Cost and workflow management for AI-assisted coding projects
A centralized control plane for AI coding agents that connects to providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and coding platforms, tracks usage and projected spend, enforces budgets and subscription-aware limits, schedules work across agents, maintains current project specifications and memory, and runs isolated branches or worktrees to prevent conflicts. It could also provide reusable prompt templates, task decomposition, approval gates, and alerts for runaway jobs or context drift.
The problem
Vibe coders using multiple AI coding tools struggle to control token costs, avoid exhausting subscription limits, coordinate parallel agent sessions, prevent file conflicts, and keep project context and product requirements synchronized as the app evolves. Existing tools are fragmented across providers, and poorly controlled long-running tasks can waste substantial time and money.
Who feels this pain
Teams stuck doing repetitive manual work run into this often: A centralized control plane for AI coding agents that connects to providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and coding platforms, tracks usage and projected spend, enforces budgets and subscription-aware limits, schedules work across agents, maintains current project specifications and memory, and runs isolated branches or worktrees to prevent conflicts.

Why it matters
Every hour spent on a task a computer could do is an hour not spent growing the business.
