Z.ai's consumer AI chat assistant and agent for conversation, coding, and long-horizon tasks.
Z.ai Chat is the company's consumer chat assistant and agent, served from z.ai/chat. It answers questions, writes and debugs code, builds websites, and handles long-horizon tasks, with a deep-reasoning mode for complex multi-step work. Guided prompt galleries support landing pages, teaching material, 3D modelling, mini games, and blog writing.
As of September 2026 the assistant ran on the GLM-5.3-Flash multimodal model, and an agent mode with built-in skills for creating PDF, Word, and Excel files was rolling out. The assistant is free to use, with heavier development workloads served through the separately sold GLM Coding Plan and API access.
