Fabro replaces the prompt-wait-review loop with version-controlled workflow graphs that orchestrate AI agents, shell commands, and human decisions into repeatable, long-horizon coding processes.
## Use cases
- **Extend disengagement time** — Stop babysitting an agent REPL. Define a workflow with verification gates and walk away — Fabro keeps the process on track without you.
- **Leverage ensemble intelligence** — Seamlessly combine models from different vendors. Use one model to implement, another to cross-critique, and a third to summarize — all in a single workflow.
- **Share best practices across your team** — Collaborate on version-controlled workflows that encode your software processes as code. Review, iterate, and reuse them like any other source file.
- **Reduce token bills** — Route cheap tasks to fast, inexpensive models and reserve frontier models for the steps that need them. CSS-like stylesheets make this a one-line change.
- **Improve agent security** — Run agents in cloud sandboxes with full network and filesystem isolation. Keep untrusted code off your laptop and out of your production environment.
- **Run agents 24/7 at scale** — Fabro's API server queues and executes runs continuously in cloud sandboxes. Close your laptop — workflows keep running across as many concurrent runs as your infrastructure allows.
- **Guarantee code quality** — Layer deterministic verifications — test suites, linters, type checkers, LLM-as-judge — into your workflow graph. Failures trigger fix loops automatically.
- **Achieve compounding engineering** — Automatic retrospectives after every run feed a continuous improvement loop. Your workflows get better over time, not just your code.
- **Specify in natural language** — Define requirements as natural-language specs and let Fabro generate — and regenerate — implementations that conform to them.
