Announcing Zotto: A context-aware AI pair programmer built for Xojo

Would be very interested to test it with my exisiting local Mac Studio M4pro LLM setup. It looks very promising and sort of what we’ve been waiting for. So: yes please, count me in. Arjen

Zotto looks exactly like what I’ve been missing in my daily Xojo workflow — something that can actually “see” the project context instead of treating everything like isolated snippets.

I’d love to join the beta and put it through real-world use. For testing, I already have paid accounts with Gemini, OpenAI, and Claude, so I can help compare behavior across providers and report any differences I notice (quality, latency, edge cases, etc.).

If you’re still adding testers, feel free to add me to the list and let me know the next steps (download/build, setup, and what kind of feedback format you prefer).

Thanks,
José Luis

This is super cool. I’ve actually been using Cursor as my main AI tool to work with Xojo code and am super happy with it, but I would love to play with something like this too. Looks pretty cool.

Just an update for those not on the beta. I’ve been getting loads of really positive and helpful feedback from the testers which is definitely making Zotto better. My favourite was a bug that I was able to use Zotto to fix itself!

I think I’m approaching feature freeze for version 1. Just going to give the beta testers a bit more time to make sure it’s polished whilst I solve a few issues with Fastspring and get Sparkle integrated.

Am hoping to push out for general release ASAP. 100% of my development focus is on Zotto.

Absolutely, count me in. I use AI extensively and anything to speed things up and reduce fixing the AI will be an enormous help. Thanks, William OKeefe

Garry that looks awesome, I would love to BETA test if you still have room for testers.

Hi there, would love to test this too, given that it works on Linux because I’m one of those Nerds that only uses Linux…

Thanks Jay for the interest and welcome to the Xojo forum.

We’re close to release (mostly working on the website and licensing at the moment).

Any details on license model / cost? Hoping for a flat purchase-per-year and not subscription :slight_smile:

Yes. No subscriptions - I hate them too.

It’ll be a flat fee for a year of updates. You can then use the app forever after your license expires but will lose access to updates (new features, bug fixes, etc).

Hi all,

I have just pushed out what I hope is the final beta before version 1.0 to the testers.

The website is almost built (few screenshots and links need updating).

Once I get feedback from the beta testers and FastSpring (my payment processor) activates my store, I will make a formal announcement :slight_smile:

Well Claude Code linked to GitHub repo’s does this, and does it fairly well, massive timesaver but expensive if you use it heavily…

This project does look very interesting, as everyone else here keen to try it and see how it compares to Claude Code.

Love the idea! I’m very keen to test it out, once released! :crossed_fingers:

For everyone interested in Zotto, you might want to sign up on this issue too:

Pasting items from Zotto to the IDE needs a few improvements in the IDE that are listed in that issue.

Very interesting, let me give a try.

V1 is ready to go. Just waiting on FastSpring (my payment processor) to get their act together so I can sell it!
