How it works · the five-minute version

How CatWrangler works.

From sign-up to shipping in a few minutes. No Git, no setup, no version-control words to learn — you point your AI at CatWrangler and build.

2One private link

Get your project link

You get one link, unique to your company and project. That link is your private CatWrangler — the one thing you hand to your AI.

3Paste and go

Hand the link to your AI

Paste the link to your AI and say “set yourself up here.”

It pulls down a tiny setup file and connects itself to your project — now it knows how to talk to your CatWrangler. Nothing for you to configure.

4Plain language

Build — in whatever app you love

Keep working exactly how you already do. Describe what you want in plain language; your AI builds it.

Underneath, CatWrangler runs real version control for you — catching conflicts, keeping the why behind every change, never overwriting your work. You never see any of it.

5The payoff

Watch it come together

Open your project’s website — on your laptop or your phone — to see everything your AIs built and decided: the live map, the decisions, the progress.

And talk to your code — ask the AI questions about your subsystems and decisions, anything you want.

Already have code?

Bring in your existing repo.

At sign-up, choose “Bring in existing code.” Point CatWrangler at your repo — one shot. It brings your code in and, where it can, captures the decisions already baked into it, so your AIs start with context, not a blank slate. (And you can take it back out in one shot too — no lock-in.) From there, steps 2–5 are identical.
