to premium features like custom domains, email sending, and app analytics.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build an app?
The first version of a simple app typically takes one to a few minutes. More complex apps may take longer. Subsequent updates are usually faster since the AI already has context about your app. Build times continue to improve as the AI gets better.
Do I need any technical skills?
No. Caffeine is designed for anyone who can describe what they want in plain language. No coding, no configuration, and no technical knowledge required.
Is there a free trial?
There is no separate trial period — the free plan is the trial. You get 5 credits per day indefinitely at no cost. You can build real apps and test the platform before committing to a paid plan.
What happens when I run out of credits?
You can still view and share your apps, but you cannot trigger new builds until credits are available again. Daily credits refresh every day, so free users always get another 5 the next day. On paid plans, you can also purchase additional on-demand credits at any time.
Can I work on multiple apps at once?
Yes. Start a separate conversation for each app. You can build, update, and switch between multiple apps in parallel.
How do I delete a project?
Click the project tile or avatar to open its settings, then choose the delete option. Warning: deleting a project permanently deletes both the draft and live versions of the app, including all data. This cannot be undone.
How do I rename a project?
Ask in the chat: "Please rename this project to [new name]." The AI will rename it immediately.
