AI product Open source

ZCode

Z.ai's coding agent harness and AI programming workspace, offered through a desktop application, browser interface, and terminal agent. Its repository contains the client, backend services, shared React UI, Agent CLI, and runtime; the desktop client uses Electron, while the web and server components communicate through HTTP and WebSocket services. It supports remote project connections over SSH and WSL. The standalone command-line distribution combines a terminal UI, web server, and agent, and can run locally without Electron; the same command starts either the terminal interface or a browser-accessible web interface.
