Why a terminal designed around running multiple AI agents simultaneously is worth paying attention to.
Running multiple AI agents in parallel means running multiple branches in parallel. Git worktrees are how you do that without thrashing your working directory.
Both run AI agents in your terminal. Both support Claude. The differences are in architecture, openness, and what you can configure.
AI coding agents don't have memory. They have context windows. Understanding the difference changes how you work with them.
Most developers use AI coding assistants as fancy autocomplete. The ones getting 10x more out of them understand the difference between rules, commands, and skills — and use all three deliberately.
