Zed AI: Built-In Assistance

Inline AI

Select code and press the AI shortcut to get an inline edit: explain, refactor or rewrite the selection without leaving your cursor position.

The Agent Panel

Open the AI panel to hold a real conversation with the agent. Share project context, ask questions and apply suggested edits directly to the files.

Model Options

Zed supports Claude and GPT models. It comes with a free usage allowance, and you can add your own API keys to use your own accounts and providers.

Edit Predictions

Zed predicts your next edit as you type and applies it with one keypress, so repetitive changes feel near-instant.

Key Points

• Inline AI edits the current selection quickly.
• The agent panel handles larger assisted tasks.
• Use built-in credits or your own API keys.
• Edit predictions speed up repetitive typing.
