If you’ve tried to ask an AI to help with a website that requires a login (banking, internal dashboards, paid newsletters, etc.), you’ve probably hit the same wall: the AI can’t access the page you’re looking at.
Zo solves this with browser use: you can sign in to a website in Zo’s built-in browser, then your AI can read (and sometimes interact with) the logged-in page.
This tutorial shows how to do that safely.
What you’ll be able to do
Sign in once in Zo’s browser
Ask your AI to summarise / extract data from the logged-in page
Have your AI click through multi-page flows (where appropriate)
Avoid pasting passwords or private tokens into chat
Prerequisites
A Zo Computer account
The URL of the website you want to use (and your normal login credentials)
Step 1: Open Zo’s browser and sign in
In Zo, open Settings → Browser.
Open the website you want to use.
Sign in normally.
Confirm you can see the content you care about (for example: an inbox, dashboard, or account page).
Tip: If the site uses a one-time code (SMS/Authenticator), complete that step in the browser as usual.
Step 2: Ask your AI to use the browser for the logged‑in page
In chat, be explicit that the page requires browser access. For example:
“Use the browser to open my Stripe dashboard and tell me yesterday’s total revenue.”
“Use the browser to open the logged-in page and summarise the last 20 notifications.”
“Use the browser to find the export button, export as CSV, and save it to my workspace.”
If you want the AI to operate on a specific page you already navigated to, say so:
“Use the browser. I’m already on the billing page—extract the invoice amounts and dates.”
Step 3: Make the AI’s job easier (and safer)
When you’re dealing with authenticated pages, a little structure reduces mistakes.
Tell it what not to do
Examples:
“Do not change account settings.”
“Read-only: don’t submit anything.”
“If there’s a destructive action (delete/cancel), stop and summarise what you found instead.”
Prefer a single, concrete outcome
Better:
“Find my last invoice and download the PDF to my workspace.”
Worse:
“Go through all my settings and optimise things.”
Step 4: Troubleshoot common problems
“The AI says it can’t access the page”
Make sure you’re signed in in Settings → Browser (some sites have multiple subdomains and require login per subdomain).
If the site logs you out quickly, repeat Step 1 and then retry.
“It keeps getting stuck on CAPTCHA / bot checks”
Some sites aggressively block automation. If you hit this:
Try reloading once.
If it still fails, you may need to do the key navigation steps manually in the browser first, then ask the AI to read/extract from the final page.
“It’s reading the wrong account”
If you have multiple accounts for a service:
Log out in the browser and log back in to the correct account.
Open the exact page you want (for example, the right workspace/tenant) before asking the AI.
Security notes (read this)
Never paste passwords into chat. Sign in in the browser UI.
Assume anything the AI reads from an authenticated page is sensitive—ask it to save outputs to files only when you need them.
For high-risk sites (banking, production admin panels), use “read-only” instructions and avoid actions that can change state.
