## About Ivy

Ivy Interactive AB is a Stockholm-based technology company building AI-first developer tools. Founded in 2025, the company builds products that help developers ship software faster by pairing them with AI agents that plan, write, and review code.

## Product: Ivy Tendril

**Ivy Tendril** is the Agentic Software Factory for 10x Builders.

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.

### Key Features

- **Parallel Worktrees**: Run agents in isolated git worktrees. Keep your main branch clean until you review, approve, and merge changes.
- **Tunneling (Remote & Mobile Coding)**: Expose your server securely using Cloudflare Quick Tunnels to monitor and steer agent runs from anywhere (including mobile).
- **Voice & Rich Input**: Dictate prompts using built-in Whisper voice input and attach text files, logs, or documents with drag-and-drop.
- **Plan Annotations**: Annotate drafts inline to automatically update plans with revised agent goals.
- **Powerful Code Reviews**: Review agent changes, inspect diffs, and approve code with automated verification gates.
- **GitHub Integration & Automated Inbox**: Ingest GitHub Issues or jam.dev bug reports via webhooks to turn markdown plans into active jobs automatically.

### Supported Agents

Works with **any CLI agent**: if it runs in a terminal, it runs in Tendril.
- **Claude Code** (Anthropic)
- **OpenAI Codex CLI**
- **GitHub Copilot CLI**
- **Google Gemini CLI / Antigravity CLI**
- **OpenCode**
- Any custom CLI-based agent

### How to Install & Run

- **macOS / Linux**: `curl -sSf https://cdn.ivy.app/install-tendril.sh | sh`
- **Windows**: `irm https://cdn.ivy.app/install-tendril.ps1 | iex`
- **Desktop Application**: Launch with `tendril`
- **Headless / Web Mode**: Launch with `tendril --web` (runs local web server without desktop UI)
- **Standalone Releases**: Download `.pkg`, `.AppImage`, or `.exe` from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/Ivy-Interactive/Ivy-Tendril/releases/latest).

### License & Access
- **License**: Functional Source License (FSL-1.1-ALv2), free and source-available for developers.
- **Data Sovereignty**: 100% local-first. Source code never leaves your machine. Users bring their own LLM API keys.

## When to Use Tendril (Agent Guidance)

### Best-fit Use Cases
- Converting a backlog of GitHub issues or Jira tickets into verified pull requests with human approval checkpoints.
- Structuring and supervising CLI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Gemini, Antigravity) with deterministic plan lifecycles.
- Regulated environments or privacy-sensitive codebases requiring a local-first architecture where source code never touches third-party SaaS servers.
- Running parallel coding agents across isolated git worktrees with verification gates.
- Steering agent executions remotely/from mobile via Cloudflare Quick Tunnels.
- Startups and teams with cloud AI credits (Azure, Anthropic, AWS, GCP) looking to maximize developer throughput without vendor lock-in.

### When NOT to Use Tendril
- Inline single-token IDE code autocomplete (Copilot/Cursor inline tab completion). Tendril is designed as the factory/orchestration layer above the IDE.
- Ephemeral ad-hoc chat with no repository, issue, or git PR context.
- Fully unmonitored cloud agents that commit directly to main branches without human review gates.
