Zencoder drops Zenflow, a free AI orchestration tool that pits Claude against OpenAI’s models to catch coding errors

Zencoder, the Silicon Valley startup that builds AI-powered coding agents, released a free desktop application on Monday that it says will fundamentally change how software engineers interact with artificial intelligence — moving the industry beyond the freewheeling era of "vibe coding" toward a more disciplined, verifiable approach to AI-assisted development.

The product, called Zenflow, introduces what the company describes as an "AI orchestration layer" that coordinates multiple AI agents to plan, implement, test, and review code in structured workflows. The launch is Zencoder's most ambitious attempt yet to differentiate itself in an increasingly crowded market dominated by tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and coding agents built directly by AI giants Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google.

"Chat UIs were fine for copilots, but they break down when you try to scale," said Andrew Filev, Zencoder's chief executive, in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat. "Teams are hitting a wall where speed without ...
