Knowledge Management & Research
Zo gives you a place to organize everything you know – and an AI that can actually work with it. Not another note-taking app. A knowledge system that grows with you.
"I've been using Zo pretty heavily across my messy Drive/Notion/Dropbox world. Big fan of what you're building."
Building a Personal Knowledge System
A retired management consultant in London created a personal knowledge management system on Zo:
"Really easily, and it's quite sophisticated."
He even self-hosted n8n to connect it with other services. The point isn't that Zo is a note-taking app – it's that you can build whatever system works for you, then automate it.
Research Paper Organization
A data scientist in Beijing used Zo to organize his research paper collection and build a personal wiki.
"He says he's already sharing Zo in all his WeChat groups."
When your knowledge system lives on a server with AI, you can:
Search semantically, not just by keywords
Ask questions across your entire collection
Generate summaries and connections automatically
Share specific views with collaborators
Deep Research
"This has got to be the best interface for deep research that I have seen in a while."
Many users are using Zo for real estate property searches – where typical filters don't let you evaluate property descriptions and images. This is a classic "deep research" task: complex criteria, lots of data, judgment calls.
Zo excels here because:
The AI can browse and evaluate like a human would
You can set up automations to monitor and alert
Results live in your persistent workspace, not ephemeral chat
You can write custom code when the AI needs help
Importing Your Digital Life
"I'm so excited about Zo, I've dropped all work on the floor and am building a script to import all my X bookmarks. It seems like the exact Obsidian-in-the-cloud + Claude Code + automation product that I've been looking for."
Zo becomes more valuable as you bring more of your digital life into it. Bookmarks, notes, documents, data – it all becomes searchable, queryable, and actionable.
For Students and Researchers
A biology graduate student at Johns Hopkins uses Zo to organize his daily lab protocols and data analysis. The AI helps him:
Track experiments and results
Generate analysis code
Keep protocols organized and searchable
Build tools for his research workflow
On the side, he's creating an online version of a card game they play in his hometown. Because why not?
Standard Formats, Your Data
Unlike proprietary knowledge tools, Zo stores everything in standard formats. Markdown files. SQLite databases. Whatever you want. Sync locally and you have it all on your machine too.
"The implications of encapsulating one's personal workflows, AI tooling, code, and more has a dizzying amount of potential in the world of entrepreneurialism, medicine, and a lot more."
