AI AGENTS
by Zed Industries
Native AI coding agent in the Zed editor for reading, editing, navigating, and running code in developer projects.
Zed Agent is Zed's native AI coding agent path inside the Zed editor. Official Zed documentation describes it as running in the Agent Panel and Threads Sidebar, using LLM providers, and integrating with project, editor, terminal, and review surfaces. The Agent Panel is described as a place to interact with AI agents that can read, write, and run code in a project for code generation, refactoring, debugging, documentation, and questions. Zed also documents built-in agent tools for reading, searching, editing the codebase, and running terminal commands in Agent Panel conversations.
Use when you want an AI coding agent integrated directly into the Zed editor rather than a separate standalone coding tool. Use for project-level coding assistance where the agent needs to read search edit and run code from within editor workflows. Use for code generation refactoring debugging documentation help or asking questions about a project in Zed's Agent Panel.
