Zed
Zed is a high-performance, collaborative code editor with built-in AI agent tooling that runs on the desktop.
Its Agent Panel hosts threaded conversations with agents that can read, write, and run code in your project through built-in tools, while a separate Inline Assistant transforms a selection in place.
Zed also supports third-party coding agents through the open Agent Client Protocol (ACP), including Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Google’s Gemini CLI. The ACP Registry lists more. It also lets you choose and configure language models. You can run several agent threads in parallel across projects and worktrees, and Edit Prediction suggests inline completions as you type using Zed’s open-weight Zeta model. Zed supports the Language Server Protocol (LSP) for many programming languages.
