Grass RUNS Tasks on Grass Computer or your own machine - while your laptop is closed, while you're in a meeting, or while you're away from your desk. No terminal to watch. No session to babysit. Grass MOVES Send a coding session to Grass and keep the thread moving on a remote instance — conversation, context, and all. Your phone buzzes when it's live.
