Changelog

What changed in each version of Zero. The newest version is at the top.

0.4.0

The first build offered for download.

The application

• A desktop application for Windows with its own installer. It installs for your user account and does not need administrator rights.
• A launcher with your recent projects, each shown with its picture.
• A project is a folder on your disk: Zero keeps its own data in a hidden .zero/ folder inside it, as plain files you can put under git.

Models and chats

• Connect Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and other providers with your own API keys, or a model server you run yourself, such as Ollama.
• Chats with full history, saved system prompts, and folders to keep them in.
• A chat can be attached to the document you are looking at.

Assistant and agents

• The Assistant panel runs chats with an agent that has its own instructions and the tools you grant it.
• A built-in agent ships with Zero, and you can add agents of your own.

Files and organizing

• Browse the workspace, edit text in the built-in editor, and preview Markdown and CSV.
• Attach external folders as read-only reference material.
• Tags and a configurable quick-access list.

Objects, schemas and views

• Objects with schemas that validate them and give each type an icon and a colour.
• Actions: buttons on an object that run a workflow with that object as input.
• Views: your own page, card, and panel layouts for the objects of a schema.

Workflows

• Workflows run the same sequence of steps over many inputs in the background, with a spending limit you set.

Media generation

• Image, video, speech, and transcription through the services you connect.
• Results are saved in the project as ordinary files.
