Podium chooses the products, criteria, sources and wording, so treat these pages as vendor-authored research. Check important claims against the linked primary sources. The same evidence rules apply to Podium and its competitors, but they do not remove this conflict of interest. This comparison has 10 criteria with sourced findings for both products, including 10 that a second agent cross-checked for both. 37 criteria have a sourced finding for at least one product. "Sourced" findings passed publication validation. "Agent cross-checked" findings also received a separate agent source pass, not necessarily a hands-on test. Humans approve the rubric, templates and prototype; they do not review every finding. It does not declare a winner. A missing sourced finding is not evidence that a capability is absent. - Conductor source checks: 2026-09-23. - Tembo source checks: 2026-09-23. - Canonical HTML: https://podium.do/compare/agents/conductor-vs-tembo/ - Machine-readable JSON: https://podium.do/compare/agents/conductor-vs-tembo/data.json - Methodology: https://podium.do/compare/agents/methodology/ ## Access and agent choice ### ACC-01: Client access Judgment rule: List desktop OS and minimum versions, iOS, Android, browser, mobile browser, CLI and editor extensions separately.

Sources: tembo:agents ### ACC-07: Client implementation Judgment rule: For each desktop/mobile client, record native platform UI, Electron, Tauri, React Native, web/PWA or unknown, plus hybrids. Require official technical docs or pinned source/build evidence. Tauri is not synonymous with fully native UI. Keep implementation choice separate from measured responsiveness and usability. #### Conductor Verification status: No sourced public finding (not-published) Support: not-published No publishable sourced finding is available for this criterion. This does not mean the product lacks the capability. #### Tembo Verification status: No sourced public finding (not-published) Support: not-published No publishable sourced finding is available for this criterion. This does not mean the product lacks the capability. ## Planning and context ### PLAN-01: Intake and external tracker relationship Judgment rule: Record local creation, prompt intake, issue import and chat/Git triggers. Identify the authoritative tracker, stable issue IDs, one-way or two-way sync, supported edits and operations requiring a trip back to Linear/GitHub/Jira. Importing or attaching a ticket is not native issue management. Answer PLAN-06 and PLAN-07 separately. #### Conductor Verification status: Agent cross-checked (agent-cross-checked) Support: partial GitHub and Linear issues can start workspaces.

Sources: tembo:agents ### PLAN-02: Durable task plans Judgment rule: Record task plans and acceptance criteria, editors, revision history and links to implementation. Test amending a task while work is running, restarting and revisiting it later. A task-specific starting brief, reusable memory and a persistent product specification are different objects; product specs are judged in PLAN-08. #### Conductor Verification status: Agent cross-checked (agent-cross-checked) Support: partial Workspace todos organize longer work. Availability: unknown Delivery: unknown Scope: surfaces=Conductor macOS local workspaces, Conductor Cloud through macOS app and API; version=not specified; plan=not specified; os=not specified; execution_modes=not specified; region=not specified; harness=not specified.

Sources: conductor:todos #### Tembo Verification status: No sourced public finding (not-published) Support: not-published No publishable sourced finding is available for this criterion. This does not mean the product lacks the capability. ### PLAN-03: Hierarchy, dependencies and evolving scope Judgment rule: Record epics, arbitrary parent/child depth, blockers, readiness, dependency enforcement and state propagation. Start with a simple interactive task, grow it into an epic and retain its identity, discussion, history and outputs. Verify blockers actually prevent dispatch. Record whether a rigid preselected workflow is required, and whether changing scope requires recreating work. #### Conductor Verification status: No sourced public finding (not-published) Support: not-published No publishable sourced finding is available for this criterion. This does not mean the product lacks the capability. #### Tembo Verification status: No sourced public finding (not-published) Support: not-published No publishable sourced finding is available for this criterion. This does not mean the product lacks the capability. ### PLAN-04: Shared context and memory Judgment rule: List repository instructions, skills, project docs and cross-session/cross-harness memory. Record scope, provenance, citation, correction/deletion and stale-context controls. Test what survives a new session or colleague takeover. A notes page or shared file is not automatically a maintained spec or managed memory. #### Conductor Verification status: Agent cross-checked (agent-cross-checked) Support: partial Repository instructions and task context are documented. Availability: unknown Delivery: unknown Scope: surfaces=Conductor macOS local workspaces, Conductor Cloud through macOS app and API; version=not specified; plan=not specified; os=not specified; execution_modes=not specified; region=not specified; harness=not specified.

Sources: conductor:workflow #### Tembo Verification status: No sourced public finding (not-published) Support: not-published No publishable sourced finding is available for this criterion. This does not mean the product lacks the capability. ### PLAN-05: Architecture and API awareness Judgment rule: Record code search, repository indexing, external knowledge and multimodal inputs, with source freshness and access scope. Ask an agent to use an existing API under a documented architecture rule, then propose a conflicting change. Check retrieval, citation, conflict detection and review-time enforcement separately. A large context window or an instruction file alone does not prove architectural consistency. #### Conductor Verification status: No sourced public finding (not-published) Support: not-published No publishable sourced finding is available for this criterion. This does not mean the product lacks the capability. #### Tembo Verification status: No sourced public finding (not-published) Support: not-published No publishable sourced finding is available for this criterion. This does not mean the product lacks the capability. ### PLAN-06: Native issue management and idea backlog Judgment rule: Enumerate create, edit, discuss, prioritize, label, assign, search, filter, archive, reopen and project/epic views within the product. Save an idea without creating a running agent, refine it with another person, and explicitly mark it ready or dispatch it later. Record separate task/session entities, metadata depth, multiple sessions per task, durable state transitions and whether an external tracker remains necessary. #### Conductor Verification status: Agent cross-checked (agent-cross-checked) Support: partial Workspace todos exist; an independent issue backlog is unverified.
