About codegraph
CodeGraph is a pre indexed code knowledge graph that runs locally and wires into AI coding agents — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, AntiGravity, Kiro, GitHub Copilot, and Hermes Agent — so those agents query a semantic map of the codebase instead of reading files one at a time.

About Superset
Superset is an agentic IDE for orchestrating many coding agents in parallel on a developer machine. It lives in the AI assisted coding and developer tools ecosystem, and it is aimed at people who run CLI agents such as Claude Code, Codex, or any CLI agent. It can run any agent with the user's own subscription. The project treats each agent as a worker that can run in its own isolated git worktree, with its own branch, terminal, and environment.
