Zed

Zed is a high-performance, collaborative code editor with built-in AI agent tooling that runs in the desktop.

Its Agent Panel provides chat, inline transformations, and text-thread conversations that can read and modify files with tool access.

Zed also supports third-party coding agents through an open agent client protocol, with an initial integration for Google’s Gemini CLI. It also lets you choose and configure language models. Zed supports language server protocol (LSP) for many programming languages.
