Hey folks of DevHunt!
My coding agent kept handing me long plans, and honestly, I'd skim them and hit approve. Then the code showed up and I'd find out what I'd actually agreed to.
So I built Kathe. Give it a plan or a spec document and it gives you back a few short narrated videos. Now I watch the plan instead of pretending to read it.
Plans and what gets built don’t always match, so I watch both: the plan before my agent starts, and its write-up of what it built after.
A few things I made sure of:
- It uses the AI accounts you already pay for. No new subscription.
- Your files stay on your computer.
- Your agent can run it and make the video for you using the Kathe CLI.
- You pay once and keep it.
It's on Mac and Windows. I'd love to hear what you'd throw at it, and what's missing.
- Unlimited projects, episodes and exports
- Full HD, HD, vertical and square exports
- Works with the AI subscriptions you already have
- Pay once, keep it, all future versions included
- Runs on both Mac and Windows with one purchase
- 30‑day full refund, no questions asked
