The fastest way to get answers about building on Zo is to hand these guides to your own AI and ask. Everything here is written to be read by an agent as much as by you.
Ask your own agent first
You already have the best support tool: your own Zo. Two ways to use it:
- Paste the whole guide set in. Grab the full bundle from the AI Guides page with the "Copy all guides for your agent" button, and paste it into Zo, Claude, or ChatGPT. Then ask your real question: "I want a weekly summary emailed to me every Monday, walk me through building it." Your agent now answers from the same craft these guides teach, with full context on your project.
- Point it at the machine-readable index. The index lives at https://www.classified.llc/guides/index.md and links every guide as raw markdown. An agent can fetch the one it needs.
For platform mechanics (settings, buttons, the API), the official Zo docs at https://docs.zocomputer.com are the source of truth, and your agent can read those too.
The community, when you want humans
Classified AI Builders is a Discord for people building real things on Zo: automations, sites, services, personas, full AI operations. It is run by Classified, an agency that builds AI operations professionally and shares the transferable craft here. Use it when you want a human eye, want to show your work, or hit something the guides do not cover.
The bias 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.
- #welcome: Land here first. Introduce yourself in a sentence or two: what you are building, or want to build.
- #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.
- #user-guides-faq: These guides plus pinned answers to recurring questions. Check here before asking something common.
- #share-what-youre-building: Show your work. Screenshots, links, lessons learned. In-progress is welcome.
- #help-and-support: Stuck? Post here. This is where solved threads turn into FAQ entries.
Friday: the backup, not the front door
Friday is the community AI that lives in the Discord. You can DM it or @mention it, and it answers from these guides and the official Zo docs. Think of it as a fast pointer when you are already in the Discord, not your main way to build. Your own agent, with the guide bundle pasted in, will always know more about your project than Friday does.
When you do ask Friday, 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?"
State the goal, include the exact symptom (error text, times, behavior), and say what you already tried. It saves a round trip.
Friday is deliberately locked down: it has web search and browsing only. It cannot read or write files, run code, send anything on your behalf, or touch any account or integration. That 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. See Personas, Scopes, and Guardrails, which uses Friday as the worked example.
If your question does not match any guide and the Zo docs do not cover it, Friday will say so rather than guess, and point you to #help-and-support where humans pick up. A wrong answer delivered confidently is worse than "I don't know, ask the humans."
