Product Hunt Hung Phan
pmtui just launched on Product Hunt to manage multiple coding agents. It rebuilds the prompt each time, so long jobs don’t drift off course.

pmtui is a new Product Hunt launch aimed at people juggling more than one AI coding agent at once. The pitch is simple enough: keep long-horizon work from wandering. That’s the whole problem the tool is built around.
The project takes a different route from the usual agent loop. Instead of letting the loop run and hoping it stays on track, pmtui keeps the loop outside the agent. Each pass rebuilds the prompt from your goal and the agent’s latest status, which is a neat way to force the system to remember what it’s actually supposed to be doing.
That matters most when the work stretches on. Autopilot-style agent loops can drift once a task gets long, and pmtui is trying to catch that before it turns into a mess. Users decide how often the tool should check back, so the cadence isn’t baked in.
The product page frames it as a way to surface only what needs attention. That’s a quieter promise than the usual AI fanfare, and probably a healthier one. No grand claims, just a utility for staying on top of multiple agents without babysitting every step.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the right instinct: less magic, more control. The AI tools that pretend every loop should run forever are usually the ones that need the most supervision, which is a lovely little joke. Open, inspectable workflows keep beating black-box bravado, especially when the job is boringly important.
