Platform vs. an IDE-based assistant
Tembo
IDE-based assistant
Where work runs
Secure cloud sandboxes: agents work in the background, not just in your editor.
Assists inside the developer's local editor.
Choice of agent and model
Run Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and more on one platform, no lock-in.
Centered on its own editor experience and model options.
Human-in-the-loop review
Every task returns a PR you approve from GitHub, Slack, or Linear.
Changes are reviewed in the editor as you work.
Multi-repo coordination
One task can open coordinated PRs across multiple repositories.
Scoped to the project open in the editor.
Triggered and recurring automations
Schedule agents or trigger them from webhook and integration events.
Automation options vary by product. Check their docs.
IDE-based assistant descriptions are general and based on product category. For the latest on any other tool, see that product's own documentation.
