comet vs qm
Zeron: control Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Hermes and Pi from a local Rust daemon — sessions live on the device, with optional sign-in to drive them from another machine. — versus — Multiplayer agent harness for startups: every employee gets a scoped workspace — memory, files, keychain, crons, sandbox — in Slack and web, with Pi/OpenCode/Codex/Claude Code swappable underneath.
Both multiplex the same coding CLIs: comet is one operator's local Rust daemon over Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and friends; qm hands a whole team scoped workspaces in Slack. Single cockpit vs multiplayer.

comet — the curator's take
The pick when you want agent sessions that outlive the laptop lid: a per-device engine owns the data directory, a fresh install is local-only with no account and no network, and signing in adds a synced workspace you can start on one box and follow from another — a VPS keeps agents working after you close the laptop. The profile boundary is unusually honest: login and logout refuse to touch credentials while an engine holds the data dir, and signing in never uploads or imports your existing local sessions. Caveats: the repo is named comet but the product is `zeron`, Linux installs via a `curl | sh` daemon, macOS wants the desktop release or a source build, and it's young enough that the docs are the architecture file.
qm — the curator's take
The org-level answer to "give everyone at the company an agent": per-person and per-channel scopes keep memory, credentials and files isolated, and the harness underneath (Pi, OpenCode, Codex, Claude Code) is swappable, so the deployment isn't a bet on one vendor. Security postures (strict/auto/dangerous) plus a hard command-deny policy that survives even Dangerous mode are unusually well thought through. NOT for individuals — this is Postgres + sandbox + deployment-repo infrastructure; a solo dev should run a harness directly. Quirk: contributions are accepted as prose ADRs, not code PRs.
