The AI-powered workspace that reads your files, runs your code, connects your tools — and works the way you do.

ChatGPT and Claude.ai are great for conversation — but they can't open your files, run your tests, or push to GitHub.
GitHub Copilot and Cursor live inside your editor — but they don't know about your Figma designs, your team's conversations, or your GitHub issues.
Prompting AI to generate entire apps is exciting — but without structure, reviews, or tests, you end up with code you can't maintain.
💡 Zim brings it all together — one platform where AI understands your full context: your files, your tools, your team, and your workflow.
Zim is a full-featured AI development platform. It's not just a chatbot — it's an agent that can read and write your files, run commands in a terminal, preview your app, and collaborate with your team — all in one place.
Use it in your browser or as a native desktop app — with offline support.
Claude reads, writes, edits files and runs shell commands — autonomously.
GitHub, Figma, terminal, and live preview — all wired together.
Real-time collaboration, shared projects, live cursors, and team chat.
For complex tasks, Zim can spin up multiple specialized agents working together — just like a real dev team.

"Vibe coding" — prompting AI to generate entire apps — is exciting. But it has real limitations. Zim gives you the speed of vibe coding with the structure of professional development.
Claude Code is powerful but CLI-only. Zim adds a full web + desktop UI, Figma, team collab, and GitHub management — without losing any agent power.
Cursor is great for solo coding. Zim adds Figma design-to-code, multi-agent orchestration, team collaboration, and works in the browser — no editor install needed.
Replit is great for quick prototypes. Zim works with your existing codebase, connects to your GitHub, and gives you a desktop app — not a locked-in cloud environment.
Copilot is a great autocomplete tool. Zim is a full agent that plans, builds, tests, and ships — not just suggesting the next line of code.
Vibe coding is fast but unstructured. Zim gives you the same speed with version control, tests, code reviews, and team collaboration — so you can actually ship and maintain what you build.
