Zed Delta is a multiplayer coding environment from Zed that lets agents and humans review and build software together in real time. It is designed for engineering teams running AI agents inside their repositories who need a shared, version-aware surface instead of disconnected chat threads and scattered pull requests.
Core Features
- Multiplayer editing where humans and AI agents work in the same buffer simultaneously with live cursors.
- A new take on Git and GitHub built for the AI era, capturing the conversation about code alongside the source.
- Agent review views that show what agents build before a merge, not just the final diff.
- Real-time collaboration with low-latency sync across distributed teams and time zones.
- Built on Zed's Rust core for fast startup, with deep integration into the existing Zed editor.
Use Cases
- Teams running coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor who need shared visibility into agent output.
- Open-source maintainers coordinating contributor and bot pull requests from one place.
- Engineering leads reviewing AI-generated changes without leaving the editor.
Pricing
Zed the editor is free for personal use, with paid Pro and Teams tiers adding shared workspaces and admin controls on a per-seat monthly plan. Delta's multiplayer agent features ship inside Zed's current releases for users on these plans; full pricing details are on Zed's site.
Our Take
Best for teams drowning in agent pull requests who want code and conversation in one place. The trade-off is that it assumes you already live in Zed — if your shop is all VS Code or JetBrains, the switching cost is real. Compare with other AI coding tools.
