Use Case 1: Delegating Complex Background Tasks

Problem: Developers lose productivity waiting for tests to run, writing boilerplate, or manually debugging infrastructure issues locally.
Solution: Developers can hand off complex tasks to Devin, the autonomous cloud agent, which runs on its own remote machine while the developer continues coding locally.
Example: A developer triggers Devin to fix a CI pipeline bug while they continue building a new UI component.

Use Case 2: Multi-File Codebase Refactoring

Problem: Refactoring an API layer or implementing new authentication workflows requires manual edits across multiple files, increasing the risk of linter errors.
Solution: Use Cascade to plan and execute multi-file changes with automatic lint detection and fixing.
Example: A developer drags a UI mockup image into Cascade to automatically generate and refactor layout files to match the design.

Use Case 3: Managing Multiple AI Coding Sessions

Problem: Keeping track of various parallel tasks, pull requests, and AI agent prompts leads to context switching and lost progress.
Solution: Organize tasks using Spaces and the Kanban-style Agent Command Center to monitor local and cloud agent progress in one dashboard.
Example: Bundling an OAuth overhaul task with its corresponding PRs, files, and active Devin sessions inside a dedicated Space.
