# Code

Zerve's AI agent is aware of the context and working of the canvas, this enables it to work more efficiently and create better results. 

While coding the agent can create add run blocks, add requirements and edges. 

Before starting a coding process, the agent will present you with Milestone, Summary, Required Inputs, Anticipated Future Milestones and Tickets. Post this you can accept this plan or ask the agent to make changes. Once you are satisfied with the plan you can ask the agent to proceed. Each ticket that can be run in parallel will be assigned to a coding agent. If it faces an error, it will work on fixing it. The video below shows an example of how the agent can help with coding.
