Where Zed + AI shines

Zed’s AI works directly in the editor for fast, collaborative code edits. It supports agent panels, inline threads, and predictive edits.

Agentic editing

Work with agents to plan and apply code changes.

Inline assistant

Chat over selections and apply edits instantly.

Multiplayer

120fps real-time collaboration.

High-performance editor with AI integration

Zed is a Rust-based code editor focused on speed and collaboration, and with AI integration, it extends into intelligent assistance. Zed + AI offers in-line completions, code explanations, and collaborative chat that lets developers work with teammates and AI simultaneously. Its lightweight performance and collaborative features position it as an appealing alternative to heavier IDEs.

Adoption and fit

Zed + AI appeals to developers who want a fast, modern editor with built-in intelligence. Remote teams value its collaboration tools, while individual developers enjoy its responsiveness and AI-driven suggestions. For developers frustrated with slow or bloated editors, Zed provides a refreshing combination of speed and intelligence.

Challenges and assessment

As a relatively new editor, Zed’s ecosystem is still limited compared to VS Code or JetBrains. Advanced integrations and plugins may be missing for some teams. However, its focus on performance, collaboration, and AI makes it a strong candidate for developers seeking modern, lightweight alternatives with future growth potential.
