💼 Alexis said last February: ‘This is the year of Agent orchestration’: I couldn’t agree more with him! If 2025 was the year of the AI agent, 2026 is definitely the year of… AI Agents!

If you read 🪨 Part 1 of this series , you know my confession: I’m a CLI guy (or cleek as I like to call myself). I don’t do UIs. But when I tried to orchestrate a team of parallel subagents to build a simple clock game (  orologia.io ), my terminal babysitting workflow completely broke down. Juggling tmux panes, file checkouts, and Apple Stickies stuck to terminal windows to track active runs was a cognitive nightmare.

I’m a command-line guy. If it doesn’t run in a 🖥️ terminal or get driven by a bash script, I usually avoid it. For years, my daily workflow revolved around gemini-cli, and recently the newer antigravity-cli (agy). I avoided desktop apps and GUI tools like the plague (with the only exception of vscode); a friend calls people like me BashOps — the opposite of the perfectly reasonable ClickOps folks who prefer GUIs.

But recently, I hit a wall.
