Why Tendril

Built Different. By Design.

Tendril isn't another chat window — it runs your whole project. AI agents that remember your codebase, a task board that updates itself, and your code that stays local by default.

50%lower planning costs
76%less redundant work
98%fewer discovery calls

Knowledge Graph that compounds

Tendril indexes your codebase and remembers decisions, patterns, and mistakes across every project you build. Lessons learned in one project prime planning in the next. Build five projects, and the sixth starts with the lessons of all five baked in — without writing a single prompt about them.

Multi-agent execution, in parallel

A master agent proposes a plan you review and edit. After approval, parallel sub-agents work different files simultaneously in isolated git worktrees. Capped only by your machine and your provider rate limits — no artificial throttle.

Kanban that fills itself

Backlog → In Progress → Done as agents work. Priority-based scheduling runs P1 first, then P2 in parallel, then P3. You watch what's happening; you're not constantly approving sub-decisions.

Live preview + annotation fix-flow

See your app render in a live iframe inside Tendril. Draw circles, arrows, and notes on the preview, type a comment, send it. Agents read your annotations directly and the fix lands as a card on the same kanban. The fastest "this looks wrong" → "this is fixed" loop in any AI dev tool.

Bring Your Own API Key

Use Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Or pass through your existing Claude Code subscription for one flat fee instead of per-token charges. AI costs go directly from your machine to the provider — Tendril never marks up compute.

Audit that catches what you would

Every finished project ends with an auto-scored audit and gap-fill retries on below-threshold work. A senior-level final review produces the project score, summary, and clickable improvement suggestions — fix cards that spawn agents to do the work with one click. Plus injection detection, scope enforcement, and command blocking under the hood.

Tendril Kanban board with AI-assigned task cards

AI Task Board

Your Kanban board fills itself. Tasks flow from Backlog → In Progress → Done as AI agents work. Priority scheduling runs P1 first, then P2/P3 in parallel.

Tendril security panel blocking an injection attempt

Security Monitoring

35 injection patterns detected in real-time. Scope enforcement, command blocking, and budget caps keep agents safe. Every action is logged and auditable.

Tendril quality audit scores on subtasks

Quality Audits

Pro

Every subtask is quality-scored by a senior-level AI reviewer. Critical issues are auto-fixed before code ships. Nothing ships without passing audit.

Tendril plan review interface showing subtask approval

Plan Review

Review AI-generated plans before a single line of code is written. Approve, reject, or edit any subtask. You stay in control of the architecture.

Tendril parallel agent execution on the Kanban board

Parallel Agents

Multiple AI agents work simultaneously on different subtasks. P1 tasks run first, then P2 and P3 in parallel. Hardware and API keys are the only limits.

Pro features marked above require a Pro subscription.
