DMN and the alternatives
There are several good ways to run more than one coding agent. Here's where DMN differs, as fairly as we can put it. Tell us if something here is out of date.

Read the guide →DMN and Conductor
Conductor runs agents in isolated workspaces on the Mac and in the cloud. DMN runs them on Windows, with shared memory and code search.
Read the comparison →DMN and Superset
Superset orchestrates many CLI agents in worktrees on the Mac. DMN adds an engine the agents share, on Windows.
Read the comparison →DMN and BridgeMind
BridgeMind is a paid all-in-one agent workspace with voice. DMN is free, with a local engine that saves tokens.
