TOKEN INTELLIGENCE · SUPERSET ALTERNATIVE
Every agent reads your repo from scratch.
Token Intelligence means they don't have to.
Token Intelligence is Tempest's core feature: a local knowledge graph built once and shared across every parallel agent session — up to 64% fewer tokens, up to 58% fewer tool calls. No other tool in this category documents an equivalent. Superset ships remote workspaces, automations, and 27 MCP tools that Tempest doesn't — but none of those reduce what you pay per agent run. Tempest also runs on Windows today; Superset lists it as coming soon.

WHEN TO PICK SUPERSET
Pick Superset if you are on macOS and want the fuller platform: remote workspaces (Pro tier, beta), recurring automations, 27 MCP tools, and a diff review dashboard. It is a more ambitious product than Tempest today, and that shows in the feature list.
WHEN TO PICK TEMPEST
Pick Tempest if your API bill is the constraint. Every agent you run normally pays the full cost of reading your repository — file by file, tool call by tool call. Token Intelligence builds a local knowledge graph once and every parallel agent draws from it instead. Up to 64% fewer tokens. Up to 58% fewer tool calls. The savings compound with every session you add. You also get Windows binaries today and Apache 2.0 — not ELv2.
WHY THE TOKEN NUMBERS HOLD
Token Intelligence. Index once. Every agent pays less.
Most multi-agent tools let each agent discover the repository independently. Tempest indexes it once and shares that index. The difference is where the context work happens — and who pays for it.
One index, every agent benefits
Tempest builds a local knowledge graph of your repository once. Every parallel agent draws from that shared index instead of re-reading files independently. That is where the token reduction comes from — the work is done once, not once per agent.
Windows support today
Superset ships macOS binaries, with Windows and Linux marked as coming soon. Tempest has native Windows binaries available now. If your team develops on Windows, that is a hard blocker for Superset.
Apache 2.0, not source-available
Superset is licensed under Elastic License 2.0 — source-available with restrictions on competing services. Tempest is Apache 2.0: use it, fork it, ship a modified version commercially. No restrictions.
