In this introduction, you’ll learn what Caddey is, how it works, and the key concepts that form the foundation of the platform.

What is Caddey?

Caddey is a platform that transforms app features into executable tools for your AI assistant. Whether you're using ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, or a custom AI assistant, Caddey enables seamless integration and empowers your AI to take real actions—like scheduling meetings, automating workflows, or fetching data from your favorite apps.

With Caddey, you can:

• Connect your apps: Use OpenAPI specifications to add app features.
• Create tools: Automatically generate tools (e.g., "Send Email," "Fetch Data") from connected apps.
• Build toolboxes: Group tools into reusable sets for specific workflows.
• Empower AI assistants: Allow your AI to search, discover, and execute tools securely.

Key concepts

Here are the core concepts you’ll encounter while using Caddey:

• Apps: External services (like Google Calendar, SharePoint, or Zendesk) that you connect to Caddey.
• Tools: Individual operations (e.g., “Send Email,” “Create Task”) extracted from apps for use by your AI assistant.
• Toolboxes: Groups of tools combined into workflows tailored to your needs (e.g., a "Customer Support" toolbox).
• AI assistants: Models like ChatGPT or Co-Pilot that execute tools through Caddey.
• Security: Caddey ensures your app credentials remain secure, and tools are executed safely.

How Caddey works

Caddey simplifies the process of turning app features into actionable tools for your AI. Here’s a high-level overview:

1. Connect an app: Upload an OpenAPI spec, and Caddey identifies its capabilities.
2. Generate tools: Tools are automatically extracted and configured for use.
3. Build toolboxes: Combine tools from multiple apps into reusable groups.
4. Integrate AI: Use the Caddey API to enable your AI assistant to discover and execute tools.
