#2Why does “patent pending” almost automatically sounds like it’s going to be an underwhelming technology.

#3Patent pending? On what?

The ed(1) command set 50 years old. I doubt it's patentable. These guys are far from the first to apply fine-grained text editing to LLM toolsets. I've been teaching models to do it for years. Hell, models want to use sed and awk so much that you have to hold them back.
I'm so repulsed by the idea that these guys think they can fence off a slice of the ancient commons, claim they discovered it, and charge $15/month to access it that I want nothing to do with them and will go to the mattresses to make sure they can't. Nobody owns text editing, not even when it's an AI doing it.
Mouse: sincerely, fuck you

#5I doubt they're the first solution to use coordinate based editing, or even the best one right now.
Eg: Check out hash-anchored editing. The first place where I recall seeing this was the oh-my-pi coding agent, but I wouldn't be surprised if the idea originated earlier/elsewhere.
I wonder whether CRDTs could be a good solution for multiple agents editing the same codebase in parallel.

#6Would've resulted in a positive response from people if you just did your work and didn't brag about your "patent pending" stuff

#7As others have said, text editing isn't patentable, and this does not have anything that is patent worthy. However I suspect this is more someone who has no clue what the difference between patent, copyright, and IP is. Was this whole thing vibe coded btw?

#8> patent-pending
Instant turn off.

#9“the most powerful AI agent file-editing tool in the world […] patent-pending”… tl;dr: turn tool calls into more structured loops, give it some fancy name and slop about it https://hic-ai.com/blog/tool-response-engineering
Good luck with that

Pretty sure this website is satire.
