Chat as a Platform. Apps, Reimagined.
Agents, LLMs, and MCPs are not just another tech wave. They mark the dawn of a new era in how we interact with technology.
For the first time in history, we can talk to our tools the same way we talk to people. No manuals to read. No buttons to click. Just words. This shift doesnβt just make software easier - it makes it universally accessible. It opens up technology to everyone.
But todayβs general-purpose βdo-it-allβ agents fall short of that promise. They promise magic, but deliver ambiguity.
- We donβt know what they really do.
- We donβt know what they remember.
- We donβt know what theyβre good at.
And often theyβll just fail.
Theyβre great for digging up information - may that be quick questions or deep research. But for our everyday lives, thatβs just scratching the surface. What we still canβt do is talk to our favorite tools. Our task managers, calendars and other apps - and have them do what we want, the way we want it, by simply saying it.
Thatβs why weβre building Chaps. A platform for a new kind of apps: Apps you can chat with.
For Developers and Creators
Chaps empowers developers, product builders, and business owners to offer their products through a more human interface. A chat-native experience. Just like the App Store enabled the mobile ecosystem, Chaps enables this new frontier: where every tool, service, and workflow can live as a Chat.
And just like mobile had new UI paradigms - touchscreens, gestures, swipes - chat-native apps will require their own primitives:
- Conversations over clicks.
- Memory instead of state saving.
- Tone of voice over visual design.
- Preferences that are inferred, not configured.
Weβre not just building a wrapper for existing apps. Weβre creating the rails for a whole new modality. Some apps will start by adding chat as a side interface.
But many will be born on it.
For Users and Teams
Chaps makes it possible for users to interact with the apps they already love - but through conversation. They can express intent in plain language, receive helpful and tailored responses, and even personalize how these chat apps behave. Without writing a line of code.
Your apps should understand you. Your preferences, your workflows, your language. Chaps makes that possible - out of the box.
For the Ecosystem
As with any platform, enabling developers and creators to monetize is key to building a thriving ecosystem.
- Who pays for the AI?
- How do builders get rewarded?
- What business models make this sustainable?
Chaps is tackling these questions head-on. Because a vibrant, creative, and diverse ecosystem depends on it.
This is the future weβre building.
If youβre a developer, designer, product thinker, or just someone who believes software should speak human - weβd love to talk.
