## AI overview

Zed introduces parallel agents that can run in the same window. Its Threads Sidebar lets users manage agent access to folders and repositories, monitor threads, choose agents per thread, work across projects, and isolate worktrees. The release also describes a revised panel layout and connects the feature to Zed's approach of combining human software craftsmanship with AI tools.
