For Writers
Handles the research, the files, the website, and the deadlines. You handle the sentences.
Try Zo freeYou already know how to write. The problem is everything else: the three hours you spent last week hunting for that article about tidal patterns you bookmarked somewhere, the author website you haven't updated since your last publication, the newsletter you keep meaning to start, the submission deadline you missed because it was buried in a browser tab.
Notes in one app, drafts in another, research bookmarks scattered across three browsers, a website on one platform, a newsletter on another. You don't need another AI writing assistant. You need something that handles the chaos around the writing so you can sit down and do the one thing you're actually good at. Zo is an AI research assistant and publishing tool for writers. It handles the infrastructure. You handle the sentences.
Research that keeps up with your questions
Give Zo a research task and get a summary with sources in minutes. It searches the web, reads pages, cross-references sources, and gives you something you can work from. Not a list of links.
All your files in one place
Drafts, notes, research, outlines, character sheets, revision histories. Tell Zo your project structure and it creates and manages it. Zo remembers your projects, your naming conventions, and your file structure across every conversation.
Your author website, updated in a message
You finished a new essay. Zo works as your author website builder. Tell it to publish and it's live in 60 seconds. Need a new bio page, a portfolio update, or a page for your latest book? Describe what you want and Zo builds it.
Email and newsletters without the overhead
Connect your email in under a minute. Zo reads your threads, drafts replies that match your voice, and queues them for review. Want to start that newsletter? Describe the format and frequency. Zo drafts editions based on your recent work. You edit and approve.
Deadlines you actually hit
Submission windows, contest deadlines, agent response timelines, your own writing goals. Zo is a submission deadline tracker that follows up by text so you never miss an open reading period again.
A daily writing routine that holds
Every morning, Zo texts you a summary: what you're working on, where you left off, what's due this week. You start each session knowing exactly where you are instead of spending twenty minutes re-reading yesterday's notes.

Coming from another tool?
ChatGPT is decent for a scene problem or a brainstorming burst. Writers usually lose time elsewhere: research drift, file chaos, submission deadlines, website neglect. Zo handles that surrounding infrastructure.
