Best for
Developers who want to professionalize their AI coding experience with consistent workflows, session-persistent memory, and verifiable code review while continuing to use their existing AI coding tools.
Not ideal for
Developers seeking an all-in-one AI coding platform that replaces their current tools, or those who prefer zero-configuration, ephemeral AI sessions without structured planning or review processes.
Gentle-AI effectively bridges the gap between generic AI chatbot assistants and professional engineering environments by adding necessary memory, structural guardrails, and quality gates that do not interfere with the developer's delivery autonomy.
v4.0.0 retired SDD and OpenSpec in favor of Organic Driven Development (ODD) as the primary workflow, added managed plugin support for OpenCode V2, and restored Windows platform support.
