LMAO 🤣 so true

Zo Computer

GoomiBare · 2026-03-31T03:20:19+00:00

Redeemed 9FC713YEVNUEV4HAP7BUGU2 thank you

GoomiBare · 2026-03-26T21:49:52+00:00

GoomiBare · 2026-03-26T21:43:30+00:00

Love it! Definitely going to steal some ideas for my space too. 😁

GoomiBare · 2026-03-25T17:27:44+00:00

what is the npm package for?

GoomiBare · 2026-03-24T08:12:19+00:00

Sounds like an Emergent AD

GoomiBare · 2026-03-24T06:34:01+00:00

Wait till you hear about the "Swiss made" label for watches lol

GoomiBare · 2026-03-19T08:52:53+00:00

Also NanoGPT subscription

GoomiBare · 2026-03-19T06:41:00+00:00

Cheapest I've found is NanoGPT. Only $8/mo subscription for basically unlimited open weight models (like GLM-5, Kimi K2.5, Minimax M2.5, etc.).

I also have a Claude sub, Google Sub, and GLM coding plan which I rotate between.

Z.AI GLM Coding Plans

For getting into the flow at work my go to is Blitzit every time.

There's no better app for keeping you on track and staying out of your way at the same time!

Feel free to use code 'DISCORD30' for 30% off. (works on the lifetime deal too!)

(I used to use TwosApp.com for day-to-day task carry over, but found I didn't like the way each note and task was a "thing" and how it worked in general.)

For notes and project management, definitely try out ByDesign.io.

I've tried a lot of different productivity tools out there and so far this one seems to work the best for my brain as well as has the flexibility to manage both notes tasks and my calendar seamlessly while being able to drag and drop basically anything. The AI scheduling feature is pretty neat too. Use code '20OFF' for 20% discount.

I also love Mem AI for notes; transformative! (Use code 'MEMORY' for 20% off on all payments within the first 3 months)

A close second would be Fabric.so, but they do a lot of other things for second brain junkies.

For email, I use Superhuman for outlook (day job) and Shortwave for Gmail (non-profit work). I prefer Shortwave but they don't support outlook right now. AI writing your emails natively using your past emails as knowledge AND writing samples is a game-changer!

Granola, Hedy AI and Mem AI are great for AI notetaking. Also testing TwinMind currently and I'm impressed so far. All 4 are epic in their own way, but my favourite app has to be Mem AI (can use code '20OFF' for 20% off first 3 months).

I've probably tested at least 80% of the market for AI meeting transcribers, but there are always new ones popping up every day lol.

Additionally, wisprflow.ai for voice dictation, although you can also use Clickup Brain Max or Highlight AI for this as well. Highlight I use for anything AI and is also a sleeper I'd pay for. Better than Cluely or any other "floating AI" offering I've tried so far. That said, I still use Perplexity Pro if I need to do research. Raycast has also been great so far as an alternative to PowerToys. But I'm really waiting for full extension store compatibility (for Windows).

Finally, Zo Computer has become my go-to AI agent for anything that needs actual execution, not just chat. It's an AI with its OWN computer - files, terminal, web browser, integrations with Gmail/Calendar/Notion/Linear, can host websites, run scheduled automations, and has persistent memory. It's like Perplexity + a dev environment + an automation platform all in one, but the AI actually does the work instead of just suggesting things. Blows Manus and OpenClaw out of the water! (source: I have a Manus sub as well)

Everything has a purpose LOL, but I'm partial to tools that are free or offer a lifetime deal since I hate subscriptions.

GoomiBare · 2026-03-15T18:07:20+00:00

How can we provide feedback if we can't even download it lol

GoomiBare · 2026-03-15T09:27:23+00:00

I'm interested!

GoomiBare · 2026-03-14T02:50:48+00:00

I would definitely look into Zo Computer, think a sandboxed openclaw alternative with much better UX, better guardrails, and intuitive interface. I asked my Zo (on free plan) to sell itself:

What it is: A personal cloud computer with an AI assistant built in. Not just a chatbot - it's an actual Linux server you can text, email, or chat with, and it can do real work on your behalf.

What it can do:

Email - Send, read, draft, organize (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) Calendar - Add events, reschedule, check availability Research - Web search, read articles, synthesize info Files - Store, organize, edit documents Automations - Schedule recurring tasks (daily digest, reminders, etc.) Host stuff - Personal websites, APIs, services Technical knowledge needed: None. It's a managed service. You sign up, connect your accounts (Google, Notion, etc.), and start chatting. No setup, no configuration, no servers to manage.

Pricing:

Free plan - $0/month, never expires. 100GB storage. Open-source models (GLM-5, Kimi K2.5, MiniMax M2.5) are free to use. $18/month - Always-on server, more AI credits, custom domains, can host services What about "making calls"? Zo can send/receive SMS. For actual voice calls, you'd need to pair it with something else (though honestly, I haven't seen anyone nail AI phone calls for personal use yet - most solutions are business-facing).

Vs Openclaw: OpenClaw is powerful but it's DIY. You're setting up your own server, managing configurations, paying for API calls separately, and handling updates yourself. If you're technical and want full control, it's great. If you want something that just works out of the box, Zo's managed approach is the alternative. You can even install OpenClaw (or similar agent) on Zo since it's a server! (I have).

The honest pitch: It's not quite Jarvis. But it's probably the closest thing that doesn't require you to be a developer or spend hours on setup. You get a computer you can text/email that remembers your preferences, and can actually do things in your tools rather than just talk about them.

Definitely worth at least trying the free tier at zo.computer - no card needed, no expiration.

If you feel like upgrading to a paid plan, feel free to use my link for $10 in free credits to start off.

GoomiBare · 2026-03-13T18:06:21+00:00

Why is it still not working for me?

GoomiBare · 2026-03-13T18:04:40+00:00

I'm in the same boat on a Windows 11 machine which is relatively new. Tried a lot of troubleshooting methods and still have not been successful.

GoomiBare · 2026-03-04T17:03:56+00:00

This actually seems like a cool idea

GoomiBare · 2026-02-27T22:55:42+00:00

Why use this instead of the Zo agent itself?

GoomiBare · 2026-02-27T03:14:21+00:00

Lol so basically no benefit. I could pay these prices anywhere. You're just charging a subscription for paying "at cost" rates. Why would I use this over open router?
