I was helping my dad figure out how he could set up a daily news bot for his stock portfolio, and Zo looks like the answer!

A sandboxed AI that operates on all my context (and helps me write scripts to import the necessary context from other services) is exactly the model of personal intelligence that I want.

I see you have connectors for a bunch of services. A Schwab / Robinhood connector would be sweet.

Even as a huge Linux tinkerer I've been really pleased with Zo setting things up for me that I wouldn't have expected to get done on a server like this. I've started to experiment with installing Guix and serving Lem, and made a personal Telegram bot as an alternative interface. They really focus on keeping out of your way, and the Zo agent is quite persistent and gets things done that I didn't think was feasible.

The price is right for the specs of two hetzner boxes plus a convenient agentic web interface (I like my Cockpit, but it is honestly so nice to be able to just send a Telegram message to get a service set up or to grab a file just by speaking). I use all the LLM apps but, it's like comparing SMS vs. Telegram, it's just not the same?

I was a bit wary of adding my google accounts at first, but I've tried using it to send me daily images through Telegram and it's actually pretty dang nice!

One thing I would really like though is Whisper on Zo. Oh, maybe I should just get that set up on Telegram...
