Would you use a CLI tool that turns English into local automation workflows?

The question everyone is wondering, "Why not just use Claude Code?"

  Claude Code is an interactive coding assistant. Viba is an automation runtime. You wouldn't use Claude Code to run a cron job at 3am or watch a directory for new files.
  Viba compiles your intent into a persistent and versioned workflow that runs unattended with triggers, retries, and history... more like a local first, AI-configured n8n than a coding agent.

    I wouldn't use anything besides cron to do that. The point is I can ask Ai to write that for me, looks exactly like your example.
