Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Sourcegraph
Application
Tracks metrics across every repository an organisation has — migration progress, dependency versions, code health — computed from the same search index Code Search uses.
A retrieval layer built to answer questions about a codebase at scale, feeding an AI agent the context it needs to reason across every repository.
AI agent
Runs a single migration across every repository an organisation owns, driven by an agent rather than a hand-written script per repo.
Developer tool
Searches and edits code across every repository an organisation has.
Z.ai (Zhipu AI)
Application
AI research assistant built on Zhipu's GLM models that performs academic and scholar search, AI-assisted paper reading, literature-review generation with citations, and scholarly question answering.
Deep-research assistant that searches and scrapes source websites to produce structured research reports and can emit the result as a slide deck or web page, with browser automation and video summarisation.
Zhipu's Chinese-market consumer AI assistant and agent built on the GLM model family, covering dialogue, writing, coding, translation and multimodal input.
AI agent
Locally installed AI agent application with 50+ preconfigured skills that performs document generation, data analysis, browser automation and messaging-app collaboration, running on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android and defaulting to the GLM-5.3 model.
Developer tool
Flat-rate monthly subscription providing GLM model access inside third-party coding agents and IDEs such as Claude Code, Codex, Cline, OpenCode, Cursor and Windsurf, billed separately from Z.ai's per-token API.
