AI Platform

Overview

Tembo is a cloud platform designed to run AI coding agents in the background across your repositories, tickets, and integrated tools. Rather than replacing your development workflow, it augments it by handling async work like code reviews, migrations, and incident triage while keeping humans in control through a review-and-approve model.

The platform provides isolated cloud environments for agent execution, connects to your existing tools (GitHub, Linear, Slack, Sentry, and more), and supports multiple agents and models without lock-in. Teams can trigger agents via @mentions from Slack, Linear, or GitHub, and all work streams back to pull requests or artifacts for team review. Tembo also offers self-hosted deployment for regulated industries and security-first teams.

Pros

No lock-in to specific agents or models
Transparent, per-minute compute pricing
Supports both cloud and self-hosted deployment
Strong security and compliance features
Agents triggered via natural @mentions
Full session visibility and auditability
Generous free tier with $10 usage allowance

Cons

Requires integration setup for full context

Self-hosted option requires infrastructure management
Learning curve for configuring agent workflows

Use this if

You need background agents to handle code review, refactoring, or incident triage without local setup. You want flexibility to swap agents and models. You require self-hosted deployment for compliance. You need multi-repo coordination.

Skip this if

You only need interactive local agent development. You require a single locked-in agent. You cannot use cloud infrastructure. You need real-time interactive coding assistance rather than async background work.
