About

Zen is an advanced AI software engineer that can understand high-level human instructions, break them down into steps, research relevant information, and write code to achieve the given objective. utilizes large language models, planning and reasoning algorithms, and web browsing abilities to intelligently develop software. Zen aims to revolutionize the way we build software by providing an AI pair programmer who can take on complex coding tasks with minimal human guidance. Whether you need to create a new feature, fix a bug, or develop an entire project from scratch, is here to assist you.

Note

is modeled after Devin by Cognition AI. This project aims to be an open-source alternative to Devin with an "overly ambitious" goal to meet the same score as Devin in the SWE-bench Benchmarks... and eventually beat it?

Read README.md for the detailed documentation.

Getting Started

Requirements

Version's requirements
  - Python >= 3.10 and < 3.12
  - NodeJs >= 18
  - bun

• Install uv - Python Package manager download
• Install bun - JavaScript runtime download
• For API models, configure the API keys via setting page in UI.

Installation

To install , follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PrateekJannu/Zen.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd Zen

3. Create a virtual environment and install the required dependencies (you can use any virtual environment manager):

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Install the playwright for browsering capabilities:

   playwright install --with-deps # installs browsers in playwright (and their deps) if required

5. Start the server:

   python zen.py

6. if everything is working fine, you see the following output:

   root: INFO   : Zen is up and running!

7. Now, for frontend, open a new terminal and navigate to the ui directory:

   cd ui/
   npm install
   npm run start

8. Access the web interface by opening a browser and navigating to http://127.0.0.1:3001

how to use

To start using , follow these steps:

1. Open the web interface in your browser.
2. To create a project, click on 'select project' and then click on 'new project'.
3. Select the search engine and model configuration for your project.
4. In the chat interface, provide a high-level objective or task description for to work on.
5. will process your request, break it down into steps, and start working on the task.
6. Monitor 's progress, view generated code, and provide additional guidance or feedback as needed.
7. Once completes the task, review the generated code and project files.
8. Iterate and refine the project as desired by providing further instructions or modifications.

Configuration

requires certain configuration settings and API keys to function properly:

when you first time run , it will create a config.toml file for you in the root directory. You can configure the following settings in the settings page via UI:

• API KEYS

  • BING: Your Bing Search API key for web searching capabilities.
  • GOOGLE_SEARCH: Your Google Search API key for web searching capabilities.
  • GOOGLE_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID: Your Google Search Engine ID for web searching using Google.
  • GEMINI: Your Gemini API key for accessing Gemini models.
  • NETLIFY: Your Netlify API key for deploying and managing web projects.

• API_ENDPOINTS

  • BING: The Bing API endpoint for web searching.
  • GOOGLE: The Google API endpoint for web searching.

Make sure to keep your API keys secure and do not share them publicly.
