Seems like 80% of agent use boils down to: grep | sed -i
Which is kind of cool if you’re unaware enough to know to do it yourself.
Oh, and find. Agents use find a lot.

So it turns out that a lot of these unix utilities have such bad UX that having a tool that knows how to really leverage them feels like a superpower.
If you've ever used an LLM to deal with ffmpeg you'll know exactly what I mean.
It is incredibly difficult to make an UX that can beat simply typing what you need in your own words.
You think of what you need, and you type it. No need to even ask “what options should I use?”
Pi even installs ripgrep and fd if it can't find them in the path.
