Zhipu AI's open platform for GLM large models, multimodal APIs, and agent building
Unified access to GLM large language models plus vision, OCR, speech, image, and video endpoints through one account.
Build tool-using agents and expose or consume MCP services to connect models to external systems.
Create managed knowledge bases and retrieval pipelines so models can answer with your own documents.
Tune models on your data and prototype prompts interactively in the browser before shipping.
The design canvas built for AI coding agents
Generate complete, multi-screen interfaces from a text prompt, PRD, screenshot or pasted product URL rather than a single static screen.
Every design maps directly to code, so you can preview interactive prototypes quickly or export and ship the implementation.
Iterate by asking the AI for changes, or click any element and edit it by hand — the two modes work on the same file.
Connect Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf or Codex so agents can generate screens and edit designs inside your editor.
