ChatGLM

What it does

ChatGLM, from Zhipu AI (Z.ai), is a polished assistant with strong bilingual output and a growing set of agent features — file analysis, web browsing and task execution in one thread.

The consumer product is free to use; the GLM API behind it is a serious option for teams building on Chinese infrastructure. Video calls with an AI agent are among its newer tricks.
