What is Zed AI?

Zed is a fast, Rust-built code editor from the creators of Atom, and its AI features are woven directly into that speed: an agent panel that edits across files with visible, reviewable changes, inline transformations on selected code, and edit predictions that guess your next change. You can bring your own model API keys or use Zed's hosted models.

The editor itself is free and open source, with real-time collaboration built in, and a Zed Pro subscription covers hosted AI usage with predictable monthly pricing. Zed is still maturing on Windows and in extension breadth compared with VS Code, so some developers keep it as a fast second editor rather than their only home.
