Tandem Review is how Commander Codey catches weak answers before you trust them: one AI drafts the work while another reviews, checks, and challenges it. Instead of taking a single model's first response at face value, you get a structured second opinion built into the workflow.
Commander Codey runs in your browser. Chat history, configurations, and workspace data are stored locally using IndexedDB and localStorage. When you connect a cloud AI model, your browser talks directly to that provider's API. There is no AITeamCollab server in the middle handling your data.
Yes. We built Commander Codey local-first specifically for this reason. Your code, prompts, API keys, and conversation history stay on your machine. We don't collect telemetry. We don't track usage. When you use local Ollama models, your data never leaves your device at all.
Yes, with local Ollama models. Install Ollama, pull models to your machine, and Commander Codey works with zero internet connection. Cloud models obviously require internet, but the platform itself runs entirely in your browser.
Simple Mode hides the complexity — you pick a preset, describe your task, and go. Advanced Mode shows everything: all 19 role cards, model assignment dropdowns, pipeline controls, diagnostics, and dual chat windows. Switch between them at any time.
No. Unlike most AI orchestration tools (CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen), Commander Codey is a full browser UI. No command line, no Python scripts, no dependency management. If you can use a web app, you can use Commander Codey.
Yes. Pro and Dev purchases come with a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. An approved refund deactivates the paid license. See our Refund Policy for details.
No. Pro and Dev are one-time purchases with a perpetual license — no monthly fees, no renewal, and no per-execution charges.
