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.
