Handoffs you can see
Ask for something outside an agent's area and it can hand that part to the right agent. Each handoff shows as a card with both agents and its status, and Stop ends handoffs in that conversation.
Solutions · Team AI orchestration
Your people and your agents, working from one specification.
Catalio gives your team and five role-based agents the same living specification of each application, so requirements, design, testing, and changes all start from what was agreed.
For engineering and product leaders running teams of AI agents
One shared spec → people and agents
Agents are only as good as the context they work from.
When every person and every agent works from a private copy of what the system does, nobody can say what was agreed. The work gets done, but it drifts from the rules the business actually runs on.
Shared
One living specification your team confirms
Roles
Five agents, each writing only in its own area
Control
Approve or Deny before destructive changes
Five agents. One catalog. Clear lanes.
Product Manager, Architect, QA Analyst, Security Analyst, and DevOps all read your catalog. Each creates or changes records only in the areas its role is allowed to write. Open any agent's profile from the chat header.
Same spec in the IDE
Developers add Catalio as a remote MCP server in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible client and work from the same specification without leaving their editor.
Give agents the right context, then keep people in control
Context comes from your catalog and your team's knowledge. Destructive changes wait for a person.
1
Ground
Type @ to add a requirement, feature, application, component, or initiative to the conversation. The agent keeps it in mind for the rest of the conversation.
2
Inform
Each agent has a Knowledge tab: Org notes and docs your admins maintain, and Mine for notes only you and the agent see.
3
Approve
Before an agent deletes, unlinks, merges, rewrites PRD sections, or runs a server tool not marked read-only or non-destructive, it asks. You click Approve or Deny.
From requirements to verified behavior
The same specification carries through gathering requirements, building, and proving what ships behaves as intended.
Gather requirements
Extract reads your code, documents, and conversations and drafts the specification. Nothing is final until someone on your team reviews it.
Verify behavior
Link test cases to requirements and record each run as Passed, Failed, Skipped, or Blocked, so you can see which requirements have been verified.
Ad hoc AI agents vs. Catalio
What changes when agents share your team's specification instead of each starting cold.
| Category | Traditional | Catalio |
|---|---|---|
| Context | Pasted into each prompt, different every time | Living catalog plus @-added records and Agent Knowledge |
| Scope | Agents often share broad access | Each agent writes only in its role's areas |
| Cross-role work | You copy output between tools | Agent-started handoffs shown as status cards |
| Destructive changes | Discovered after the fact | Approve or Deny before they run |
| Tools | One-off integrations per tool | Admin-added MCP servers, each member signs in |

One specification. People and agents.
Stop letting every agent work from its own copy. Keep the whole team on what was agreed.
FAQ
Questions engineering and product leaders ask
Do I assign work to agents?
No. You ask an agent for what you need. If part of it falls outside that agent's area, the agent starts a handoff to the right one and you stay in the loop. Handoffs stay within your own conversations.
Can an agent change records without asking?
Creates and updates run without asking. Deletes, link removals, merges, PRD section rewrites, and server tools not marked read-only or non-destructive ask first, and you choose Approve or Deny.
How do agents use our other tools?
An organization admin adds MCP servers in Settings → Connections, and each member signs in with their own account. Agents can then use those tools in chat.
Does this help with legacy modernization?
Yes. The same specification is how teams capture what a legacy system does and compare it with the target. See Legacy modernization docs .
