Hatchet vs Indent
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Hatchet and Indent — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Hatchet vs Indent: at a glance
What is Hatchet?
Hatchet takes durable tasks serverless, with handlers for Cloudflare Workers, Vercel and Node.
Hatchet's new @hatchet-dev/serverless 0.1.0 runs tasks on Cloudflare Workers, Vercel and Node. An in-engine operator delivers them by signed POST or by an invocation websocket that also carries durable sleeps, waits and child runs. Around it, the engine shipped three patches in a day: DAG replays no longer take an advisory lock, worker shutdown now waits for durable tasks, and status queries use partition pruning. The API now declares 429 with Retry-After on every authenticated call.
What is Indent?
Indent is turning a chat assistant into a multi-model agent that works inside your other tools.
Indent's entries describe an AI workspace that sits across chat, code review and automations. It offers several frontier models (Claude Opus 5.5, now the default for new organizations and Pro PR reviews, and GPT-6 Astra), lets users switch models within a family mid-conversation, and has given integrations their own marketplace with personal versus organization connection status. A shared web interface now ships UI updates to desktop without new desktop releases.

Hatchet takes durable tasks serverless, with handlers for Cloudflare Workers, Vercel and Node.
◆ Current state
Hatchet's new @hatchet-dev/serverless 0.1.0 runs tasks on Cloudflare Workers, Vercel and Node. An in-engine operator delivers them by signed POST or by an invocation websocket that also carries durable sleeps, waits and child runs. Around it, the engine shipped three patches in a day: DAG replays no longer take an advisory lock, worker shutdown now waits for durable tasks, and status queries use partition pruning. The API now declares 429 with Retry-After on every authenticated call.
◆ Where it's heading
Until now, running Hatchet meant running long-lived workers. The serverless package removes that requirement, so durable execution can run where JavaScript teams already deploy. The engine work points the same way: rate limits declared in the spec, safer worker acks, cheaper status queries. Patch cadence is still very high, often several engine tags a day, and much of it fixes durable-task edge cases.
◆ Prediction
Expect quick 0.1.x serverless releases as early users hit edge cases on each platform, and possibly matching Python handlers. More engine patches on durable-task shutdown and replay are likely.

Indent is turning a chat assistant into a multi-model agent that works inside your other tools.
◆ Current state
Indent's entries describe an AI workspace that sits across chat, code review and automations. It offers several frontier models (Claude Opus 5.5, now the default for new organizations and Pro PR reviews, and GPT-6 Astra), lets users switch models within a family mid-conversation, and has given integrations their own marketplace with personal versus organization connection status. A shared web interface now ships UI updates to desktop without new desktop releases.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is reach: Linear issues can be delegated to Indent, automations run on cron schedules rather than only watching Slack, and the integrations catalog is now a browsable surface. Model choice is treated as a setting rather than an identity, which keeps Indent positioned as the orchestration layer rather than tied to one lab.
◆ Prediction
Expect more integrations surfaced through the new marketplace and further automation triggers; new frontier models will likely keep appearing in the picker soon after release, as Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra did.
