Thanks, we have invested lot of effort into making the whole experience meaningful.

We strongly believe that the future will be orchestrated, and in that future harnessing the multi agent workflows will be crucial. But yes, sometimes simple solutions work.

Verdent Deck (the desktop app) could be considered as a recommended way to start. You can have multiple agents run in parallel, code review, code diff explained, etc. Then if needed you can jump into VS Code and work on specific parts with our extension.

Hi HN!We just launched Verdent, an AI coding agent that actually plans before it codes, tests its own work, and delivers production-ready results without you having to clean up after it.tl;dr Check out the website [1] and read the story [2]- The problem: Current AI tools dump code and leave you to debug. You ask for "build a login endpoint" and get a passwordless JWT mess that doesn't fit your...

Thanks for the suggestion, we will take it into account while we are figuring out the next steps.

Hi, atm we can say that it's moderately less than Cline but we need more testing to give exact numbers. We have plans for testing by users and 3rd parties in future, for full transparency.

Thansk for the comment. Planning and verifiability is crucial for any serious coding task. Through our early access program we have been providing free credits and we have used that insight to structure the pricing plan. ATM we are not offering free plan as we are focusing all of our efforts to create the best possible experience for engineers.

Thanks for sharing. I’m Zhijie Chen, founder of Verdent and formerly Head of Algorithms at TikTok. Verdent is built for larger, production-grade tasks: it plans before coding, runs agents in parallel, tests results, and explains diffs. Our north star is a full Plan Code Verify loop, and we are building toward that. Curious what kinds of tasks you would actually trust an AI to handle end to end.
