One chatbot, or a whole team?
Most AI coding tools give you one assistant in a chat box. Tendril gives you a team of AI workers building different parts of your app at the same time, on a visual board you can watch.
Tendril vs Devin
The autonomous AI engineer
Devin takes a task and runs with it on its own. Tendril runs a whole team in parallel on a visual board, remembers what you built before, and lets you sign in with the AI plan you already pay for.
Tendril vs Cursor
The AI code editor
Cursor is a fantastic AI editor, and it's still one assistant helping you in one place. Tendril puts a team of AI workers on the job at once, each building a different part of your app, while it remembers the patterns from everything you've built before.
Tendril vs GitHub Copilot
AI code suggestions
Copilot is brilliant at suggesting the next line while you type. Tendril builds the whole thing: it breaks your idea into pieces, hands each one to an AI worker, checks the work, and shows you every change before it's saved.
