Zo is a new kind of computer. It’s a personal server, where you can store your files, and connect your tools. And it’s intelligent, so you can ask it to do research, create automations, and build apps on top of your personal context. You can access your Zo:
  • In your browser
  • In our desktop app
  • (Soon) In our iOS app
You can talk to your Zo:
  1. In the Zo application
  2. By emailing your Zo’s email
  3. By texting your Zo’s number
You can also ask Zo to email or text you. What you can do with Zo:
  • Explore – Craft your personal AI. Zo can browse the web, edit your files, and connect to your apps.
  • Automate – Write workflows in natural language for Zo to execute. Run on a schedule, or when triggered by events.
  • Create – Use AI to make anything: documents, images, videos, websites. All hosted on your personal server.
  • Host – Files, websites, APIs, even self-hosted services like n8n. Every user gets 100GB of free storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

​
Basics

On Zo, you can choose between all the leading AI models. Zo includes:
  • A large selection of language models – which can use all of Zo’s tools to help you get things done.
  • Built-in models for transcription (converting speech in audio files to text), image generation, and video generation.
We rigorously evaluate models to ensure we offer the best models in each modality (with a preference for providers that are both fast and high-quality).
Zo supports working with most file formats, including notes, spreadsheets, code, word documents, audio and video files, images, PDFs, and Ebooks.If a file can’t be edited directly in the file browser, you can ask Zo to edit or convert the file in the chat. Because Zo has full access to the computer and can install tools as needed, you may be surprised by what Zo is able to handle.
Yes! All Zo users – including those on the free plan – get 100GB of storage on their personal server.
Yes – we perform regular “snapshots” of your computer, storing the entire state of your computer at a point in time. On the Zo System page, you can restore your computer to any point in time.
In addition to built-in integrations with Notion, Google Calendar, Gmail, and more, Zo can build its own integration with many apps, tools, and services. Zo can research the web to find the best way to integrate any service, write code to build the integration, and walk you through the process of getting developer credentials.Once Zo has built an integration, you can simply tell Zo to use it. This approach enables similar “AI plugin” functionality to MCP, but is much more flexible and powerful.There’s a whole universe of software out there, and with Zo’s help, you can explore and leverage any of it to do practically anything on your Zo Computer. The only limit is your imagination – and your determination.

Comparisons

Zo is a fully-featured AI workspace that lets you chat with all the leading AI models alongside your files. It’s much easier to stay organized when using Zo because you can create folders, summarize AI conversations into notes, ask AI to write and run code, and even host websites and services.
Zapier and n8n are automation tools that let you build workflows using a visual, node-based programming interface. n8n is open-source and self-hostable, which means you can run it on your Zo Computer. Our Prompt Library includes a prompt to install n8n.Zo provides an interface for building workflows using natural language – English, or your language of choice. You can create “Prompts” for your Zo by just writing them in plain text, referencing other files, Zo’s tools, and other prompts. Many of the same automations you can build in tools like Zapier or n8n are easy to build in Zo, and the ceiling of what you can accomplish is much higher.
Web-based vibe coding sites like Lovable, Replit, Bolt, and v0 are excellent for building prototype UIs, landing pages, and simple websites. However, these tools are:
  1. Oriented around “projects”. It isn’t easy to share context between multiple projects, or incorporate context from your other files.
  2. Focused on building websites. But the world of programming is much larger than just websites!
  3. Lock you into their “cookie-cutter” way of building software on their platform, which is often more complex than necessary. Many apps and websites can be built using much simpler technologies and less code.
Zo is the best place to build personal software and tools. It’s different because:
  1. Projects built on Zo can interact with the files and programs on your computer, incorporating context from all your projects. Your personal apps can also interact with your AI using an internal API, enabling you to build custom interfaces for any workflow you can imagine.
  2. Zo sites come with technology choices that are much more simple and minimal than other tools. For example, rather than using a full-fledged database provider, you can simply store data to a file on your server.
  3. Zo is designed to be a general-purpose computing environment, not just a website builder. You can build scripts, automations, data analysis environments, even self-host open-source software… On Zo, the whole world of computing is your oyster.
Zo is a dedicated computer for AI. Giving AI unconstrained access to a dedicated cloud computer is a powerful paradigm. Our approach is safer than giving AI full access to your own computer or your browser, because you have more control over what you are giving your AI access to as you build your AI system.On Zo, your AI has access to its own browser, which you can use to sign into sites you want Zo to access. Zo cannot currently take actions in its browser. We’re evaluating techniques for AI browser use, and plan to add this capability when it is more fast and reliable.
Many Zo users use Zo as a “second-brain”, collecting and collaborating on notes with AI.Zo is more powerful than notetaking-focused apps because it’s a general-purpose computing environment. You can use Zo to create and edit all kinds of files, write and run code, build automations, and even host websites and services.You can easily connect Zo to your Notion, Google Drive, or Dropbox using our built-in integrations. For other services that provide a developer API, you can ask Zo to help you build a custom integration.By setting up file syncing, you can access local files on your computer in your Zo workspace. This enables integrating your Zo with your Obsidian notes, or any other app that stores its data locally on your computer.

Instances of your Zo computer moves around based on capacity. In general placements are in the USA. In the future, we will locate servers as close as we can to your primary physical location.You can learn more about our server specifications on our pricing page.
Zo uses a unique architecture where your data is primarily stored on your own personal server.We intentionally choose non-proprietary file formats and open-source technologies for all of the components behind Zo. The Zo application, AI memories, and many of the internal services powering your Zo experience are hosted on your server.We snapshot your computer regularly, which means you can always roll back to a previous version, or download your entire computer as a container image.
