Zo vs Poly
Poly is an intelligent cloud file browser that uses AI to search, organize, and understand your files. Upload documents, images, audio, and video – then find anything with natural language queries or even image searches.
The tagline says it well: "A file browser that actually understands your files, down to the page, paragraph, or pixel."
It's a fresh take on AI-powered file management. But there's a key difference between Poly and Zo.
Poly is a file browser. Zo includes a file browser, but gives you the whole computer.
File Browser vs. Computer
Poly is an excellent file browser. It makes finding, organizing, and understanding files dramatically easier.
But it's fundamentally a storage and browsing layer. You upload files, you browse files, you search files.
Zo is a computer. Yes, it has files. But it also:
Runs code
Hosts websites and services
Executes automations 24/7
Builds and deploys projects
Sends emails and texts
Connects to APIs and services
Poly helps you manage the files you have.
Zo helps you manage your files, and build anything on top of them.
The Ownership Question
Poly stores files in their cloud. You can sync to desktop and work offline.
Zo stores files on your own personal server.
Both offer ways to access files locally. But with Zo, your files are fundamentally yours – located on your own server, not stored in a centralized, proprietary system.
