Ziva

Ziva is an AI-powered coding assistant designed specifically for the Godot 4 game engine. It addresses the needs of game developers by automating tasks such as building scene trees, generating GDScript and C code, running tests, and live debugging within the Godot editor. 2 and above and supports Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.

Distinctively, Ziva operates within the context of the Godot editor, allowing it to interpret nodes, signals, and resources directly rather than working with external files. Developers can instruct Ziva to perform actions like adding or reparenting nodes, wiring signals, or editing live scenes. The assistant generates code that is aware of the project's existing scripts, autoloads, and engine version, reducing context-related errors. Ziva also processes debugger errors, script errors, and output logs as they occur, and provides up-to-date documentation references by querying the current Godot API for each request.

Beyond code and scene management, Ziva offers features such as generating sprites and 3D models, editing TileMapLayers, and configuring multiplayer functionality without requiring users to manage servers or netcode. It supports a multiplayer database for high scores and shared state, enabling leaderboards and cloud saves. The tool includes a planning mode that outlines steps for tasks and playtests its own work by interacting with the game and monitoring outputs. Ziva can also take editor screenshots to provide context for visual issues, and it supports voice-to-text prompts for hands-free interaction.

Ziva integrates with local AI models through Ollama or LM Studio, ensuring that code and prompts remain on the user's machine, and can connect to external AI services like Claude or Codex via OAuth. Its architecture includes parallel subagents for handling multiple tasks simultaneously, and an MCP server that exposes its capabilities to other MCP clients. Users can utilize slash commands, reference scene nodes or files directly, and start projects from Godot templates. Pricing ranges from a free Hobby tier with limited access to a Pro plan at $50 per month, with monthly AI usage balances and the option for a free trial period. Ziva is positioned as a specialized AI agent tailored for Godot development, offering capabilities beyond general-purpose AI coding tools.
