If you're interested in using AI to make your game development faster (which, lets be real, many people are), Ziva is here to make your life much easier!

Ziva brings LLMs directly into the sidebar of Godot - They see all your files, have full project understanding, can edit, debug and more.

Features:

• Use natural language to write code
• Supports building scenes, editing node properties
• Generates sprites, 3D models
• Debug errors, get answers to any Godot-related questions
• Choose your LLM - we support Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Minimax and more

Ziva has been under development since 2025 and is the most advanced Godot AI out there. Try it today! 

I know some people hate AI in game development, but the reality is, people are already copy-pasting from ChatGPT. Ziva is simply the next generation of that. Feedback/feature suggestions welcome!

Update: Ziva 2.3.0 is live!

Two big things:

1. Undo button. Ziva snapshots your files before every change now. If it breaks something, one click to revert. Makes it way less scary to let the AI make edits.
2. Free tier is better. The Hobby plan model got upgraded to GPT Mini — noticeably better code quality than before. Still free, still no credit card needed.

Other highlights:

• New search_godot_docs tool so Ziva checks the real docs instead of hallucinating method names
• New run_tests tool to run your test suites from chat
• Message queuing - send follow-up messages while Ziva is still generating
• Ton of Windows fixes (copy/paste, installer issues, keyboard focus stealing)
• Fixed a bug where edit_file would say it succeeded but not actually write anything
