Why developers are switching

Locked into single Claude model and capabilities

Use best model for each task, merge results

Basic file discovery without architectural understanding

AI-powered dependency mapping and context building

Limited session persistence and replay

Rich terminal recording with searchable playback

Feature	PlanToCode	Single Claude session only
Plan Merging	Combine plans from multiple AI models	Single Claude session only
File Discovery	Enhanced dependency mapping	Basic file system awareness
Session Recording	Rich terminal recording with playback	Text-based conversation log
Model Selection	Switch between Claude, GPT-4, others	Anthropic Claude models (e.g., Sonnet 4, Opus 4.1); not multi-provider
Voice Integration	Voice input with transcription	Text input only

Compare single vs multi-model approaches

Show enhanced file discovery

Demonstrate session recording benefits

Highlight voice integration features

Hierarchical folder selection, pattern filtering, and AI relevance assessment

Generate multiple implementation approaches using different AI models, then synthesize the best solution

OpenAI GPT‑5 family (GPT‑5 and GPT‑5 Thinking/Pro), historical o‑series (e.g., o3 variants); Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1; Google Gemini 2.5 Pro - availability and features vary by plan and endpoint (ChatGPT vs API).
AI architect merges best insights
Your guidance shapes the merge

Use official vendor docs to confirm features like streaming, function calling, and background mode for each model.
