1
00:00:01,126 --> 00:00:02,347
All right, how's it going everyone?

2
00:00:02,347 --> 00:00:04,550
Welcome to another episode of Forward Thinking Founders.

3
00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:10,456
We talked to founders about their visions for the future markets and how the world
collides.

4
00:00:10,456 --> 00:00:15,280
Today I'm very excited to be talking to Madi Nuri, who's a co-founder and CEO of Cat Does.

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,092
Welcome to the show, how's it going?

6
00:00:17,454 --> 00:00:17,834
Yeah.

7
00:00:17,834 --> 00:00:18,354
Hello man.

8
00:00:18,354 --> 00:00:18,634
Thank you.

9
00:00:18,634 --> 00:00:20,114
Thank you for having me here.

10
00:00:20,114 --> 00:00:24,154
And also hello to everyone who's listening and also watching.

11
00:00:24,154 --> 00:00:24,654
Yeah.

12
00:00:24,654 --> 00:00:28,014
My name is Mahdi and I'm a co-founder and CEO of Katdos.

13
00:00:28,814 --> 00:00:32,294
And I can also tell you about what Katdos.

14
00:00:32,294 --> 00:00:37,014
So yeah, we have URA and no code AI mobile app builder.

15
00:00:37,394 --> 00:00:40,854
And you can think of like lovable for mobile apps.

16
00:00:40,854 --> 00:00:42,794
That's basically what we are doing.

17
00:00:43,794 --> 00:00:44,783
And yeah.

18
00:00:44,783 --> 00:00:46,199
yep, keep going, yep.

19
00:00:46,562 --> 00:00:58,908
Yeah, I mean, um, and, uh, we, have launched a month ago and, uh, it's been a exciting
time, you know, like, uh, seeing all the users building apps on our, our platform.

20
00:00:58,908 --> 00:01:02,789
Um, so yeah, it's been an exciting, exciting time.

21
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:08,749
So if I was to sign up for your platform, walk me through how it works.

22
00:01:08,749 --> 00:01:12,908
Or if someone was listening, they wanted to, you while they were working or something,
wanted to try it out.

23
00:01:12,908 --> 00:01:15,872
Can you walk us through UX of how it works?

24
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:22,084
Yeah, I mean, we have these like, different AI agents.

25
00:01:22,178 --> 00:01:24,479
that all work together to build your app.

26
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:28,720
So the first AI agent that you will see is our requirements agent.

27
00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:33,621
And here basically you tell the agent what kind of app you want.

28
00:01:33,621 --> 00:01:39,743
um Like all the features that you need, like how it's going to behave, kind of things.

29
00:01:39,743 --> 00:01:45,584
And then this agent will pass all this like information to our designer agent.

30
00:01:45,665 --> 00:01:49,646
And the designer agent basically implements the UI of your app.

31
00:01:50,711 --> 00:02:02,806
And then, um, while it's doing so, also writes like some to do's for the next agents,
which, uh, which, which essentially implements the business logic of your app.

32
00:02:02,806 --> 00:02:08,558
So all of these agents together with, we'll like finally build, build the app for you.

33
00:02:08,859 --> 00:02:16,162
And then we have the release agents, which, uh, automatically submits your app to the app
store or to the Google play.

34
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:20,536
So yeah, this is like the general flow of the platform.

35
00:02:21,746 --> 00:02:28,706
So it's funny because today's Dev Day with OpenAI and I was listening to some of it, but
they have this agent builder, which is cool.

36
00:02:28,706 --> 00:02:31,166
feel like the word agent has been thrown around.

37
00:02:31,166 --> 00:02:33,346
What does agent mean to you?

38
00:02:33,406 --> 00:02:41,946
Like if I'm signing up, it like, is it there is that you have different kind of, you know,
experiences where each agent has a name and they're like, oh, hey, I'm Susan and I'm going

39
00:02:41,946 --> 00:02:43,706
to help you with your QA.

40
00:02:43,706 --> 00:02:47,626
You know, I'm going to help you with your requirements or yeah, how does that work?

41
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:51,186
Because I feel like we're kind of in the dawn of agents right now.

42
00:02:51,672 --> 00:03:05,826
Yeah, I think, to me, what agent is, basically an agentic loop, and tools that are
assigned to perhaps the, the, the, the AI model.

43
00:03:05,866 --> 00:03:17,809
So, for example, when you're like asking chat GPT about something, it could go on search
on the, on the internet for, for getting like, uh, the latest updates or like more

44
00:03:17,809 --> 00:03:20,370
information on the, on the topic that you have asked.

45
00:03:20,910 --> 00:03:22,832
Or, uh, there's like a loop.

46
00:03:22,832 --> 00:03:32,301
goes to first search about the topic and then maybe it does another thing and then finally
answers your question, something like that.

47
00:03:32,301 --> 00:03:41,629
You know, like there's this loop happening, like, that that's basically what I would say
is, like an AI agent.

48
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:54,916
And in our case, you can think of like the agents maybe first reads a file to see like
what are the contents of the file and then goes on search, searches the web to get like

49
00:03:54,916 --> 00:03:58,257
some information about the, about the thing that you have asked.

50
00:03:58,257 --> 00:04:02,579
And then it is the file, you know, like there's like a loop happening.

51
00:04:02,579 --> 00:04:05,305
There's the tools that are being called on by tools.

52
00:04:05,305 --> 00:04:09,642
mean, like these operations, like reading a file, editing, editing a file.

53
00:04:09,882 --> 00:04:12,123
These are like all the tools that are assigned.

54
00:04:12,123 --> 00:04:17,226
to the AI model basically to uh implement your app.

55
00:04:17,226 --> 00:04:20,118
So yeah, that's basically what an agent is.

56
00:04:20,118 --> 00:04:21,949
Yeah.

57
00:04:22,886 --> 00:04:24,239
yeah, I love that answer.

58
00:04:24,239 --> 00:04:27,133
It's very descriptive and it sounds like you've thought through it.

59
00:04:27,616 --> 00:04:30,431
Why did you decide to build this company or this platform?

60
00:04:30,431 --> 00:04:32,123
Like why CAT does?

61
00:04:32,833 --> 00:04:33,183
Yeah.

62
00:04:33,183 --> 00:04:43,885
I mean, back then the, the main reason was a friend of my co-founder, wanted to build a
mobile app.

63
00:04:44,407 --> 00:04:52,736
And, and then my co-founder told her, Hey, there's like lovable or like, Hey, there is
this platform that you could go and use.

64
00:04:53,431 --> 00:05:04,939
But the problem was like after a week she came back to us and told us, I went to use this
platform, but it was like too difficult for me because she was a non-technical person.

65
00:05:04,939 --> 00:05:12,454
And like, she didn't know like all the terms or like the technical things that you need to
know to build the app.

66
00:05:12,594 --> 00:05:17,588
And then we went on Reddit to see like, if this is a, like a universal problem, right?

67
00:05:17,588 --> 00:05:21,960
Unlike subreddits like, like no code and like these other subreddits.

68
00:05:22,335 --> 00:05:36,755
And then we saw, okay, there are like a lot of sub a lot of like, um, posts, like people
sharing their problems, building apps on, these like platforms.

69
00:05:37,015 --> 00:05:41,939
And we said, okay, what if we build a platform that is non-technical friendly?

70
00:05:41,939 --> 00:05:44,821
Like even my mom could use it.

71
00:05:44,821 --> 00:05:45,181
Right.

72
00:05:45,181 --> 00:05:51,435
Uh, and basically that's why we have started working on Katdos and, um,

73
00:05:53,645 --> 00:05:58,392
We are focusing on non-technical users at the moment.

74
00:05:58,434 --> 00:06:01,178
And we are also like generating more apps.

75
00:06:01,178 --> 00:06:05,384
So we are not focused on like web apps or like any other kind of like platforms.

76
00:06:07,478 --> 00:06:12,006
You probably have to be very technical to be able to build a platform like this.

77
00:06:12,006 --> 00:06:14,949
Tell me about your background or your team's background.

78
00:06:14,949 --> 00:06:21,477
um Because to make it easy for me as a non-technical person, you probably got to put in
the hard work, right?

79
00:06:21,806 --> 00:06:22,706
Yeah.

80
00:06:22,806 --> 00:06:26,006
I mean, I started coding back in 2014.

81
00:06:26,006 --> 00:06:28,786
I was just like 14 years old back then.

82
00:06:28,786 --> 00:06:37,206
And then I, I basically, started like learning Java and, and developing Android apps.

83
00:06:37,306 --> 00:06:39,386
It was a hobby of mine.

84
00:06:39,706 --> 00:06:47,486
I was like publishing them on a local app store that we have back in Iran because Google
play is like banned.

85
00:06:47,630 --> 00:06:51,630
And after like three years, I got my first job.

86
00:06:51,630 --> 00:06:53,070
I was like working full time.

87
00:06:53,070 --> 00:06:56,190
I dropped out of college to work, to work there.

88
00:06:56,530 --> 00:07:00,690
And then back in 2021, I decided to move to Germany.

89
00:07:00,898 --> 00:07:08,381
And here I worked for like some top U companies like Delivery Hero and Zalando.

90
00:07:08,381 --> 00:07:11,832
And then I decided, okay, let's work on this idea.

91
00:07:11,832 --> 00:07:14,923
And then I quit my job to work on it full time.

92
00:07:14,923 --> 00:07:24,306
So that's like a, um like I would say like my coding background and working as a software
engineer.

93
00:07:24,598 --> 00:07:28,181
And it's kind of like similar to my co-founder.

94
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:34,166
She also started like learning and coding when she was back in Iran.

95
00:07:34,743 --> 00:07:43,506
And then she came to Germany to pursue her master in AI in a university in Germany.

96
00:07:43,506 --> 00:07:55,531
And then once we decided to work on this idea, she also quit her job and also dropped out
of college or like her university to basically go all in on our idea to work on CADDOS.

97
00:07:55,895 --> 00:08:03,501
And, um, yeah, I mean, it's, it's a, it's not like a, you're like your typical crowd app.

98
00:08:03,561 --> 00:08:06,984
Like it's not just like the database operations.

99
00:08:06,984 --> 00:08:17,782
Um, I would say the hard thing about implementing a platform like cat does is perhaps the
sandbox environment.

100
00:08:17,782 --> 00:08:20,684
Like, you know, um, like

101
00:08:21,282 --> 00:08:31,050
when you have a project on our platform and the agent should do some like operations on
the project, where does the project leave?

102
00:08:31,050 --> 00:08:34,113
You know, like where should the agent go and like edit the file?

103
00:08:34,113 --> 00:08:35,674
Like these kinds of things.

104
00:08:36,515 --> 00:08:39,977
I think that that's like one of the challenges.

105
00:08:40,374 --> 00:08:46,670
And there are like some platforms that their whole business is around this like sandbox
environment.

106
00:08:46,670 --> 00:08:49,642
Like one of the big players is like E2B.

107
00:08:50,023 --> 00:09:01,993
And, um but since, um I mean, we have like extensive knowledge in like computer
networking.

108
00:09:02,474 --> 00:09:07,478
We decided to implement it ourselves, like this sandbox environment.

109
00:09:07,827 --> 00:09:17,205
And um yeah, that's basically ah the challenge in implementing a platform like Caddus.

110
00:09:18,420 --> 00:09:20,187
I feel like right now...

111
00:09:20,624 --> 00:09:30,339
vibe coding, AI platforms, like it's taken the attention of the world and there's a lot of
folks in Silicon Valley who are like putting out these crazy launch videos and maybe

112
00:09:30,339 --> 00:09:32,299
there's some substance behind it and some not.

113
00:09:32,299 --> 00:09:41,124
Some may say we're in the middle of an AI bubble and it might pop and it's it's kind of
like unclear, but you know, are we, are we going to accelerate forever?

114
00:09:41,124 --> 00:09:42,714
Is there going to be a deceleration?

115
00:09:42,714 --> 00:09:50,648
How do you just think about the timing we are in AI adoption and do you, does it matter
for your company?

116
00:09:50,648 --> 00:09:55,042
Is it is they're operate in the same way regardless of what happens?

117
00:09:55,042 --> 00:09:58,394
guess what's your can I you know, what's your thoughts on that?

118
00:09:59,170 --> 00:10:13,938
Yeah, I mean, I think it goes back to how maybe like history works um or perhaps like how
Greeks thought about history, like these like golden ages and then the dark ages, these

119
00:10:13,938 --> 00:10:14,899
kind of things.

120
00:10:14,899 --> 00:10:27,726
I think there will come like a time that um the bubble bursts basically um and how it will
shape the market.

121
00:10:27,726 --> 00:10:28,946
is perhaps

122
00:10:29,974 --> 00:10:33,176
uh, by being a bit more like conservative, right?

123
00:10:33,176 --> 00:10:42,042
Like if a, a, if a, if an AI platform is currently like giving credits for free, um, that
might not happen anymore.

124
00:10:42,042 --> 00:10:52,619
And that basically, what, what that basically means is if you're living like in a third
world country, if you're broke, if you don't have like enough money to spend on these like

125
00:10:52,619 --> 00:10:53,950
AI products,

126
00:10:54,188 --> 00:10:58,061
then you might, um, get behind something like that.

127
00:10:58,061 --> 00:10:59,743
think could happen.

128
00:10:59,803 --> 00:11:13,316
And why I know this because like people that I know back in my country, they can really
like even, purchase the $20 a month, like cursor subscription, right?

129
00:11:13,316 --> 00:11:19,521
Or like a chat GPT subscription because $20 in like a third world countries is a lot of
money, right?

130
00:11:19,930 --> 00:11:25,093
And that could happen in a first world country as well.

131
00:11:25,894 --> 00:11:31,387
and I think that would be like the minimum effect of this, bubble bursting.

132
00:11:31,387 --> 00:11:39,062
Um, but for, for the companies themselves, you can think of, okay,

133
00:11:39,475 --> 00:11:46,682
the bottom of the stack that is like your day to day usual user, like the B2C kind of
user.

134
00:11:46,682 --> 00:11:49,845
Maybe there will be some like reduction on that.

135
00:11:49,845 --> 00:11:57,211
But then since these like air models are getting better, like every day, you can think of

136
00:11:57,433 --> 00:12:07,707
from the top of the stack, it's the companies that will perhaps replace their developers
with these AI tools.

137
00:12:07,707 --> 00:12:17,231
So perhaps the, the revenue shifts from the B2C from more of a B2P type of like revenue
generation.

138
00:12:17,231 --> 00:12:19,932
think that's basically what's going to happen.

139
00:12:20,373 --> 00:12:23,454
But yeah, that's just, that's just my opinion.

140
00:12:25,266 --> 00:12:26,606
Yeah, that makes sense.

141
00:12:26,606 --> 00:12:27,706
think that's right.

142
00:12:27,706 --> 00:12:30,486
And for you, so you said you launched about a month ago.

143
00:12:30,486 --> 00:12:35,106
I checking out some stats on you and it seems like it's exploding.

144
00:12:35,106 --> 00:12:38,806
It seems like there's a good amount of adoption to your website and whatnot.

145
00:12:38,806 --> 00:12:42,646
How are you growing without giving up your secret sauce?

146
00:12:42,826 --> 00:12:46,226
What are you doing to get adoption for a cat does?

147
00:12:47,052 --> 00:13:00,015
Yeah, I mean, the thing is currently we are in the process of raising our pre-seed and
since so far we have been like bootstrapping, we know we have to be like really careful

148
00:13:00,015 --> 00:13:03,158
where to spend money and where to not spend money.

149
00:13:03,354 --> 00:13:15,350
and we have to spend a lot of like our personal time to do like marketing and like user
acquisition and basically how we are doing it is just going like on a hunt, you know, you

150
00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:22,743
go on like social media and then you DM people like directly and That's how we are doing
it.

151
00:13:22,743 --> 00:13:33,354
It's not like a scalable but we have some like limitations with with our capital and
that's how we are we have decided to do it for now and

152
00:13:34,582 --> 00:13:41,866
I mean, obviously it's effective because you're like reaching out to users directly or
basically like your potential users.

153
00:13:41,866 --> 00:14:00,217
um But it's not a scalable and definitely we have to um think of like other ways of ah
acquiring users once ah we have the capital to um do some like more scalable things

154
00:14:00,217 --> 00:14:01,308
basically.

155
00:14:01,308 --> 00:14:04,641
Well, as Paul Graham says, do you think that don't scale to start?

156
00:14:04,641 --> 00:14:05,572
I'm sure you've seen that.

157
00:14:05,572 --> 00:14:07,583
And it's like, some people do that.

158
00:14:07,583 --> 00:14:12,047
uh I feel like for me, I live and breathe by that.

159
00:14:12,047 --> 00:14:15,640
And there's a point with a former company where I just kept doing it, even when I didn't
have to.

160
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,782
And I'm like, wait, you have resources now.

161
00:14:17,782 --> 00:14:19,564
Like go spend to get customers, right?

162
00:14:19,564 --> 00:14:22,496
But it's all a balance, of course.

163
00:14:24,118 --> 00:14:27,420
So right now you're in Germany, you said?

164
00:14:27,628 --> 00:14:30,654
Yes, this is both me and my co-founder are in Germany.

165
00:14:30,654 --> 00:14:31,415
Yeah.

166
00:14:31,630 --> 00:14:39,113
Is there any uh kind of edge or it's what's it like building this like company from
Germany?

167
00:14:39,113 --> 00:14:42,079
Do you feel like it is easier or harder than being in the States?

168
00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:45,021
What's the as you get an edge from being outside of the States for you?

169
00:14:45,021 --> 00:14:47,724
Does it not really matter because you sell to anyone on earth?

170
00:14:47,724 --> 00:14:50,525
What's your view on building kind of this global company?

171
00:14:51,618 --> 00:14:57,798
Yeah, I think um being in an environment that, uh

172
00:14:58,222 --> 00:15:09,565
pushes you to excellence or like pushes you to build a great company is definitely a huge
deal, I would say.

173
00:15:10,105 --> 00:15:21,018
And the minimum thing would be not being in an environment that doesn't allow you to
flourish or doesn't allow you to build the thing that you want to do.

174
00:15:21,018 --> 00:15:21,908
Right.

175
00:15:22,269 --> 00:15:26,350
And unfortunately, I think being in Berlin,

176
00:15:28,010 --> 00:15:42,198
is currently not like the best place for us to be in because it's not just about the
government, it's also the culture of the people ah that shapes the environment, right?

177
00:15:42,198 --> 00:15:56,387
And here, like I'm not talking about the whole Germany, but especially in Berlin, people
are kind of like negative, like on people who are like

178
00:15:56,387 --> 00:16:04,413
pursuing to build their own companies, um, or have like, maybe like capitalistic views on
the board.

179
00:16:04,413 --> 00:16:12,579
Uh, they, they see them as, someone negative or like, um, it's not like a good thing to be
a sort of founder here in Berlin.

180
00:16:13,861 --> 00:16:25,487
so yeah, that, um, that's, that's something that, we, we, we are definitely working on and
how we are doing it is basically we want to move to SF.

181
00:16:25,774 --> 00:16:34,434
And, uh, it's, it's kind of challenging because, uh, of the, of the travel ban, after like
the recent travel ban.

182
00:16:35,034 --> 00:16:42,974
Um, um, but these like laws changes, like, um, perhaps like once every six months or so.

183
00:16:42,994 --> 00:16:48,474
So we are, we are hopeful to see like, um, this like travel travel bans lifted.

184
00:16:48,814 --> 00:16:54,694
And, and yeah, we will, uh, find a way to move to the stuff somehow.

185
00:16:55,482 --> 00:17:06,433
For the folks that are maybe not as attuned to why you'd want to move to SF versus, you
know, Chicago or New York or Miami, uh why SF?

186
00:17:06,433 --> 00:17:11,217
Why is that kind of the target in your work?

187
00:17:11,938 --> 00:17:27,423
Yeah, I think, I think being in SF is, um, the, the, I think the minimum thing would be
the talents that is, um, available in, in SF.

188
00:17:29,224 --> 00:17:33,766
that is like quite important for scaling and AI company.

189
00:17:34,463 --> 00:17:38,487
And also, uh, it's, it's perhaps about the culture.

190
00:17:38,487 --> 00:17:53,200
mean, I have never been to a self, but from the things that my friends have told me, or
like I've seen on social media, it's, it's, it's, there's like a culture of, pushing you

191
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,362
to like reach excellence or like to.

192
00:17:57,049 --> 00:18:08,490
grow your company and also apart from the culture and the talent that is available in NSF,
perhaps the other part is the capital that is available.

193
00:18:08,951 --> 00:18:10,953
And that is also a huge part.

194
00:18:10,953 --> 00:18:20,221
uh Both, mean, that's also part of the culture as well, because if you want to raise in
Europe, then

195
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:33,606
There is also a reflection of the government's culture on the VC side, because then
there's also like the, all the bureaucracy or like all the paperwork that, that is

196
00:18:33,606 --> 00:18:34,126
involved.

197
00:18:34,126 --> 00:18:46,322
Like, I think it's kind of like normal in Europe to perhaps have like six meetings with a
VC and a month of time to get a, get a check.

198
00:18:46,402 --> 00:18:50,864
And from what I've heard from SF that's like, uh,

199
00:18:50,864 --> 00:18:58,664
that's like not normal in SF to go through like six different meetings and then get an
answer.

200
00:18:59,384 --> 00:19:08,924
So yeah, I think these are all the things that's that makes SF like a perfect place for
building an AI company.

201
00:19:10,226 --> 00:19:11,986
Yeah, I'd agree with all those points.

202
00:19:11,986 --> 00:19:24,546
One thing that I think about is, well, I'm in Phoenix and I think our ecosystem here is
very well-intentioned and better than it was 50 years ago, but it's very long way to go.

203
00:19:24,546 --> 00:19:28,746
And I kind of wonder, think SF is the undisputed number one.

204
00:19:29,166 --> 00:19:34,826
If you were to kind of go compare, call it Phoenix to Berlin.

205
00:19:35,246 --> 00:19:49,173
even though Phoenix is a much physically closer to SF, is it different or is just that SF
is so unique in that culture of people that SF is just 10,000 miles ahead of any scene,

206
00:19:49,173 --> 00:19:50,603
regardless of where they're at?

207
00:19:50,603 --> 00:20:01,598
Because in Phoenix, is also, a lot of the issues that people talk about with VCs across
the pond, I love a lot of local VCs, a lot of them are really great, they're friends of

208
00:20:01,598 --> 00:20:02,999
mine, but in general,

209
00:20:04,820 --> 00:20:08,624
It's kind of a way of doing business and SF is one of one.

210
00:20:08,624 --> 00:20:14,709
Even New York, from what I've heard, I've been, but I'm not as involved in the tech scene,
but even New York, it's not as fast.

211
00:20:14,709 --> 00:20:17,862
It's harder to underwrite these early stage companies versus an SF.

212
00:20:17,862 --> 00:20:22,866
They just kind of, it's half vibe, half pattern recognition on seeing how these things
unfold.

213
00:20:22,866 --> 00:20:24,557
And I think that's pretty special.

214
00:20:24,994 --> 00:20:27,475
Yeah, I definitely agree on that.

215
00:20:27,896 --> 00:20:40,554
I'm only like seeing what is happening uh in SF from social media and like from what my
friends have told me, but it's like, it's like a different place.

216
00:20:40,554 --> 00:20:47,549
It's kind of like, like an alien planet, you know, like it's not like a normal place, I
would say.

217
00:20:47,549 --> 00:20:48,550
So yeah.

218
00:20:48,550 --> 00:20:55,597
Well, whenever you do go, you'll see when you land and you drive into the city, you just
are, I believe it's the 202, could be the 101.

219
00:20:55,597 --> 00:20:57,359
It's the 101 or the 202.

220
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,821
And all of the billboards are just tech companies.

221
00:20:59,821 --> 00:21:11,422
Every single one, like every one, you you got HubSpot and you got frigging, you know,
OpenAI and you got Anthropic and you know, you know, I don't know, all these different

222
00:21:11,422 --> 00:21:11,903
companies.

223
00:21:11,903 --> 00:21:12,493
And it's just...

224
00:21:12,493 --> 00:21:13,574
um

225
00:21:13,574 --> 00:21:19,925
You know, we have tech companies in Phoenix that have billboards like maybe one out of
every 5,000 are tech companies.

226
00:21:19,925 --> 00:21:25,504
Usually it's like lawyers or real estate people, but that's just natural for the scene,
right?

227
00:21:25,504 --> 00:21:27,837
It just depends on where each city is.

228
00:21:28,396 --> 00:21:31,114
Yeah, yeah, I totally agree on that.

229
00:21:31,408 --> 00:21:34,239
So let's go back to the product a little bit.

230
00:21:34,379 --> 00:21:42,381
Obviously there's a point where this probably can't, like this, doubt, I could be wrong,
you can correct me, but I doubt like I could, I can't build Uber on this.

231
00:21:42,381 --> 00:21:49,364
I can maybe build the tech, but I still need to, there's APIs, I need to get, you know,
get drivers and background checks and all that stuff.

232
00:21:49,364 --> 00:21:53,965
I guess where does the limit, where is the limit to building on CAD does?

233
00:21:53,965 --> 00:21:57,066
Or is there really no limit and it's just a human limit?

234
00:21:58,318 --> 00:21:58,688
Yeah.

235
00:21:58,688 --> 00:22:14,123
So the thing is I personally can build Uber on CADDOS, but the platform should allow even
someone like my mother to also be able to build an Uber on CADDOS, right?

236
00:22:14,123 --> 00:22:16,385
I think that that would be the goal.

237
00:22:16,385 --> 00:22:19,225
And maybe one, um,

238
00:22:19,225 --> 00:22:26,898
bottleneck in this, achieving this is the AI models, like them getting better over time.

239
00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:34,542
And also how your platform allows these AI agents to operate, right?

240
00:22:34,542 --> 00:22:45,067
um There are some like perhaps like secret sources that some of these AI platforms as well
as cat does use.

241
00:22:45,507 --> 00:22:49,990
that could differentiate us from some other platforms that don't have this secret sauce.

242
00:22:49,990 --> 00:23:02,159
And that's, that's basically perhaps the, the tools that are assigned to the AI agents, as
well as the system prompt, like how much are you able to elevate the AI model from the

243
00:23:02,159 --> 00:23:03,099
baseline?

244
00:23:03,099 --> 00:23:06,862
And, and that's currently what is like making the differentiation.

245
00:23:06,862 --> 00:23:14,407
um But this should get, um

246
00:23:15,307 --> 00:23:17,348
Not as important in the future.

247
00:23:17,348 --> 00:23:30,496
And the reason is these AI models will get so much better, perhaps one year down the line
that, um, it doesn't really matter what you have on your system prompt or what tools have

248
00:23:30,496 --> 00:23:42,807
you really assigned to the, to the AI agent, because the AI model itself has like so much,
like it has so much depth in its knowledge that it will be able to, um,

249
00:23:42,807 --> 00:23:48,784
Work much much better on its own without without your like without your secret sauce
essentially.

250
00:23:48,784 --> 00:23:49,574
Yeah.

251
00:23:49,692 --> 00:23:50,032
Totally.

252
00:23:50,032 --> 00:23:59,258
And I think to kind of round this out, like how do you kind of think of the future, uh you
know, maybe over the next two to five years, that's impossible to predict where the models

253
00:23:59,258 --> 00:24:00,188
will be.

254
00:24:00,208 --> 00:24:02,870
We can guess, but then, you know, whatever happens happens.

255
00:24:02,870 --> 00:24:09,914
But what's in your control, where do you see CAT does going, you know, two, five years
from now, um how do you envision the company?

256
00:24:11,439 --> 00:24:22,099
um I think um the division that I have for CAD does is the ultimate mobile app building
platform.

257
00:24:22,099 --> 00:24:24,423
um

258
00:24:24,461 --> 00:24:35,094
I mean, we can, can definitely like expand to web apps and like different platforms, but,
uh, that's not like my, my personal passion.

259
00:24:35,094 --> 00:24:39,735
My personal passion is, is, uh, solely the mobile apps.

260
00:24:39,735 --> 00:24:52,671
Uh, because that's how I started learning to code because I wanted to build apps and, uh
and by ultimate mobile app building platform, what I mean is.

261
00:24:53,997 --> 00:25:01,594
You have all the things that is relevant to mobile apps on the platform itself.

262
00:25:01,594 --> 00:25:03,987
Like perhaps you have the backend.

263
00:25:03,987 --> 00:25:06,819
You can think of like a Kat does cloud.

264
00:25:06,819 --> 00:25:11,523
You have the crash reporting system and you have the analytics.

265
00:25:11,523 --> 00:25:17,448
have the user management tools, like all of these things are baked into the platform.

266
00:25:17,789 --> 00:25:20,047
And, um,

267
00:25:20,047 --> 00:25:24,467
So you like, there's no reason for you to go and use like other platforms.

268
00:25:24,467 --> 00:25:28,607
You can just build your app from start to finish all on Katdos.

269
00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:34,787
That's for perhaps for like individuals and the B2C side and for the B2B side.

270
00:25:35,267 --> 00:25:41,187
What I imagine for Katdos is at least

271
00:25:42,625 --> 00:25:53,179
If your, if your company is a sale, like hiring developers, those developers are all using
cat does to build, uh, your, businesses mobile app.

272
00:25:53,580 --> 00:26:00,623
And that, that, that would be the vision, um, for cat does in like two or five years down
the line.

273
00:26:02,706 --> 00:26:03,626
That's awesome.

274
00:26:03,626 --> 00:26:06,526
I'm really excited by it because I think you're being very thoughtful.

275
00:26:06,526 --> 00:26:08,686
You're not just kind of vibing it, right?

276
00:26:08,686 --> 00:26:15,806
You're building a thoughtful platform, thinking of all the parts that are necessary to let
someone like me, who's non-technical, to ship one of these.

277
00:26:16,026 --> 00:26:17,486
So that's awesome.

278
00:26:17,546 --> 00:26:25,686
If I wanted to find out more about the company or try it out or, know, obviously I know
how to find it, but if someone's listening, they want to try this out, where can they find

279
00:26:25,686 --> 00:26:26,746
you?

280
00:26:26,746 --> 00:26:31,886
know, website, app store, where can someone get started here with Cat Does?

281
00:26:32,387 --> 00:26:42,497
Yeah, I mean, our website is caddos.com and you can just go there and sign up, create an
account and start building your app.

282
00:26:42,497 --> 00:26:44,900
You have a free tier.

283
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:50,265
can use that to basically get to know the platform and see like how it works.

284
00:26:50,265 --> 00:26:52,437
And then, uh

285
00:26:52,437 --> 00:27:01,075
Once you felt like comfortable, once you saw a value in using our platform, then of course
you can upgrade to our, our pro our pros here.

286
00:27:01,075 --> 00:27:09,482
Um, and yeah, and, um, looking forward to seeing like all the apps that will be created
on, on Katdos.

287
00:27:11,185 --> 00:27:11,726
100%.

288
00:27:11,726 --> 00:27:13,667
Well, thank you so much for coming on the pod.

289
00:27:13,667 --> 00:27:14,986
I really appreciate it.

290
00:27:14,986 --> 00:27:20,438
I think this is a very exciting space and to see your growth and to see you in it is
awesome.

291
00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:24,223
So if you're listening, you wanna build a mobile app, go to catdoes.com.

292
00:27:24,223 --> 00:27:28,118
uh Maddie, thank you so much for coming onto the podcast.

293
00:27:28,118 --> 00:27:29,509
I really appreciate it.

294
00:27:29,667 --> 00:27:31,019
Thank you, thank you, Matt.
