About Tale
Tale is an open-source project workspace where teams and AI agents work on shared tasks. Teammates bring tasks, files, and conversations into projects, assign work to a person or an agent, and follow progress on a board. Agents receive instructions and tools, work in persistent sandboxes, and deliver files that the team can inspect, review, and approve, with an audit trail of actions.
The workspace supports agent runtimes such as Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and OpenCode, using either existing subscriptions or API-billed models. It also offers shared knowledge sources, repeatable workflows built from agent steps, conditions, and actions, and an Arena for comparing two models' answers. Connectors include GitHub, Slack, Google, Microsoft, Atlassian, Shopify, and others.
Tale is MIT licensed and self-hosted by default, with managed hosting available. It includes roles, single sign-on, budgets, and guardrails. Use cases cover software delivery, marketing campaigns, research, and operations. Technical members configure agents and tools, while other teammates describe tasks and review results. Tale is built by Ruler GmbH, an ISO 27001-certified Swiss company.
