No lock-in
Provider preferences change quarterly. Switch without losing your conversation history or rebuilding your tool integrations.
Use case · startups
Use the CLI in CI, the Desktop app for hard problems, and the Chrome side panel for inbox and docs. Cloud app chats follow the signed-in account where supported; CLI and VS Code developer sessions remain workspace-scoped. Provider spend stays under your control through your own keys on Desktop, CLI, and VS Code.

agi exec works as a Unix tool. Pipe a task in, get structured output back, in GitHub Actions or anywhere a shell runs.
