Who should use
Buyer-fit is derived from approved personas and use-case evidence. Search-volume noise stays labeled separately.
Best-fit workflows
- Runs a refactor and a bug fix in parallel on separate git branches
- Drafts code changes with a local model served through Ollama or LM Studio
- Clicks through a desktop app inside a separate Docker desktop without taking over your screen
- Loads project rules from an AGENTS.md file and SKILL.md skills before editing code
- Connects an MCP server to a coding chat to pull in outside data
- Mac developers who need several coding tasks running at once, because each chat gets its own branch and parallel subagents get separate worktrees
