From the idea to the playtest
An agent that works
inside your game.
Your project is more than its code. Ziva works with the scenes, nodes, signals, and runtime behavior that make a game, keeping the work close to the editor.
01
Build with project context
Ask for a new mechanic or a scene change. Ziva reads your scripts and scene tree, writes GDScript or C#, and connects nodes, resources, and signals in the editor.
Explore the Godot agent02
Debug where the error happens
Describe the problem in your own words. Ziva can read editor errors, inspect the running scene, and show you its code changes to review.
See the editor tools03
Playtest what you build
Run the game and ask Ziva to test a flow. The Playtest Agent uses screenshots and game input to check behavior and report what it finds. Available on Pro and Ultra.

A developer’s workflow · Godot
From a performance question to smoother play.
Jody Mitoma shared how he used Ziva to improve Beat Boxy, the 3D rhythm runner he’s building at JoMito Games.
01 · The request
Find what’s slowing the game down
Jody asked which systems in his levels used the most memory, CPU, and GPU power, and how to make them more efficient on less powerful devices.
02 · The changes
Spend less work on unchanged visuals
The change report he shared describes reducing repeated rendering for static collectible gems and avoiding unnecessary HUD recalculations.
03 · The creator’s check
A smoother game after the changes
After using the changes, Jody reported that the game ran “even smoother than it already was.” This is his experience with Beat Boxy, which is still in development.

Built for the Godot workflow
Why Not Just Use Cursor or Copilot?
An AI plugin for Godot can work with the running editor as well as your code. Ziva gives LLMs access to scenes, nodes, signals, and game input through its built-in editor tools.

discord“The amount of work I got done with Ziva for just $25 out of $60 in tokens spent so far (for the $20 plan) is absolutely mind blowing. I love you guys & gals, devs! Will be crediting you all by name in my game's credits!”
ImJody
discord“Windsurf/Cursor is great and all, but they can't actually create nodes; they can only do code, so not being able to see visually what they're doing in the editor is kinda shyt for future editing. I miss Ziva!”
ImJody
discord“I just canceled my Claude subscription.”
YoungGod
discord“I asked it to add 60 equipment pieces at the same time which completely eluded the capabilities of every AI agent I tried except Ziva. Ziva did it in one prompt.”

discordFits the way you work
A full agent built for Godot - local models, an MCP server, and a composer made for fast prompting.
Local & bring-your-own models
Run a model through Ollama or LM Studio at no cost - model inference stays on your machine. Other connected features may use online services. Or connect an existing Claude or Codex subscription over OAuth, with Fast Mode for lower latency.
Parallel subagents
Ziva hands independent steps to subagents that run in parallel, so big jobs finish without waiting on one task at a time.
MCP server
A one-click MCP server exposes Ziva's Godot tools to any MCP client, so Claude Desktop, Cursor, or your own agent can read your scene tree, edit nodes, and drive the editor.
Slash commands & skills
Type / in the composer to run a built-in command, a skill, or a custom command you've defined.
Reference anything
Type $ to point Ziva at a scene node, or @ to pull a file or folder into the conversation - stop describing what it can already see.
Voice to text
Press the mic and dictate your prompt instead of typing it.
Hosted multiplayer
Connect players through Ziva’s hosted relay and store shared game state for leaderboards and cloud saves.
Game analytics
Add telemetry to your game and inspect player activity in a hosted dashboard.
Godot templates to start from
Fork open starter projects like Godotcraft - a multiplayer voxel sandbox written mostly by the agent - and build on a working base instead of an empty scene.

Compare your optionsFrequently asked
What does Ziva do inside Godot?
Ziva is an AI development agent for Godot. It reads your scene tree and scripts, writes GDScript and C#, edits scenes and nodes, inspects editor errors, and helps test your game in the editor. It works on your game project, including code and behavior, as well as assets.
Is Ziva free?
Yes. The Hobby plan includes $3 of AI usage each month. Download Ziva and create an account to start. Paid plans offer more usage and capabilities; the Playtest Agent is available on Pro and Ultra.
What Godot version and operating system do I need?
Ziva supports Godot 4.2 or later on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Which AI models can I use?
Ziva currently offers Gemini 3.8 Flash, Claude Haiku 4.5, Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5, GPT 6 Astra, GPT 5.6 Luna, GPT 5.6 Terra, GPT 5.6 Sol, Grok 4.6, Minimax M3, Kimi K3, Kimi K3 Turbo, GLM 5.3 Flash, GLM 5.3, Ziva Free, and Deepseek v4 Pro.
Can I use my own Claude or Codex subscription?
Yes. Connect a supported Claude Code or ChatGPT Codex subscription in Ziva Settings. This works on every Ziva plan, including free Hobby. Requests use your provider subscription’s allowance instead of your included Ziva AI usage. Learn how to connect your existing subscription.
Can I run models locally?
Yes. Install Ollama or LM Studio, start its local server, and select a detected model in Ziva. Inference runs on your computer and does not use your included Ziva AI usage. Set up a local model.
Does Ziva train AI on my code?
No. Ziva never uses your code to train AI models and does not store your prompts, code, or project data from AI requests on its servers. If you choose a cloud model, the provider processes the context sent for your task under its own data retention terms. Read the privacy policy.
Does Ziva write and run tests?
Yes. Ziva can generate and run script tests through Godot testing tools. Its Playtest Agent can also run the game, send input, inspect screenshots, and report what it observes. Review its findings as part of your own testing process.
Does Ziva work with Unity or Unreal?
Godot is available to download now. Unity and Unreal Engine are offered through enterprise engagements. Contact our team to discuss your studio’s workflows and requirements.
Can I use Ziva from Claude Desktop or Cursor?
Yes. After installation, Ziva’s local MCP server exposes Godot tools to compatible MCP clients. These tools can read the scene tree, edit nodes, and drive the editor. Ziva does not host a remote MCP endpoint.
Where can I see games made with Ziva?
Railroad Rummy by Aterx Hobby is a multiplayer card game available in Steam Early Access. Beat Boxy by JoMito Games is a 3D rhythm runner in development, with Ziva helping build and optimize its levels. Join our Discord server to see more games and community projects.
Can Ziva help publish my game?
