Collaborate with agents at 120fps in a natively multiplayer IDE.

Zed's UI

Fast, Unobtrusive, and Effective

I came from vim, and Zed is the Rust-powered code editor I’ve been waiting for. I love to dictate prompts to various LLMs and get notified when their work is ready to review. I got so much better at code review!

By integrating editor capabilities into their agents, Zed agents delivered complete features while also preserving my project's coding standards – and as everything else the Zed team does, it was incredibly fast at it

Zed's Vim mode is the best I’ve used so far and when the Agent was launched, I had to try it. It perfectly fits Zed's philosophy of doing the best in the simplest form. It's not shouting at me, but is there when I need it. It does its job and stays standby until the next time.

It's better than anything else I've tried — the context building is smart and well-designed. I'm impressed.

Using Agentic editing with Zed and Amazon Bedrock means I can tackle any problem, in any language, fearlessly.

I’ve spent 10 years as a Pycharm user waiting for another IDE to use, nothing came close. I’m a month into use Zed and I’m a complete convert, it’s beautiful, fast and flexible. At the same time, Zed has replaced Claude Code as my default coding agent.
