Tale is a self-hosted, MIT-licensed project workspace where teams plan tasks on a shared board, delegate work to AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex running in persistent sandboxes, and review deliverables together.

Open Source
The MIT-licensed Community edition is free to self-host with all product features included. Tale Enterprise costs CHF 12 (EUR 14) per user/month with two months free on yearly billing, plus CHF 10/TB/month for storage beyond 1TB; cloud AI model usage is billed separately at the provider's rates with no markup.
Best for
Data-sensitive organizations in Switzerland and the EU that want to orchestrate multiple AI coding agents under one self-hosted, governed workspace.
Not ideal for
Individuals or small teams without infrastructure to self-host, or those seeking a fully managed SaaS with no setup or maintenance overhead.
Tale offers a compelling combination of open-source flexibility, multi-agent orchestration, and enterprise-grade governance with strong compliance certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR). However, its self-hosted-first approach and separate infrastructure/model costs mean it requires more operational effort than turnkey SaaS alternatives.
No specific product launch dates were found in the search results; the platform documentation covers agent runtime selection, and hardware configurations are listed under product version 26.04.
