Usecases
See how indie devs, solo founders, and PMs use Zyvia to plan, build, and ship—without the overhead.
Who uses Zyvia
Indie devs and solo founders
One place to research, break ideas into tasks, and ship—without a project manager or meetings. The agent helps you plan and create so you stay in flow instead of switching tabs.
Key features:
- Quick setup: one workspace, one team for yourself—start in minutes
- Research and Plan agents: go from idea to actionable tasks in chat
- Cursor integration: load task context by ID (e.g. "Fix ENG-123") in your editor
- Free tier includes everything you need; no credit card required
Example:
A solo founder uses Zyvia to capture ideas, create tasks from chat, and plan the week. They use Cursor to pull task context while coding—no PM, no standups.
PMs (solo or small-team)
Run your backlog and roadmap without a big org. You're the PM and often the doer—Zyvia keeps tasks, scope, and context in one place so you can plan and execute without overhead.
Key features:
- Plan agent: suggest scope and workload; apply changes from the action dock
- One workspace for backlog, boards, and workflow—no tool sprawl
- Mutate agent: create and update tasks from chat when you're wearing multiple hats
- Templates and workflow statuses that match how you actually work
Example:
A PM of a small product uses one team per area, plans work with the Plan agent, and creates tasks from chat. They track progress on boards and keep stakeholders aligned without extra meetings.
Developers who want task context in flow
Connect tasks to GitHub PRs, load task context in Cursor by ID, and plan work in one backlog. One place for bugs, features, and technical debt—with AI that understands your codebase.
Key features:
- GitHub integration: link tasks to PRs and index repos for AI context
- Cursor integration: say "Fix ENG-123" and get full task context in your editor
- Plan agent for workload and scope; Default agent to list and triage
- Track bugs, features, and tech debt in one backlog
Example:
An indie dev links tasks to GitHub PRs, uses Cursor to load task context while coding, and plans work from chat. No Jira, no separate PM tool.
Freelancers and client work
Use one team per client or project, templates for consistent structure. Keep client work organized and visible without juggling multiple tools.
Key features:
- Teams per client with custom workflow and statuses
- Templates for proposals, deliverables, or standard task types
- One workspace—add more teams as you add clients
Example:
A freelancer creates a team per client, uses templates for recurring work, and tracks progress on boards. The agent helps create and plan tasks from chat.
Anyone who wants AI-native planning
Tired of spreadsheets and scattered tools? One conversation-first workspace where the agent helps list, create, and plan. Chat in plain language—no learning another UI.
Key features:
- Chat-first: ask in plain language, get results
- Four agents: Default, Mutate, Research, Plan
- Action dock: review and apply changes before they're created
- Your data stays yours—we don't train on your content
Example:
You switch from spreadsheets and multiple apps to Zyvia. Chat to list work, create tasks, and plan scope—all in one place, solo or with a small team.
Common scenarios
Planning work
Use the Plan agent to suggest scope based on workload and capacity. Review the plan, adjust if needed, then apply from the action dock. Track progress with workflow statuses.
Creating tasks from chat
On Pro, ask the Mutate agent: "Create a task: Fix login bug, high priority, in Team Alpha." Review the suggested details, confirm, and the task is created in your workspace.
Checking status
Ask the Default agent: "What's in progress?" or "Show my high-priority tasks." Get live data from your workspace without leaving chat.
Organizing work
Create teams for initiatives, add tasks to backlogs. Use workflow statuses to see what's in progress and what's blocked.
