Zennies: your Zen team

What a Zennie is

Zen is your main assistant. Zennies are the helpers it works with. Each Zennie looks after one area, for example your money, your health or your learning. For example, Hana looks after health admin and Tomi is your tutor.

Each Zennie has:

• its own name and picture,
• its own chat with you,
• its own memory, on top of what is shared with the team,
• its own tasks.

Zennies can ask each other questions and hand work to each other. You see these hand-offs in the chats.

The Tasks tab

The Tasks tab shows everything your Zennies are working on. Each task shows which Zennie owns it, its status (for example running, waiting for you, or waiting on others) and how far it is, like "step 2 of 5". Open a task to see its progress.

Create a Zennie

1. On the Tasks tab, open your team.
2. Tap New Zennie.
3. Give it a name, a picture or an emoji, and what it looks after.
4. Under How it should work, write how you want it to behave, in your own words.
5. Choose what it may use: Draft emails for my OK and Search the web.

Edit, pause or remove a Zennie

Open the Zennie's profile and tap Edit. You can change its name, picture, job and instructions at any time. Turn on Paused to stop it working for a while; turn it off to resume.

If you remove a Zennie, it is kept and you can bring it back with Undo in Activity.

The head of the team

One Zennie is the head of the team. By default it is Zen. The head sees all the team's memory, checks on the others a few times a day, and only writes to you when you need to decide something. You can make another Zennie the head in its edit screen.

The same rules for every Zennie

Paying, sending and deleting always wait for your OK, whichever Zennie asks. Every change a Zennie makes is in Activity with Undo.
