01 / Overview

About

ZCode places an AI agent in a development-task workspace. The agent can read files, use the terminal and browser, modify code, run checks, and iterate on results. Official documentation describes it as an ADE for planning, coding, review, and release, with desktop, remote, and Bot Channel entry points. Models, limits, and connection methods depend on the current Z.ai/BigModel configuration.
