What is Zed?

Zed is ai code editors from Zed Industries, Inc., based in Denver, USA. Zed is a code editor written in Rust for speed and collaboration with humans and AI agents.

AI code editors put completion, chat and refactoring inside the editor, with the whole repository as context. For most working developers this is the AI tool that actually sticks: it speeds up the typing-heavy parts of the job without changing how the team works. The difference between tools is mostly context handling — how well the editor understands a large codebase — and how much it costs per seat once the free tier runs out.

A free plan is available, with paid plans for growing teams. Beyond ai code editors, Zed also covers ai tools.

What customers say about Zed

Testimonials published on Zed's own website, selected by the vendor. These are not independent reviews.

“Yes! Now I can have shortcuts to run and debug tests. Ever since snippets were added, Zed has all of the features I could ask for in an editor.” Source

“I've had my mind blown using Zed with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. I wrote up a few sentences around a research idea and Claude 3.5 Sonnet delivered a first pass in seconds. When I spotted some small mistakes, I highlighted the parts I wanted to change and shared feedback for it to fix. I was able to go from idea to running experiment code in half an hour —it was really easy and fun.” Source

“This is obviously a product built with love and care. I can tell it from two minutes of using it. Kudos to the team.” Source

“My god it is so fast. Boot time, UI interaction, typing latency. I feel it. I knew VS Code always felt sluggish, but I didn't realize how good things could really be. I'm honestly astounded.” Source
