Show HN: A Server for My Mom

Please stop with the sexist "mom as technically ignorant" trope/clickbait.
My mum taught me to program and ran my first (FORTRAN) programs by hand for me, long before I had access to a computer of my own.

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. (My mom's a biologist and runs a research lab.)
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.

All new users get 100GB free storage.
And it's not just storage. You can host 1 thing for free – a public website, a database, an API, anything. Zo can set it up.
We can't wait to see what you build.
