Zero is a terminal-based AI coding agent written in Go that can inspect repositories, edit files, run commands, and manage durable local sessions. It supports 25+ LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, etc.) with configurable permission and sandbox policies, plus a scriptable `zero exec` mode for CI.

Use cases

  • run an AI coding agent in my terminal with my own model
  • automate fixing failing tests via a scriptable CLI agent
  • use a coding agent with local Ollama models
  • keep AI coding sessions stored locally without telemetry
  • extend a coding agent with MCP servers and subagents

When to choose

  • you want full control over which LLM provider and permission level your coding agent uses
  • you need a scriptable, CI-friendly agent with JSON/stream output and exit codes
  • you prefer local session storage and no telemetry

When to avoid

  • you want a GUI or IDE-integrated coding assistant
  • you need a fully managed cloud agent with no local setup
