ChatGLM (Zhipu Qingyan) is an AI assistant launched by Zhipu AI based on its self-developed ChatGLM large language model, officially released on August 31, 2023. Running the GLM-4 bilingual dialogue model and deeply optimized for Chinese-language scenarios, it offers smart conversation, content creation, information extraction, and other full-spectrum AI services.

Key Features

• Smart conversation and Q&A: Supports multi-turn dialogue and general Q&A, with deep thinking and information extraction capabilities
• Document and image parsing: Reads PDF, Word, Excel, and other document formats, plus image understanding and analysis
• Content creation tools: Creative writing, code generation (100+ programming languages), AI painting, video generation (Qingying), and PPT creation
• Custom agents (GLMs): Create personalized AI assistants through text configuration with no coding experience, with built-in web search, AI painting, code interpreter, and other capabilities
• Knowledge base management: Supports uploading up to 100 files into a knowledge base of 5 million characters total

Use Cases For content creation, self-media writers can use ChatGLM to quickly draft articles or social media copy; in education and learning, students can use document reading to quickly distill key points from academic materials; in software development, programmers can boost coding efficiency with code generation.

Unique Advantages ChatGLM's most notable trait is being completely free and open to all, combined with excellent multimodal capabilities. Its GLM-4 model approaches GPT-4 in overall performance, with clear advantages in Chinese understanding and generation tasks. The built-in Qingying video generation feature and the visual GLMs agent builder further lower the barrier to adopting AI.
