CATO attaches to the agent sessions you already run — Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, tmux, remote servers — and gives you one continuous voice conversation to brief, steer, approve, and govern all of them. It puts a screen in front of you only when your judgment actually needs one.
Built to attach to the stack you already run — no migration, no lock-in.
Autonomous work now scales faster than any human can watch through terminals, dashboards, and chat windows. The industry's answer is more screens.
Every new session is another window to watch, another approval to catch, another context to hold in your head. CATO's answer is the opposite: many concurrent agent systems collapsed into one continuous voice-and-visual command channel — so a single operator can direct more work than a room of monitors could ever show.
A project starts read-only and earns capability as you trust it — from observing to steering to approving production. The channel never breaks between steps.
The local Bridge discovers your projects, runtimes, terminals, and live sessions. No migration, no Docker required.
One command center shows every session, its runtime and adapter, agent lineage, changed files, artifacts, and pending approvals.
Say the wake word and get a prioritized executive summary — what shipped, what's blocked, what's waiting on you, what's high-risk.
“CATO — where do things stand?”Route a spoken instruction to the exact organization → project → runtime → session → agent. No window-hunting.
“Tell the frontend session to cut motion 30% and verify mobile Safari.”When visual context materially improves your judgment, CATO opens a secure, signed, short-lived localhost preview over an outbound tunnel.
Leave the screen. The same authenticated session continues through your headphones, interrupting only at thresholds you set.
Approve staging, deny production. Elevated actions demand explicit authorization, and every command and result is timestamped and attributable.
Each capability is opt-in. CATO only ever offers controls the connected runtime can actually perform.
Voice and vision share the same authenticated session — same state, same active-agent graph, same approvals and transcripts. You never re-establish context switching between them.
Voice is the persistent control channel. Briefing, steering, interrupting, approving, governing — all of it runs while you walk, commute, or think, with your hands and eyes free for anything else.
Visual previews appear automatically — and only — when something spatial, graphical, or high-risk genuinely needs your eyes. The screen is an exception you earn, not a tax you pay all day.
CATO is not another agent, not a sandbox, not a remote desktop, not a credential proxy, and never an unrestricted remote shell. The trust model is the product.
Keep your repos, terminals, servers, subscriptions, and workflows. CATO connects to them where they already live.
Provider auth stays inside your first-party clients. CATO never stores your Claude or OpenAI passwords or subscription credentials.
The cloud may request an action; your local Bridge independently enforces permissions and can deny any command.
The Bridge initiates encrypted outbound connections. No inbound ports, no public shell, no listening service on your machine.
Every instruction, approval, denial, preview, and handoff is timestamped and attributable. Nothing happens off the log.
Native processes, containers, remote servers, multiplexers, and an optional CATO sandbox are all first-class citizens.
CATO is in early access for operators running multiple concurrent agent sessions. Tell us what you run today and we'll get you a Bridge.
