    "why": "Sitting at one keyboard, trading messages with a single model breaks down on a complex goal. ZCode ties the desktop app, the browser and the terminal into one workspace, and lets several agents split planning, execution and verification. Progress can be checked and steered from WeChat, Feishu or Telegram too.",
    "take": "Plenty of tools claim multi-agent; tying desktop, web and terminal into one codebase and letting you watch from a messaging app is the part you actually feel.",
    "build": [
      "The Electron desktop app, the browser workspace and the zcode terminal CLI all come from one repository. Point it at a Git repo, state a goal, and an agent plans and executes it while progress and completed steps stay visible on screen. It ships as the official harness for Zhipu AI’s GLM-5.3 model, and connects MCP tools and skills."
