Every scenario needs someone to wire it.
Modules, routers and filters are quick for someone who enjoys the canvas, and a wait for everyone who doesn't.
An affordable visual builder for multi-step scenarios, built by whoever on the team likes building them.
The person who does the work describes it in chat or on a screenshare, and Caddi builds it for them.
Every scenario you wire is one more you fix.
When an app changes a field or a PDF arrives in a new layout, the scenario stops until its builder finds the broken module.
You wire each scenario, and you maintain it as the apps around it change.
Caddi maintains the automation for you, reads varied PDFs and inbox email natively, and logs every step of every run.
Back-office work can't need a babysitter.
A client onboarding or a billing check has to come out the same way on the busiest day of the month, with nobody watching the canvas.
Priced by credits, one per module action, so cost and attention both scale with the steps.
Known steps run as code the same way every time, with AI only on the steps that need judgment. 99% of agent runs complete.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Caddi and Make?
Make is a hosted visual builder: you assemble scenarios from modules on a canvas and maintain them. Caddi is automation built for the operations team: the person who does the work shows it once, Caddi builds it as deterministic code, runs it across your tools and maintains it, with every run logged and reviewable.
Is Caddi or Make better for law firms and RIAs?
If someone enjoys building scenarios and the work is app-to-app with clean data, Make is inexpensive and flexible. If the owner is not a builder and the work runs through documents and inboxes into systems like Clio, iManage or Salesforce, Caddi is usually the better fit because it is built and maintained for them.
Is Make cheaper than Caddi?
At the entry level, usually. Make has a free plan with 1,000 credits a month, and Core starts at $12 a month billed monthly. Caddi has a free Individual plan; Team is $250 per user per month. The fair comparison is total cost including the time spent building and maintaining scenarios.
Can Caddi work alongside Make?
Yes. Many teams keep simple app-to-app scenarios where they are and move the document-heavy, business-critical workflows to Caddi, where the operations team does not have to build or maintain them.
