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.
