Every BetterPlatform starts on Catalyst.
Our in-house framework. The plumbing every platform needs, already built, so the week goes to your problem.
Where the time goes
70% rebuilding the basics
Non-functional requirements
- Security
- Infrastructure
- Scale
- Accessibility
Staying on top of the curve
- What is the best way for a form to work?
- What are my users actually doing?
- Support tickets and minor improvements
Monday morning, two ways
Same project, same team. The only difference is what’s already done before anyone opens a laptop.
A normal project
7 jobs before the real work- Set up login and sign-up
- Build roles and permissions
- Wire up file uploads
- Build the admin panel
- Add tables, filters, and exports
- Set up email and WhatsApp messages
- Do a security and accessibility pass
- Your problem, eventually
On Catalyst
Already shipped- Set up login and sign-up
- Build roles and permissions
- Wire up file uploads
- Build the admin panel
- Add tables, filters, and exports
- Set up email and WhatsApp messages
- Do a security and accessibility pass
- Your problem, from day one
Your platform, ready on day one
Every platform on Catalyst comes with the tools to run it, and a mobile app for your users. Your team manages people, content, and conversations from one place, without waiting on a developer.
Fix it once. Every platform gets it.
Every improvement we make to Catalyst ships to every platform built on it. A security fix found while working on one client protects all of them. A better way to handle a form reaches everyone. And it compounds: every new platform brings new requirements, those become Catalyst features, and every platform gets them. That’s how yours stays on top of the curve without a rebuild.

Every platform gets them
More platforms, more features. More features, better platforms.
Just ask your platform.
Catalyst AI is built into every platform. Your team types or speaks what they need, and it does the clicking for them, asking to confirm before it changes anything. And through Catalyst’s MCP server, the AI tools your team already uses can work with your platform too.
AI writes less, because Catalyst already did.
Most of a Catalyst platform is framework code. When our engineers build with AI, it only writes the part that’s actually yours: faster, cheaper, and far less to review.
Tokens to build one CRUD feature
Create, view, edit, and delete one type of record. Each square is 2,500 tokens.
60 to 800× fewer tokens.
Less code to write
Catalyst handles the plumbing, so the AI writes only your business logic. Smaller changes are quicker to make, cheaper to run, and easier for our engineers to check.
Features come baked in
Roles and permissions, exports, history, and the rest are already part of Catalyst. The AI doesn’t rebuild them, so it can’t get them wrong.
That’s why a week is enough
It’s how we can promise an entire, scalable platform in five days, not a prototype you’ll need to rebuild later.

Next: prompt a prototype platform.
Over the next 6 to 12 months, we’re making Catalyst the world’s most effective promptable framework. Describe the feature or tool you need, and Catalyst delivers it on the same tested building blocks, so it scales like everything else on your platform.
Add a leave-approval flow where managers sign off on requests. Built from: Forms, Status flows, Roles and permissions, History.
Built from Catalyst’s blocks
- Forms
- Status flows
- Roles and permissions
- Tables and exports
- File storage
- Inbox
- History
- Custom Methods
- Today
Our engineers build with AI on Catalyst
A fraction of the tokens, and whole platforms in a week.

Your team prompts features and tools
Ask for what you need, right inside your platform.
- In 6 to 12 months
The world’s most effective promptable framework
Anything you prompt, delivered in a way that scales.
Start from platform #201.
