Answers to common questions about Commander Codey

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions, answered;

Everything you need to know about Commander Codey — pricing, privacy, local-first workflows, and how Tandem Review keeps your answers honest.

What's included in the Community tier?

Everything you need to get started: the full Command Center UI, all 19 AI roles, the Tandem Review Workflow, Cloud API support (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral, Grok, Ollama), local storage, and team presets. Community is free forever — no credit card required, no time limit, no feature gating on the core product.

What does Pro add?

Pro unlocks advanced Tandem Review workflows, solo pipeline automation, approval gates, web search tools, and one year of updates (then an optional $22/year renewal). The Tandem Review Workflow and cloud API support (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral, Grok, Ollama) are included free in Community. It's a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, no per-execution fees.

How does it work without servers?

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.

Is my data really private?

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.

Can I use it completely offline?

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.

What's the difference between Simple and Advanced mode?

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.

Do I need to know Python?

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.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Pro purchases come with a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. See our Refund Policy for details.

Is there a subscription or recurring fee?

No. Pro is a one-time purchase — the license is yours, with no monthly fees and no per-execution charges. Pro includes one year of updates; after that, an optional $22/year renewal keeps you on the latest version. Premium includes lifetime updates with no renewal, ever.
