AsyncPair is an async pair-programming tool for developers separated by time zones. When teammates are never online together, the handoff between them becomes the bottleneck —a git commit shows what changed but never why, and a question sent at midnight waits a full day for an answer. AsyncPair fixes the handoff. When you finish a session, the asyncpair CLI reads your git activity and asks two quick questions, turning your work into a structured handoff with predicted scenarios — the situations the next developer is most likely to hit, each with a suggested approach. Your teammate picks it up and starts from where you stopped, not from zero. When they hit something the handoff didn't cover, they ask an AI stand-in. For questions the handoff answers, it replies with your reasoning. For the ones it doesn't, the stand-in looks at how you've solved similar problems across your other repositories and answers in your style — so the pair never breaks, even though one of you is always asleep. AsyncPair was built with IBM Bob as the core development partner: Bob planned the architecture and implemented the handoff engine, the git and LLM adapters, and the web app across multiple stages. Every Bob session is exported in the repository's bob_sessions/ folder
