Introduction⢕

Zo is a new kind of computer. When you sign up for Zo, we create a brand new computer for you, in the cloud.

You access Zo in your browser (at your-handle.zo.computer), in our desktop and mobile apps, or over email (at your-handle@zo.computer).

With Zo, we're redesigning the computer from the ground up, to be more:

1. Multiplayer. We envision a world where computing is deeply collaborative: with your AI, other humans, and their AIs.
2. Virtual. Your computer is not the hardware. Your computer is your workspace, your digital home. You should be able to access your computer from anywhere, upgrade your hardware on-demand, and time travel to a past version of your computer at any time.
3. Creative. We believe everyone should collect, build, and share their own tools and content, hosted on their own personal computers in the cloud. Together, we can take back the internet from the centralized platforms who control it today, and give it back to the people.

What is Zo?⣿

Zo is, to start, four things in one:

1. An AI assistant–similar to ChatGPT or Claude.
2. A knowledge-management tool–similar to Notion or Obsidian.
3. A cloud drive–similar to Google Drive or Dropbox.
4. An AI coding environment–similar to Replit or Lovable.

But importantly, and unlike any of the individual centralized services above, Zo is your computer.

Just like your laptop, your Zo grows and adapts to you over time, in a way that's transparent, and truly owned by you.

Getting started⣏

To get started, you can simply chat and create notes. When you learn something new chatting with Zo, try asking it to write a note summarizing your conversation.

You can save articles from the web. Try emailing your-handle@zo.computer with a link to an article you want to save. You can also click the "New" button, or ask Zo to save an article in the chat.

You can upload files, and ask Zo to do anything–with any kind of file.

You can schedule tasks for Zo, and Zo will email you with results.

You can extend Zo's capabilities by connecting to other apps, like Linear, Slack, Notion, GitHub, and more.

We'll be adding much more material on how to make the most of your new Zo. For now, you'll have to do a bit of exploring to find out what Zo can do.

We're still in the early stages of our research preview, and we have some exciting features in the works (including a truly multiplayer experience). If you have any questions or feedback, come chat with us in the Zo Computer Club.
