You can use Z.ai to interact with an AI assistant powered by the GLM language model to build full-stack websites, write and debug code, handle complex multi-step tasks, and get quick answers to questions. It includes a magic design feature for generating visual projects, a coding-focused plan with advanced model access, and an API for developers. It works as both a conversational AI and an autonomous agent capable of longer-horizon tasks.
