It is having a real conversation with a thinking model about the idea, getting it to write the spec, then handing that spec to a coding agent. Two stages, completely different jobs. https://jumpinotech.com/blog/ploi-and-ai-agentshttps://jumpinotech.com/blog/ploi-and-ai-agentsFri, 29 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe agent mints an ephemeral SSH key via the Ploi API, attaches it to the server, runs its task, and deletes the key when done.
