AI IDEs / AI Code Editors

ZCode is an agentic development environment from Z.ai/Zhipu AI for long-running coding tasks, multi-step code changes, review, and remote follow-up. It combines a standalone desktop workspace with GLM-optimized agents, BYOK model access, MCP, skills, sub-agents, and mobile/chat control.

Google Antigravity is Google’s agent-first development platform for orchestrating coding agents across an IDE, terminal, browser, desktop command center, CLI, and SDK. It is designed for developers who want agents to plan, execute, verify, and report work through reviewable artifacts rather than simple chat messages.

Zed AI is a fast, open-source AI code editor built around native-speed editing, agent workflows, BYOK model access, and real-time review of AI-generated changes.

Void is an open-source, VS Code-based AI code editor positioned as a privacy-focused Cursor alternative. Its strongest appeal is direct provider connection, local model flexibility, and inspectable source code, but the original repository is now deprecated and archived.

Windsurf is an AI-native code editor that has transitioned into Devin Desktop, combining a VS Code-like IDE with local and cloud coding agents. It is best understood as an agent-first development environment for developers who want AI help inside the editor rather than only in chat.

Cursor is an AI-native code editor built on the VS Code experience, combining fast autocomplete, chat, agentic coding, codebase context, and team controls. It is designed for developers who want AI assistance directly inside their normal editing workflow.

Trae is an AI-native IDE from ByteDance that blends a VS Code-like coding environment with agentic coding workflows, custom model support, MCP tooling, and SOLO mode for larger development tasks.
