Why modern AI workflows need more than Unix recording tools

$5 free credits β€’ Pay-as-you-go β€’ Works with your existing tools

Why developers are switching

tmux sessions die, lose all context
SQLite persistence survives crashes
asciinema recordings lack built-in full-text search across contents
Full-text search across all sessions
script output is just raw text
Rich UI with timestamps and metadata

Technical implementation

Intelligent File Discovery

Hierarchical folder selection, pattern filtering, and AI relevance assessment

  • Root folder selection based on task
  • Targeted regex pattern groups
  • LLM analyzes actual file contents
  • Automatic dependency detection
  • Files organized into XML for LLM consumption

Multi-Model Planning

Generate multiple implementation approaches using different AI models, then synthesize the best solution

  • OpenAI GPT‑5 family (GPT‑5 and GPT‑5 Thinking/Pro), historical o‑series (e.g., o3 variants); Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1; Google Gemini 2.5 Pro β€” availability and features vary by plan and endpoint (ChatGPT vs API).
  • AI architect merges best insights
  • Your guidance shapes the merge

Use official vendor docs to confirm features like streaming, function calling, and background mode for each model.
