What AI agents can do with Z.AI 12 Multimodal Content Tools
Generate images, videos, parse documents, and search the web using Z.AI's multimodal suite.
Agent chat
Run specialized agents for translation, slide generation, or special effects videos. It handles complex requests like creating a whole slide deck from a prompt.
Audio transcription
Turn .wav or .mp3 files into text with support for specific hotwords. It's great for getting accurate notes from meetings or recordings.
Chat completion
Get responses from GLM models with support for images, audio, and video inputs. It lets your agent handle multimodal prompts in a single step.
Get conversation history
Pull back past results from your slide and poster agent sessions. This is useful for keeping track of previous content you've generated.
Generate image async
Start long-running image generation tasks and get a task ID to check back later. Use this for high-quality images that take a few seconds to render.
Generate image
Create high-quality images from text prompts with specific size and quality controls. It gives you direct URLs for images based on your description.
Generate video
Create videos from text, images, or frames using CogVideoX or Vidu models. It handles text-to-video and image-to-video tasks for you.
Get async result
Check the status of an image or video task and grab the final URL. You use this to see when your generation is finished and get the file.
Layout parsing
Extract text and bounding boxes from PDFs and images into clean markdown. It keeps the structure of your documents intact for easier reading.
Tokenize
Count tokens for text, images, and videos to manage your context window and costs. It helps you see exactly how much space your prompts are taking up.
Web reader
Turn any URL into clean markdown or text with metadata. It lets your agent read a website and summarize it without you having to copy-paste.
Web search
Search the internet for summaries, titles, and URLs with a specific time range. It helps your agent find current information to back up its answers.
One MCP enables access. Vinkius turns MCPs into production-ready infrastructure.
You're looking at one of 5,800+ managed MCPs. The real value isn't the catalog. It's the control plane that secures, governs, audits, and manages every interaction between your agents and the tools they use.
No Shadow AI
Every agent action is visible, approved, and auditable. Nothing runs outside your governance.
Absolute agent control
Fine-grained permissions for every agent, MCP, and tool. Instantly revoke access and audit every execution.
Cost control per token
Spend broken down to the token, tool, and agent. Budgets and hard limits. No surprise invoices.
Managed & monitored infra
We operate the runtime, authentication, scaling, retries, and monitoring. Your team manages AI, not infrastructure.
Data protection, DLP by design
Sensitive data is filtered before reaching the model. Access is governed so agents receive only the information they're allowed to use.
Token optimization, real savings
Lower AI costs by delivering the right context instead of unnecessary tools. Better accuracy, faster responses, and fewer wasted tokens.
Z.AI for Automating Content Production
Z.AI is for content creators who need to produce high-quality media quickly, data analysts who deal with messy documents, and product teams building multimodal features.
Content Creator
Makes social media videos and slide decks by describing them in a chat window.
Data Analyst
Extracts tables and text from 50-page PDFs to build research reports.
Product Manager
Prototypes new AI features by asking the agent to call Z.AI APIs via natural language.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get my Z.AI API key? +
Visit the Z.AI API Keys page to create or manage your API key. Once created, copy it and paste it into the API key field in the setup wizard. The key is used as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for all API requests.
Which Z.AI models are available? +
The MCP supports all Z.AI models: GLM-5.2, GLM-5.1, GLM-5-Turbo, GLM-4.7, GLM-4.7-flash, GLM-4.6, GLM-4.5 series for chat; GLM-Image and CogView-4 for image generation; CogVideoX-3 and Vidu for video generation; GLM-ASR-2512 for audio transcription; GLM-OCR for layout parsing; and search-prime for web search.
Can my AI generate images and videos? +
Yes! Use generate_image for synchronous image generation (returns URLs immediately), or generate_image_async for long-running tasks (returns a task ID — use get_async_result to retrieve). For video, use generate_video which always runs asynchronously — call get_async_result with the returned task ID to check status and get the video URL when complete.
Does the Z.AI MCP support multimodal inputs? +
Yes. The chat_completion tool supports multimodal inputs including text, images (image_url), video (video_url), and files (file_url) when using vision models like GLM-5V-Turbo. Pass the full messages array as JSON with the appropriate content types. The layout_parsing tool also supports both image and PDF inputs for OCR.
What is the base URL for Z.AI API calls? +
All Z.AI API calls are sent to https://api.z.ai/api. The engine automatically appends the correct path prefix (e.g. /paas/v4/ for platform APIs, /v1/ for agent APIs). When using the GLM Coding Plan, you may need to configure a dedicated endpoint — refer to the Z.AI documentation for details.
Can I use the Z.AI agents for translation and slide generation? +
Yes. The agent_chat tool supports three agent types: general_translation (multilingual translation with 40+ languages, auto-detection, glossary support), slides_glm_agent (one-click slide/poster generation from natural language), and vidu_template_agent (special effects video generation). After running the slides agent, use get_conversation_history with the conversation_id to retrieve generated file URLs.
Is there a rate limit on Z.AI APIs? +
Yes, Z.AI enforces rate limits that vary by model and subscription tier. Check the Z.AI Rate Limits page for your specific limits. If you exceed the rate limit, the API returns an error and the engine surfaces the error message. For high-volume use cases, consider using async endpoints and spacing out requests.
Your AI, connected to everything.
