Cate – open-source canvas IDE for agentic coding workflows

Cate is an open-source, canvas-based IDE designed for developers to visually orchestrate and manage agentic coding workflows, allowing them to map out, execute, and iterate on multi-step AI-driven code generation tasks. It targets developers and teams building complex, AI-assisted software projects who need more control and transparency than a simple chat interface provides. Its interest lies in bridging the gap between visual programming and autonomous AI agents, offering a structured, debuggable environment for collaborative human-AI coding.
