# 4 Years Later: Why Caritas Still Bets on React-admin in the Age of AI Agents

**[marmelab](https://daily.dev/sources/Marmelab)** · 6 min read · 4 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Four years after adopting react-admin, Caritas's CariNet platform now serves 65,000 users across Germany. Product Owner Cornelius Wichmann shares how the framework enabled a non-CS-background developer to build production-quality features, how TanStack Query-based caching improved perceived performance, and how AI agents (via OpenCode, Claude, and Context7 MCP) have become part of the development workflow. Caritas is now rolling out AI features including a RAG-powered chat assistant and AI-assisted editor actions, with plans to expand the hub concept and migrate identity management for 13,000 associations.
