A side-by-side comparison of Inventory and is.team — features, pricing, and ideal use cases — to help you decide which AI tool fits your workflow.

Inventory

Paid

Private, local-first search across every AI coding conversation in Cursor, Claude Code, Zed, Codex, Kiro, and Antigravity.

Unified Conversation Index: Reads local stores from Cursor, Claude Code, Zed, Codex, Kiro, and Antigravity and merges them into one searchable timeline.
Instant Global Search: A ⌘⇧Space shortcut opens a search bar with ~0 ms latency across every past AI chat on your machine.
Local-Only and Read-Only: Data stays on-device and is snapshotted first, so your original chat stores are never modified and nothing is uploaded.
Zero-Setup Install: One macOS download auto-discovers the local stores of supported tools — no account, no configuration.
Unlimited History: Keeps the full history of every conversation instead of the tool-specific rolling windows.
Scratchpad and Sources View: A companion Scratchpad and per-source view let you browse conversations by tool and pinned notes.

Recovering Past Fixes: Find the exact bug fix or config you already talked through with an agent weeks ago instead of re-prompting.
Cross-Tool Research: Search a topic across Cursor, Claude Code, Zed, Codex, Kiro, and Antigravity at once when you have used more than one.
Auditing Agent Work: Review what an AI tool actually did on a branch or task by browsing the merged conversation timeline.
Private Knowledge Base: Build a searchable, on-device knowledge base of your AI chats without sending anything to a cloud service.
Onboarding a New Machine: Point Inventory at existing chat stores to bring years of AI conversation history into one searchable place.

IS.TEAM LLC

Freemium

An infinite-canvas project board where AI coding agents connect over MCP, subscribe to cards and reply in chat alongside the team.

MCP Agent Boards: Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT connect over MCP, subscribe to a board and reply in card chat while they work, so agents behave like teammates rather than external tools.
Infinite Canvas Workspace: Tasks, notes and planning share one zoomable surface, replacing separate tracker, whiteboard and chat tools.
AI Workflow Planner: Generates and sequences the work for a board so a project can be broken down without manual ticket writing.
AI Card Assistant: A per-card helper that drafts, summarizes and answers questions inside the context of a single task.
Meeting Note Taker: Captures meeting notes using one-time workspace credits and extracts actionable tasks straight onto the board.
Per-Workspace Pricing: A flat workspace fee covering up to 15 seats on the Pro plan, so adding an engineer never triggers a surprise invoice.
Integrations and Webhooks: HMAC-signed webhooks plus Zapier and Make connections, with API access and LLM API tokens on higher tiers.
Real-Time Collaboration: Live multi-user editing with voice chat, screen sharing, sprints, time tracking and a timeline view.

Agent-Assisted Development: Letting a coding agent pick up a card, do the work and report progress in the same thread the team is reading.
Tool Consolidation: Replacing a Jira, Slack and Miro combination with a single canvas for engineering leads tired of context-switching.
Small Team Planning: Running sprints, timelines and time tracking for a startup team on a flat monthly workspace fee.
Meeting-to-Backlog Workflow: Turning recorded meeting notes into extracted, assigned board tasks without manual transcription.
Automated Intake: Collecting work through embeddable forms that create cards automatically on the right board.
Cross-Tool Automation: Wiring board events to Zapier or Make through signed webhooks so downstream systems stay in sync.
