ZIZOU docs

Everything you need to run, extend, and understand Zizou — the AI coding agent that lives in your terminal.

Slash Commands

Zizou comes with several built-in slash commands you can use in the chat bar to configure your agent on the fly:

• /keys — Opens an interactive setup screen allowing you to switch AI providers and enter or update your API keys.
• /models — Override the default model for a given provider (e.g. switching from claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620 to another version).
• /context — Displays a panel showing exactly what files the AI currently has in its context window, helping you manage context bloat.

LLM Compatibility

Zizou (Phase 1) is built on top of the Vercel AI SDK, meaning it is provider-agnostic. Out of the box, it supports:

• Anthropic — High-quality reasoning (Claude 3.5 Sonnet). Requires an API key.
• OpenAI — GPT-4o capabilities. Requires an API key.
• Groq — Extremely fast inference for Llama 3 models. Requires an API key.
• Google — Gemini capabilities. Requires an API key.
• OpenRouter — Access a massive ecosystem of models through a single API key.
• Ollama — 100% free, local execution. Ollama exposes an OpenAI-compatible API on http://localhost:11434/v1. Run llama3 locally with no API key.

To connect to any of these, run /keys inside the CLI, or export an environment variable:
