Zhipu's open-source workbench for running AI agents on a codebase
Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
It suits developers who want an agent to agree a written plan first and to touch files only through one permission-checked Lua sandbox.
Imza is a terminal coding agent written in C++ that splits work into three modes: draft a spec with the agent, let it build, then annotate the diff and send notes back as revisions. Its only tool is a Lua sandbox, so every file or shell action passes a permission check. It starts in a few megabytes of memory, speaks to 50-plus providers including local models, supports MCP and skills, and installs via Homebrew or prebuilt packages for Linux and Windows. No account, no telemetry.
