GLM (Z.ai)Tool Switching in Composer
GLM (Z.ai) composer: Magic Design, Full-Stack, and Write Code pills; Search vs Advanced Search; GLM-4.7 through 5.2; Deep Think Max; separate Agent home with Discord/Lark/WeChat.
GLM-4.7 home with What can I build for you, empty bar, and Magic Design / Full-Stack / Write Code pills.
What's happening
GLM (Z.ai) treats the composer as a builder. GLM-4.7 uses three job pills that rewrite the gallery. Search depth hides behind the globe. GLM-5.2 replaces those pills with artifact categories and Deep Think Max. Agent is a second home with chat-app connectors.
Patterns
Outcome pills and category chips rewrite the gallery; Agent is a separate connector home
Versioned GLM list with NEW badge; High/Max thinking on the flagship bar
Search vs Advanced Search as nested single-round vs multi-round policy
Mode and category chips swap featured artifacts instead of prompt rows
UX Insights
- •Headline asks what to build, not what to ask
- •GLM-4.7 and GLM-5.2 homes use different pill systems
- •Advanced Search is a blue globe, not a removable chip
- •Deep Think appears only after switching to GLM-5.2
- •Agent Connect for Discord is paste-a-bot-token, not OAuth
Design Decisions
GLM (Z.ai) splits chat into a builder composer and an Agent connector storefront, then uses the version switch to relaunch the home around artifacts and Deep Think.
