What is zilix?
zilix is an agentic coding control plane for MedTech software teams. It turns the AI coding agents you already use into a coordinated, governed team — gated by signed policy, approved by a human, and logged to a tamper-evident audit trail. One prompt becomes parallel agent sessions, steerable from your phone, tablet, or laptop. Keys stay local.

01What is zilix?+
zilix is an agentic coding control plane for MedTech software teams. It orchestrates multiple AI coding agents in parallel under signed policy and human approval gates, splits one task across coordinated agents, routes each piece to the right model, and keeps the work collision-free and logged to a tamper-evident audit trail — while you steer and approve from your phone, tablet, or laptop.
02How is zilix different from Cursor, Claude Code, or Windsurf?+
Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf help one agent work. zilix is the layer above them: it makes a whole team of agents work together — deciding what runs in parallel, which model takes each piece, and what context every agent gets.
03Is zilix faster than a single coding agent?+
Yes. In zilix's internal benchmark (same task, same model, 2026), a coordinated zilix fleet finished in 45 seconds versus 111 seconds for a single serial agent and 81 seconds for blind parallelism — with zero file collisions.
04How much does zilix reduce token usage?+
A coordinated zilix run used 346k tokens versus 1.28M for blind parallel agents — 73% fewer — on the same task and model. Curated per-agent context also cut tokens 40–50% versus cold starts, at identical correctness.
05Which AI models and providers does zilix support?+
zilix supports 12+ providers across three connection types: AI CLIs (Aider, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini), direct APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Together), and local models (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM). You bring your own models.
06Do my API keys pass through zilix servers?+
No. Your API keys stay 100% local to your machine — nothing routes through zilix servers. zilix wires your agents directly to each provider, whether you connect through a CLI, a direct API, or a local model.
07What platforms does zilix run on?+
zilix runs on macOS, iOS, and Android during the closed beta. One session follows you across phone, tablet, and laptop: the same thread, diffs, terminal, and server status appear on every device you've paired.
08Can I control zilix agents from my phone?+
Yes. Every zilix session is live on every paired device. From your phone you can watch the agent swarm, re-scope or steer individual agents, approve diffs, and merge — while the heavy work runs on your desktop machine.
09How does zilix prevent file collisions between parallel agents?+
zilix proposes the work split itself: genuinely independent work runs in parallel, and tightly-coupled work stays serial so agents never touch the same files. In benchmarks, coordinated zilix produced zero collisions versus three for blind parallelism.
10What is blind parallelism, and why avoid it?+
Blind parallelism means launching agents on the same task with no coordination. In zilix's benchmark it consumed 5.7× the tokens of a single serial agent, caused three file collisions, and delivered no reliable speed gain over coordination.
11Does zilix replace the coding agents I already use?+
No. zilix sits one layer above your existing agents. It wires into the AI coding CLI you already use — Aider, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and more — plus any OpenAI-compatible API or a model on your own machine.
12Does zilix work with local models like Ollama?+
Yes. zilix connects to local models through Ollama, LM Studio, and vLLM today. Local runtimes get the same orchestration as cloud models: parallel sessions, curated context, project memory, and collision-free coordination — with everything staying on your machine.
13How does zilix decide which model handles each task?+
The zilix orchestrator routes each piece of work to the model you've trusted for it. It knows when to split work, which model should take it, and what context each agent actually needs to keep the whole project coherent.
14Is zilix available to download right now?+
zilix is in closed beta as of July 2026, with clients for macOS, iOS, and Android. Request access with your email at
zilix.app/download — the team emails you the moment your spot opens.
15How do I contact the zilix team?+
Email
zilixide@gmail.com or use the support page at
zilix.app/support for help, bug reports, and closed-beta access questions. zilix is also on X (@zilix_app) and LinkedIn (zilix-app) for product updates.
16Is zilix HIPAA, SOC 2, or FDA compliant?+
Not yet, and we won't claim otherwise. zilix ships signed tool-governance policies, human approval gates on agent actions, and a hash-chained, checkpoint-signed audit log today — real building blocks for auditable development, not a certification. There's no SOC 2, HIPAA, or FDA claim, and no PHI-specific data handling. See
zilix.app/security for the full, honest breakdown of what's real and what isn't yet.
