Zulu: An AI Autonomous Coding Agent by Baidu Wenxin KuaimaIntroduction
What is Zulu?
Zulu is an AI-powered coding agent launched by Baidu's Comate. It provides developers with an end-to-end code generation service from requirements to code. It can autonomously understand coding requirements, accurately break down tasks, and break through the limitations of a single file to achieve cross-module, cross-directory system-level code generation.

Zulu Main Features
End-to-end Code Generation: Directly converts natural language descriptions of development requirements into runnable code, supporting multiple programming languages and frameworks.
Intelligent Understanding and Task Decomposition: Autonomously understands coding requirements and supports custom context. Developers can specify files, directories, or terminal output as context to generate code that better matches their requirements.
Multi-file Editing and Management: Quickly builds complete project structures, edits multiple files simultaneously, and improves development efficiency.
One-Click Acceptance of Code Changes: After code is generated, a streaming output shows the comparison between the original code and the optimized code. Developers can accept changes file by file or in batches.
Tool Invocation: Supports quickly locating relevant code snippets, automatically editing and saving code, and can also invoke execution command tools to verify code accuracy.
Real-time Preview: After code is generated, a preview link is provided so you can view the application effect in real time in the browser.
Multimodal Interaction: Supports screenshot input to automatically analyze image content and identify requirements.
How to Use Zulu
1. Custom Context
Steps:
Click the "+" above the input box or type "#".
Enter file keywords to search.
Select the desired file from the list.
Enter your requirement.
Purpose: By specifying files, directories, or terminal output as context, ensure that the generated code better matches your requirements.
2. Multi-file Editing
Features:
Build a complete project from 0 to 1, including creating all new files in the project.
Edit multiple files based on a complete understanding of an existing project.
Operations:
After entering requirements, the agent will generate or modify multiple files based on the requirements.
3. One-Click Acceptance of Code Changes
Features:
After the model generates code, it displays a streaming comparison between the original code and the optimized code.
Developers can choose to accept changes file by file or in batches.
Operations:
View the code comparison.
Click "Accept" to apply the changes, or click "Discard" to clear the changes.
4. Run Commands
Features:
During the code generation process, if commands need to be run to verify code accuracy, the agent can invoke execution command tools.
Operations:
Manually click "Run" for execution confirmation.
Invoke the execution tool to run the command.
Continue executing subsequent generation tasks.
