AI agents can now write 99% of the code. This changes what it means to be a developer. Our role shifts to knowing what good looks like. To do that, we need completely new developer tools. Tendril is that tool and replaces your IDE in an agentic era.
|
Run agents in isolated git worktrees. Keep your main branch clean until you review, approve, and merge changes. |
|
|
Expose your server securely using Cloudflare Quick Tunnels to monitor and steer agent runs from anywhere. |
|
|
Dictate prompts using built-in Whisper voice input and attach text files, logs, or documents with drag-and-drop. |
|
|
Annotate drafts inline to automatically update plans with revised agent goals. |
|
|
Review agent changes, inspect diffs, and approve code with automated verification gates. |
|
|
Ingest GitHub Issues or jam.dev bug reports via webhooks to turn markdown plans into active jobs automatically. |
|
Works with any CLI agent: if it runs in a terminal, it runs in Tendril.
