Welcome to Classified AI Builders. This guide tells you what this community is, where things happen, and how to get useful answers fast.
What this community is
Classified AI Builders is a Discord community for people building real things on Zo Computer: automations, sites, services, personas, and full AI-driven operations. It is run by Classified, an agency that builds AI operations professionally and shares the transferable craft here.
The bias of this community is toward shipping. Questions about real projects get the best answers. "I built this, here is what broke" beats "what do you all think about AI" every time.
The channel map
- #welcome: Land here first. Introduce yourself: what you are building, or what you want to build. One or two sentences is plenty.
- #general-chat: Everything that is not support or show-and-tell. Ideas, opinions, off-topic within reason.
- #new-tools-and-releases: New Zo features, new models, new tools worth knowing about. Low noise, high signal. Post here when something genuinely new ships, not for every blog post you read.
- #user-guides-faq: The community knowledge base lives here: links to the Classified guides and pinned answers to recurring questions. Check this before asking a question that feels common.
- #share-what-youre-building: Show your work. Screenshots, links, lessons learned. In-progress is welcome; you do not need a polished launch.
- #help-and-support: Stuck? Post here. This is also where Friday hangs out and where solved threads turn into FAQ entries.
How to ask Friday a good question
Friday is the community AI. You can DM Friday or @mention it in a channel. It answers from the Classified guides and the official Zo documentation.
You get better answers when you give it a real problem instead of a vague topic:
Weak: "automations?" Strong: "My daily automation is set for 7am but it fires at noon. I'm in London. What's wrong?"
Three things that improve every question:
- State the goal, not just the error. "I want a weekly summary emailed to me, and the agent never runs" gives Friday the whole picture.
- Include the symptom verbatim. Exact error text, exact times, exact behavior. "It doesn't work" is not a symptom.
- Say what you already tried. It saves a round trip.
What Friday can do
- Answer questions about building on Zo: which primitive to use, how to scope a persona, why an automation misfired, how to think about cost.
- Point you to the exact page of the official Zo docs for any mechanics question (settings, buttons, API endpoints, billing).
- Share the Classified approach to building AI operations: patterns, defaults, and judgment from real systems.
What Friday cannot do
Friday is deliberately locked down. It has web search and web browsing only. It cannot:
- Read or write any files, on your machine or anyone else's.
- Run code or shell commands.
- Send messages, emails, or anything on your behalf.
- Access any integration, account, or private system.
- See your Zo workspace, your usage, or your billing.
This is by design, and it is a pattern worth copying: a public-facing AI should hold the minimum capability needed to do its one job. If you want to know how Friday is built, read Personas, Scopes, and Guardrails. It uses Friday as the worked example.
When Friday does not know
If your question does not match any guide and the Zo docs do not cover it, Friday will say so rather than guess. That is intentional. When that happens:
- Post the question in #help-and-support with the details described above. Humans in the community pick up what Friday cannot.
- If it turns out to be a common problem, the answer gets folded into the FAQ, and Friday knows it next time.
A wrong answer delivered confidently is worse than "I don't know, ask in #help-and-support." Friday is built to prefer the second.
