Catalyst by Zoho Solves The Shortfalls of Moving from Coding to Production With an Agent-Ready, Full-Stack Cloud and Built-In Governance

Business Wire

New agentic capabilities bring application development, infrastructure and governance into one integrated lifecycle, enhancing accuracy and security while reducing token costs

AUSTIN, Texas, September 02, 2026--Zoho Corporation, a global technology company, today announced major enhancements to Catalyst by Zoho, its Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), now weaving agentic development capabilities directly into the coding environments developers already use. Additions include Agent Skills, a non-interactive command-line interface (CLI), and Model Context Protocol (MCP) support to Catalyst's platform, along with new integrations for agentic AI coding assistants including Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex.

Designed for system integrators and software firms building complex solutions as well as indie developers looking to move from prototype to productions without managing infrastructure themselves, Catalyst by Zoho is additionally now offering a free student program that includes full-stack hosting, functions, database, and AI tooling to enhance accessibility and empower future developers.

The platform bridges the gap between code generation and reliable deployment by giving agentic AI coding assistants a structured, deterministic way to build and deploy applications. Developers can use the AI coding assistants of their choice while Catalyst provides the underlying full-stack serverless infrastructure and controls, eliminating the need to stitch together multiple cloud services and vendors. This approach simplifies development and future iterations while reducing operational complexity, positioning Catalyst as a reliable partner as technical capabilities and customer needs evolve.

"By delivering an agent-ready, serverless full-stack platform, Catalyst gives developers and AI agents complete cloud independence to build, deploy, and scale intelligent applications, with far less operational overhead," said Anand Nergunam, Vice President, Revenue Growth at Zoho. "Additionally, to democratize access we are launching a free student tier, freeing students from the burden of traditional development cycles so they can thrive in a rapidly shifting landscape."

Turning AI-Generated Code Into Production-Ready Applications

AI coding assistants can generate code quickly, but getting it to production requires deep platform knowledge, cloud services, and deployment workflows. Catalyst brings these together on a single serverless full-stack cloud, offering AI coding assistants what they need to build, test, and deploy applications. These capabilities make this possible:
