Clide is a native macOS terminal with an AI pair-developer built into the side panel. Split panes into a 6×6 grid, drag files from Finder or the screenshot HUD into the AI chat, and let the agent read your scrollback, open files in preview, or type commands into any pane it chooses — with your confirmation. Voice input, workspace memory, adaptive theming, and a zero-telemetry privacy policy. Built on SwiftTerm with AppKit + SwiftUI. No Electron. No tracking. Just a faster loop.

Hugging FaceFor one slice of our backend we needed a fast, cheap chat model with strong Chinese-language output, and Z.ai's hosted GLM endpoint gave us sub-second latency without the cold-start or quota friction of self-hosted Hugging Face Inference Endpoints. Hugging Face is unbeatable for model discovery and fine-tuning experiments; Z.ai wins for "one endpoint, known SLA, done."

Slight twist on this one — Paean is our own platform, and Clide's agent actually runs through Paean to reach Claude. We use Claude (Opus and Sonnet) as the reasoning engine because its tool-use and long-context behavior set the bar for agentic workflows; Paean is the layer that gives each user their own memory, credits, MCP tool routing, and conversation history on top of it. So it's not Claude over Paean — it's Claude inside Paean, and that combination is what makes Clide feel less like a chatbot and more like a coworker.

CursorClide is a terminal app — so the dev loop that built it had to be terminal-native too. Claude Code runs right inside the shells I already had open, drives long-running tasks without stealing focus, and composes with any editor instead of locking me into one. Cursor is great if your center of gravity is the editor; mine is the terminal, and Claude Code matched that shape exactly. It also turned out to be the best dogfood possible — the more I used Claude Code to build Clide, the more obvious the design of Clide's own embedded agent became.
