Zoo Code is an AI-coding suite of products designed to take full advantage of the most advanced large-language models and change how you create software at a fundamental level. It's unapologetically powerful and customizable, and it costs more to run than the alternatives because it uses frontier models with actual file system access, terminal control, and multi-step workflows.

Zoo's approach is to trade tokens for quality. If you want the best and most effective AI coding experience available, this is it.

It meets you where you do work (Slack, Github, etc) and allows for large parts of software development to happen entirely away from an IDE.

@@ -42,13 +35,12 @@ The most successful Zoo users tend to embrace the following ideas:

43
36
-**Leverage model agnosticism:** Zoo isn't an LLM model, it needs an [LLM provider](/providers) to work. But it's compatible with dozens of providers and hundreds of models, so you're free to experiment, optimize and switch around, by design. No lock-ins in a world where "the best model" changes every other week.
44
37
-**Don't skimp on tokens:** expensive state-of-the-art models with lots of tokens will almost always beat cheap models using few tokens. Pay attention to your budget, but embrace the fact that tokens are cheaper than developer time.
45
-
-**Trust roles:** The extension's customizable Modes (Architect, Code, etc) and the pre-defined Cloud Agent Types (Planner, Coder, etc) keep the models on track and focused on the task at hand, without stepping outside of their boundaries. Lean on them depending on the task you're working on.
46
-
-**Be ambitious:** Zoo works best the more you trust it. Out-of-the-box, the Extension will ask for your permission to everything, but as you become more comfortable and enable [Auto-Approve](/features/auto-approving-actions), you'll see it work for long periods on its own without getting stuck or making bad decisions. Once ready, throw large, complex projects at the [Orchestrator](/basic-usage/using-modes#orchestrator-mode-aka-boomerang-mode), who will coordinate tasks across Modes. In the Cloud, we handle all of this for you.
