Caddi
Product Hunt Ben Lang
Caddi turns one narrated screen share into a working back-office agent. It learns the job from your real tools, then logs every run and scopes every permission.

Caddi launched today on Product Hunt with a blunt pitch: show it the work once, and it builds the agent for you. The company says it takes narrated screen shares and turns them into production agents that can handle back-office tasks across the tools you already use.
The appeal is obvious. Instead of treating automation like a project that needs scoping, developers, and a pile of setup steps, Caddi wants to compress the whole thing into a single demonstration. You run through the task, describe what’s happening, and the system learns the process, builds the automation, and leaves you with a way to edit it in plain English.
That puts it in a familiar but messy territory. RPA and workflow builders have always promised to save time, but they tend to ask for more planning than people want to give. Caddi’s pitch is that it combines AI reasoning with deterministic execution, so it can think where it needs to and still behave predictably when it matters.
The company also leans hard on control. Every run is logged, and every permission is scoped. That matters because the moment you let software operate across real business tools, the useful part and the risky part are usually the same thing.
Caddi is free with options, and its Product Hunt page frames it as an agent builder that only needs to see the work once. That is a tidy promise. The real test is whether “show it once” survives contact with the boring chaos of actual office work.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the right kind of automation pitch: less slideware, more let the machine do the dull bit. The industry has spent years dressing up fragile workflows as transformation, which is a fancy way of saying everyone paid a lot to babysit software. If Caddi keeps the logs tight and the permissions narrow, it has a better shot than the usual AI spectacle with a shiny demo and a fire extinguisher.
