Used For

• +**Your React app breaks every time you copy-paste Stack Overflow code** → Describes your project structure and generates code that actually works in your environment
• +**You're spending 4 hours debugging merge conflicts and lint errors** → AI automatically fixes the boring stuff so you can focus on building features
• +**Manual coding tasks eat your entire evening** → Say "build a todo app with dark mode" and get working HTML/CSS/JS in 30 seconds
• +Built-in web search and function calling - connects to APIs and pulls real data without you writing integration code
• +Autonomous slide and poster generation - creates entire presentations from a single prompt

Best For

• >Your weekend side project is stuck at 60% done because writing boilerplate after work is soul-crushing
• >You're debugging the same JavaScript errors for the third hour and questioning your career choices
• >Need a working prototype by Friday but your developer budget is three coffees and a prayer

Not For

• -Enterprise teams needing compliance and security audits — this is a scrappy Chinese startup, not Microsoft
• -Developers who want to understand every line of code — this generates fast, you debug later
• -Teams already happy with GitHub Copilot — similar functionality but different model, not worth switching unless you're budget-conscious

Pairs With

• *VS Code (where you'll paste the generated code and make your tweaks)
• *GitHub (to actually version control the code it spits out)
• *Vercel (to deploy those 5-minute prototypes and show off to clients)
• *Claude (as backup when GLM-4 doesn't understand your weird edge case)
• *Notion (to track which prompts generated the best code for future reference)

The Catch

• !Documentation is thin and mostly in Chinese — you'll figure out features by trial and error
• !No free tier mentioned, so you're paying $3/month even to try it out
• !File upload limits and citation features are unclear — might hit walls with larger projects

Bottom Line

ChatGPT for coding that actually generates working prototypes in minutes, not broken snippets you'll spend hours fixing.
