Compatible (BYOK)Use Zed Editor with GlideflowAI.
A fast, collaborative code editor with configurable assistant surfaces. Connect it through GlideflowAI's OpenAI-compatible API with a key you control.
What this connection is for
Zed is a high-performance code editor with collaborative editing and AI assistant features designed to stay out of the way of ordinary programming. It appeals to developers who care about a quick editing loop and want assistance that remains a part of the workspace rather than becoming the whole interface. A lightweight editor can be a good place for asking focused questions, drafting a small change, or reviewing an explanation beside the code it concerns.
Assistant and provider settings evolve as Zed evolves, and the available controls can differ between releases and channels. A configuration should therefore begin with the current official Zed documentation for the version installed locally. The dependable idea is the protocol: where an OpenAI-compatible provider and editable base URL are supported, a gateway can be treated as a user-provided provider rather than a special integration.
This listing is Compatible (BYOK), not a claim of a fully tested Zed path. Enter the GlideflowAI endpoint only through Zed's supported assistant/provider configuration. Keep an API key out of shared workspace settings, choose an exact model ID, and run a short prompt before trusting longer agent-style changes.
Why pair it with GlideflowAI
A compatible provider, where supported by your Zed version, gives the editor access to the same key and model menu as other developer tools.
Public model IDs and USD prices make it easier to keep an editor workflow intentional instead of tied to an opaque default.
Setup
Use a new API key for the tool, select a model from the catalog, and begin with a small task. Do not put a key in a repository, screenshot, or shared configuration file.
Check the current Zed assistant-provider documentation
Open the assistant or language-model settings in your installed version and confirm that it supports an OpenAI-compatible provider with an editable base URL. Do not assume an example from an older release applies.
Add GlideflowAI only through the supported provider surface
If that capability is present, use the standard endpoint, key, and a catalog model ID.
Base URL : https://api.glideflowai.com/v1 API key : sk-your-key Model ID : glm-5.2Keep the first prompt small
Use a non-sensitive file and ask for an explanation or a proposed patch. Validate that model selection, authorization, and streaming behave as expected before expanding scope.
Before you begin: Manual check: confirm Zed's current provider schema and credential storage for your release channel.

Frequently asked questions
Is every Zed build supported?
No. This compatibility label is conditional on the current build exposing the necessary BYOK provider controls.
What URL should I use?
For an OpenAI-compatible configuration, use https://api.glideflowai.com/v1.
Where should I store the key?
Use Zed's supported secret or local credential mechanism; do not commit it to workspace configuration.
Ready to connect Zed Editor?
Create a key, use the setup above, and verify the connection on a small task before you scale it up.
