Operators running multiple agents who need real coordination -- an indie hacker running a content shop, a small team testing autonomous-biz concepts, or anyone whose 'I'll just open another Claude Code tab' workflow has hit the wall. The org-chart framing is a huge upgrade if you have 5+ agents already.

Engineering teams already using Augment Code's Auggie or running mixed Claude-Code + Codex workflows who want higher-level orchestration than writing LangGraph graphs from scratch. Also teams that want git-worktree-isolated parallel agent work with a verifier in the loop.
