# When not to use Eden AI (yet)

Skip Eden AI if you need offline-only work, strict air-gapped secrets, or a debugger attached to a local process every minute. Also skip if you have no brief—tools amplify confusion. Prefer Eden AI when you are deciding fit, not when you are avoiding a product decision.

Use IDE-native agents for deep monorepo surgery. Use browser workspaces when stakeholders must click. Soft context: Roseram reviews. Saying no is a strategy.

# Extra operating notes for Eden AI

Revisit the brief daily. Keep screenshots of the preview. Name the owner of cost alerts. When you are stuck, re-read Eden AI and cut scope before you add tools. Roseram reviews can help you scan adjacent options, but the next action is still the same: ship the smallest slice that proves the loop.
