Zhipu Qingyan — often referred to internationally as ChatGLM — is Zhipu AI's consumer-facing AI workspace at chatglm.cn. It runs on the company's GLM large model family and presents itself not just as a chatbot but as an agent that understands a goal, breaks it into steps, calls the right tools and hands back a deliverable rather than a wall of text.
The platform bundles a wide range of capabilities into one account: conversational dialogue and web search, AI image and video generation, slide creation, document and data analysis, code assistance and voice interaction. Because Zhipu also publishes open-weight GLM models, the same underlying research shows up both in this hosted product and in developer-facing APIs.
The interface is primarily Chinese and tuned for Chinese-language tasks and domestic content, which makes it a strong fit for users working in that context. A free tier covers everyday chat and basic tools, with paid tiers for higher quotas and advanced models.
