What people use Uai for.

Four scenarios where "one chat at a time" stops paying its rent and a board of parallel tasks does.

The refactor sprint

You've been meaning to clean up the same shape across ten files. Each change is small but the context-switch tax is real, and the diff is too big to review as one PR.

With Uai:

Without Uai: open the same file ten times, chat ten times, manually keep the conversations from mixing, push ten branches.

A board of parallel tasks running at once, each in its own container and worktree.

The multi-repo migration

You're adding a field that touches the API, the web client, and the mobile app. One task, three repos, one shared mission.

With Uai:

Without Uai: three terminals, three branch names to remember, the constant low-grade panic that the API change and the client change drift apart.

One task spanning three repos — each in its own git worktree on the same task branch.

The frontend redesign with live preview

You're iterating on the homepage. The designer wants to see each attempt without you booking time on a call.

With Uai:

  • One task per direction you want to try. Each has its own preview URL (<taskId>-web.preview.runuai.com).
  • Share the URLs in Slack. The designer reviews on their phone, gives feedback per option, no environment juggling.
  • The winners get refined in their own task; the losers get closed and the worktrees vanish.

Without Uai: three branches, one dev server, mentally swap which branch is checked out before each screen-share. A new vercel deploy per variation if you have the patience.

A task's live preview URLs on a phone — public, cookie-free links to share with a designer.

The bug-backlog Saturday

Twenty open issues, most of them small. A free morning. You don't want to babysit any single one.

With Uai:

Without Uai: one chat, one context, twenty serial conversations. Sunday tomorrow.

An issue list turned into a backlog of task drafts — one per issue, each awaiting Start.

Which one is your Saturday?

Pick a backlog, point a crew at it, and let the parallel tasks run while you review the diffs.
