I actually agree with you.

The whole point of Mato is to make human-in-the-loop supervision easier, not to encourage autonomous loops.

In my daily workflow I constantly run multiple coding agents at the same time. The annoying part isn’t the AI itself — it’s switching between tabs, terminals, and different tools just to check what each agent is doing.

I built Mato mainly because I wanted a faster way to jump between agents, review their outputs, and approve or intervene when needed. Think of it more like tmux for AI workers, where a human manager can oversee multiple agents at once.

Personally I’m also skeptical of fully self-driving loops. In practice the plan → execute → review cycle with a human in the loop is still the most reliable way to work with AI today.
