UBL allows you to write Prolog-like code directly inside C++. The current
Prolog is modeled directly to the Prolog standard. So IMHO your question is
equivalent to

"what kind of real problems can I solve better/more easily/more expressively
with Prolog than with approaches we already have available in C++?"

Prolog is the preferred language in the field of AI, expert systems,
business logics, etc. There are lots of discussions about why Prolog is
better in those areas than traditional procedure-oriented or object-oriented
languages. I don't think that I can cover the reasons in just a few
paragraph.
