Create Your First Agent Automation

Agents are tasks that Zo runs for you on a schedule — daily briefings, weekly reports, recurring reminders, whatever you need on autopilot.

Ask Zo to make one

The fastest way — paste something like this in chat:

Prompt

Create an agent that summarizes my unread emails every morning at 8am and texts me a digest

Zo builds the agent, sets the schedule, and activates it. Done.

To open the Agents UI from chat:

Prompt
I want to set up an agent

Or create one manually

Step 1: Open the Agents tab

Click Agents in the left sidebar, or use the prompt above.

Step 2: Write your instruction

Be specific about what the agent should do. Good instructions include:

  • What to do — "Summarize my unread emails"
  • How to format — "As a bullet list, max 5 items"
  • What tone — "Keep it casual and brief"

Example you can paste or adapt:

Prompt

Check my Gmail for unread emails from the last 12 hours. Summarize the top 5 by importance in a short bullet list. Include the sender and a one-line summary for each.

Step 3: Set the schedule

Use the recurrence options to pick when it runs — daily, weekly, hourly, or custom. In chat you can say:

Prompt
Run this every weekday at 7:30am

Step 4: Choose a delivery method

Pick how you want the results — email, SMS, or Telegram. The agent sends its output directly to you.

Step 5: Save and test

Save and activate your agent. Hit Test Run to preview how Zo will respond before the first scheduled run. Tweak the instruction until it's right.

Step 6: Monitor and iterate

After a few runs, review the output. Too verbose? Too vague? Edit the instruction anytime — your agent evolves with you.

Ideas to get started

Try asking Zo to create agents like these:

Prompt

Create a daily agent that sends me a morning briefing: calendar for today, top unread emails, and the weather

Prompt

Create a weekly agent every Monday that summarizes my Linear issues due this week

Prompt

Create an agent that drafts 3 social post ideas every Sunday evening and emails them to me

Prompt

Create a nightly agent that summarizes emails I missed today and texts me a short digest
