Use cases

Start with the problem in your AI development workflow.

Choose the situation that sounds like yours. Each page explains what alterac.ai changes, what you need first, and when another tool may be a better fit.

Before you choose a use case

alterac.ai works best when agents run locally and people stay in control.

These use cases are for repository-based software work. alterac.ai coordinates the work around your agents, while your team keeps the final say.

  • Your work lives in a software repository
  • Your coding agents are installed and run on your machines
  • One of the problems below is slowing down the work around your agents
  • A person still decides what gets published and accepted

Choose your use case

Which problem do you want to solve?

Start with coordinating several coding agents through separate tasks, or choose another problem below. Each page covers the part alterac.ai plays and the result you can expect. For setup steps and commands, it links to the relevant Docs guide.

  1. 01Primary use case · One place for local agent work

    Coordinate local coding-agent work

    Give each coding agent a clear task, then see active work and the next review decision across the team.

    Does this sound familiar?

    How do I coordinate several coding agents as they work through separate tasks?

    Every work stream has a visible path from task, to local agent run, to human review.

  2. 02Plan together, publish once

    Plan before agents code

    Use AI to shape related task drafts, review the full set, then publish it when it is ready for agents.

    Does this sound familiar?

    How do I plan a related set of tasks with AI before agents begin?

    Your team gets a complete, reviewed Plan and task set only after a person selects Publish.

  3. 03Context that survives each run

    Keep agent context between runs

    Keep the important task and review history with the work instead of leaving it in a chat or terminal window.

    Does this sound familiar?

    How do I stop losing task and review context between coding-agent runs?

    Reviewers and later agents can see which run did the work, what it reported, what people decided, and which context carried forward.

  4. 04A clear way to start again

    Recover when a coding agent stops

    Choose exactly how the next run should begin after an agent stops or never submits its result.

    Does this sound familiar?

    What do I do when an agent stops halfway through?

    One replacement is queued with the context you chose, and the incomplete run cannot take over the task later.

  5. 05A clear human decision

    Make coding-agent review decisions clear

    Give every submitted agent run a clear human decision and a recorded next step.

    Does this sound familiar?

    How do we make every coding-agent review end with a clear decision?

    Every submitted run ends with a recorded human decision and enough context to explain what happens next.

  6. 06Metrics with clear definitions

    Understand AI work and review time

    Understand project delivery patterns with completed work, AI work time, review time, ranges, and sample sizes.

    Does this sound familiar?

    What can we learn from completed work, AI work time, and review time?

    The team can discuss completed work, recorded AI work time, and working-hours review time using shared definitions and visible sample sizes.

Know when to choose something else

alterac.ai is not the right tool for every job.

alterac.ai does not write code, run agents in the cloud, choose an AI provider, replace a general project-management suite, or remove human review. It coordinates repository work around coding agents that you install and configure locally.

Review the coordination model

Keep people in control

Start with the workflow you want to improve.

Create a project, connect a compatible local coding-agent command, and let the people responsible for the work decide what gets published and accepted.
