About Zest
Zest is an AI-productivity companion for developers and engineering teams. Available as Cursor, VS Code and Chrome extensions, Zest automatically tracks AI-assisted coding sessions, detects when youʼre planning well or getting stuck, and offers just-in-time nudges to refocus, clarify prompts, or start a fresh AI context. It generates Slack-ready AI standups and daily “ringsˮ-style reviews summarizing accomplishments and recommended cheatcodes for the next session. The goal: help developers adopt AI best practices, ship higher-quality features faster, and sustain momentum without losing focus.
