## Long (~95 words)

Chris Bolton is the founder of Crystl, a multitasking terminal for AI coding agents. He
builds it solo, alongside Diviner — his own marketing and development consultancy in
Portland, Oregon. Before going independent, Chris was Executive Web Director at Murmur
Creative. He started Crystl after noticing that the hard part of working with coding
agents wasn't the agents themselves but keeping track of many at once — approvals
flying past, tabs everywhere. His guiding idea: you don't need to learn how to use Crystl,
because an agent launched inside it already knows and will operate it for you — so all you
really need to know is *what's possible*. That premise is what led to features like the
Book of Spells.
