i loved this

I've found that a simple markdown knowledgebase (with some useful extensions like semantic search & git context) is all I need to improve the memory of my agents. Even my non-coding agents have a memory repo.

Here's my implementation: https://hraness.com/kb

damn this brings back the memories

Check out https://zo.computer - we've been doing OpenClaw for nearly a year, it works out of the box, and has hosting built-in. Zo arguably was the inspiration for Peter to create OpenClaw.

Zo Computer | Systems Engineer, Product Engineer | NYC or SF | Full-time

Imagine having an entire software company working just for you – housing all your personal data, proactively working in the background doing chores, building apps, and organizing information to support your life. It'll work around the clock, interact with people and businesses to make you more organized, capable, and creative.

We're building a new category of personal computing device – a personal cloud, built for personal agents (and the agentic internet to come). Our mission is to make private cloud computing accessible to everyone, by designing enduring abstractions and flexible infrastructure for consumers and their agents.

Systems Engineer: You should be proficient in Python, TypeScript, IaC, etc. and be an expert in distributed systems, storage/databases, networking, and containerization.

Product Engineer: You must be a generalist, and should be proficient in Python, TypeScript, coding with AI, and building AI products. You must have great taste in system, API, and UX design. You must have operating experience in early-stage startups. Former founders are preferred.

Great post! Totally agree – agents like Claude Code make self-hosting a lot more realistic and low maintenance for the average dev.

We've gone a step further, and made this even easier with https://zo.computer

You get a server, and a lot of useful built-in functionality (like the ability to text with your server)

loved this so much i made a jeff dean persona for my AI: https://www.zo.computer/pub/persona/prs_WtLmiGHQmHqaMKIy

Especially relevant after the all the turbulence with 23andMe

This is cool! Check out https://zo.computer – a similar concept, with an IDE-like web UI

Planning! I actually prefer DIY planning prompt + docs, not planning mode. Wrote this article about it today actually: https://0thernet.substack.com/p/velocity-coding

today we're announcing Zo. when we came up with the idea – giving everyone a personal server, powered by AI – it sounded crazy. but now, even my mom has a server of her own. and it's making her life better. she thinks of Zo as her personal assistant. she texts it to manage her busy schedule, using all the context from her notes and files. she no longer needs me for tech support. she also uses Zo as her intelligent workspace – she asks it to organize her files, edit documents, and do deep research. with Zo's help, she can run code from her graduate students and explore the data herself. Zo has given my mom a real feeling of agency – she can do so much more with her computer. we want everyone to have that same feeling. we want people to fall in love with making stuff for themselves. in the future we're building, we'll own our data, craft our own tools, and create personal APIs. owning an intelligent cloud computer will be just like owning a smartphone. and the internet will feel much more alive.

thank you!
