What sets Korden apart
Across every comparison, four things stay constant.
- Local-first — your code runs and stays on your machine.
- Bring your own model — no bundled model, no second AI bill.
- A parallel crew — Director, Scout, Builder, Reviewer, Tester, not one agent.
- A review gate — every change is a pull request you approve and merge.
