tessera vs codeg
AI coding agent workspaces compared
tessera and codeg organize multiple AI coding agents and their work in a shared workspace, including parallel tasks and Git worktrees. tessera focuses on coordinating local sessions from several named providers, while codeg centers on an ACP-based interface for conversations, session histories, and delegated work, with desktop and self-hosted deployment options.
tessera: Organize AI Coding Sessions Across Projects
Tessera is a local workspace for coordinating Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode sessions across projects. It brings parallel agent tasks, Git worktrees, session views, and Git workflows together for developers running coding agents on their own machines.
codeg: Coordinate AI Coding Agents with Agent Client Protocol
Codeg is a collaborative workspace for running and coordinating AI coding agents through the Agent Client Protocol. It brings agent conversations, sessions, code changes, and tasks into one experience across desktop, self-hosted server, Docker, and mobile.
