What is ZCode

ZCode is a free desktop app from Z.ai that helps you build software using an AI agent. Instead of just chatting with AI inside an editor, you tell ZCode what you want done, and it plans the work, edits your files, runs terminal commands, checks its own results, and keeps working until the task is finished.

It is built around the GLM-5.2 model, which can hold a huge amount of context so it can work on large, complex projects without losing track of details. You can also connect other AI models if you prefer.

ZCode works on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and you can even guide tasks from your phone while the agent keeps working on your computer.
