Who searches for it, and why
ZCode refers to an open-source AI programming workbench published by Z.ai (zai-org) on GitHub, described as a coding agent harness that runs as a desktop app, in the browser and in the terminal. People search it to download it for their operating system, to log in, and to compare it with Claude Code and OpenCode. In practice it is used by developers who want an agent that edits and runs code locally, typically with Z.ai's GLM models behind it. Its Apache 2.0 licence and fast-growing star count drive the interest. The commercial angle is the crowded coding-agent tool market rather than ZCode itself.
