Why do your coding agents
still feel inefficient?

Agents always start from scratch

Hundreds of hours lost re-prompting, re-specifying rules and context for each new session.

Knowledge stuck in one project or IDE

Lose all your coding context when switching projects, tools, or environments.

Agents don't learn from each other

Valuable learnings get lost; your team's agents keep making the same mistakes, again and again.

Now, with Cipher
all of that changes
