Use Zen mode to keep project tools beside your conversation. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other providers; choose Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Pi, or another available harness.
A completed implementation response in Zen beside the Trail Notes browser preview, with two checked trails and a Reset button. Files and Terminal are available in neighboring panel tabs.

An implementation ready for review in Zen, beside the running Trail Notes preview. The conversation, project files, terminal, and browser remain in one workspace.

Follow this workflow in Zen, or explore the provider integrations and agent harnesses. Available models depend on provider access and harness support. A provider connection does not make every model available through every harness.

Install and set up Kisuke

Choose the right desktop download, then sign in, set up Connect, and connect a provider.

Start with Zen mode

Learn the workspace, bring tools beside your chat, and choose your default layout.

Choose your models

Understand providers, harnesses, model selection, and reasoning controls.

Connect a provider

Set up OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other integrations offered in Settings.

Open your project

Choose a device and folder, then inspect the workspace before your first prompt.

Plan and review

Ask for a plan, edit it, and decide when implementation should begin.

​
Work through a change in Zen

New to the workspace? Take a first tour to ask about a project and inspect the answer with Files beside the conversation. Ready to make a change? Follow the implementation walkthrough from an agreed plan through tests, a working preview, and a scoped commit. Keep the conversation and its supporting tools together:
  1. Attach a file or paste reference text and explain the outcome you want.
  2. Review permissions and ask for a plan before implementation.
  3. Read and edit files, run commands in Terminal, and preview a running app in Browser.
  4. Inspect Git changes and stage files. Check the actual result before considering the work finished.
While an agent is working, queue a next step or steer the current request. The selected harness determines how a follow-up can be delivered.

​
Return to earlier work

Find a conversation by project, status, archive view, or device. Rename and pin chats to make them easier to find, or search older archives in Settings. An offline device or missing working folder can prevent a listed conversation from opening. The history guides explain how to distinguish those conditions from a hidden or archived row. Away from your computer? Pair your phone, keep Connect running on the project computer, and find the existing chat on your phone. Continue after checking its latest exchange and project context.

​
Customize your setup

Use Settings and defaults to make Zen your launch layout and adjust the composer. The keyboard reference covers common workspace actions, and the glossary explains how models, harnesses, conversations, goals, and tasks fit together. If your first prompt cannot start, follow Troubleshoot a first message. A visible model selection alone does not confirm that the runtime has accepted it.
