I had access to Verdent during early access over the past few weeks, and I've found it to be better than my previous experience with Roo Code + Gemini/Claude.

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.

I have been using GitHub Copilot and other VS Code agent extensions like Cline. Common gaps across these vendors I identified: Planning rarely includes clear acceptance checks, edge-case lists, or traceability from plan items to commits/tests.

I think Verdent provides good planning, where prompts can be structured and I can review, accept, or adjust this plan before any code changes are made.

The only thing I do not like about Verdent does not offer a free plan. It's worth it as a paid tool but it would be great to have free credits to get started. For example, you can use the Cline or Copilot free version or you can bring your own model.
