When NOT to use dmux
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If you are looking for a tool that directly enhances the functionality of individual AI coding assistants rather than orchestrating multiple assistants, dmux may not meet your needs.
- In scenarios where developers prefer manual management of their workflows without relying on an automated agentic multiplexer like dmux.
