## Overview
Welcome to the **Chat Z.AI Desktop App** repository! This is a modern, fast, and lightweight native Windows desktop application for the Chat Z.AI web experience. It wraps `https://chat.z.ai` using the powerful Tauri v2 framework, leveraging the system's native WebView2 for excellent performance and minimal resource usage.
## Features
- **Native Desktop Experience:** Seamlessly integrated into Windows as a standalone application.
- **Lightweight & Fast:** Built with Tauri v2 and Rust, meaning a tiny executable size and minimal memory overhead compared to traditional Electron apps.
- **Easy Installation:** Includes a fully automated NSIS Windows installer that sets up the application and desktop shortcuts.
## Repository Contents
