# Capy

> Capy is the best AI software engineer. Delegate tasks to parallel coding agents that plan, build, and ship — from task to merged PR.

Capy uses a dual-agent architecture: Captain (the planner) creates detailed task specifications by analyzing your codebase, and Build (the executor) implements them in isolated cloud VMs. Each task gets its own branch and PR. Teams can run concurrent AI coding agents across supported Claude/GPT/Gemini/Grok/Kimi/GLM/Qwen models.

Pricing: Pro is $20/month per org with 3 seats and $20 of usage credits included, then $10/seat beyond that. Usage beyond included credits is pay-as-you-go.

Founded in 2024. Backed by Y Combinator (F24). Based in San Francisco.

## Product Concepts

- Captain: AI planning agent that reads codebases, asks clarifying questions, and writes exhaustive implementation specs. Never writes production code.
- Build: AI execution agent that receives specs and implements them in dedicated Ubuntu VMs with full access to Docker, runtimes, git, and terminal.
- Review Agent: Automated code review on every PR — finds bugs, security issues, and quality problems. On AI-generated PRs, routes fixes back to Build automatically.
- Jams: Individual coding tasks. Each jam runs in its own isolated cloud VM with its own git branch.
- Parallel Development: Run multiple concurrent jams, each in isolated cloud environments with their own branches.
