About Zed

Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor designed for speed and collaboration, incorporating AI to enhance the coding workflow. It's built by the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

It integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) into the workflow, enabling developers to generate, transform, and analyze code with AI assistance.

Key features include real-time collaboration, allowing developers to chat with teammates, write notes together, and share their screen and project. Zed is available for macOS, Linux, and Windows, offering a consistent experience across different platforms.

The editor is designed to be intelligent, providing tools that understand and assist with the coding process. It also boasts a growing extensions ecosystem, allowing users to customize and extend the editor's functionality to suit their specific needs.
