By

Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
zot is a lightweight, single-binary terminal coding agent written in Go. It requires no runtime, Docker, or plugin system — just a static binary dropped on the $PATH. It supports a wide range of AI model providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, and many more), offers four built-in tools, three run modes, extensions in any language, and a built-in Telegram bridge. The project is described as minimal, focused on doing the agent loop well, and is in perpetual beta.
