What is Zero?

Zero is the first-party assistant built into connect0 — one per account, reached from the Ask Zero entry in the sidebar. Its job is to help you set up, configure, diagnose, and query connect0 itself: "connect our Notion", "why is my bill high", "cap this project at $200/mo". You ask in plain language; Zero does the reading and, with your confirmation, the doing.

What Zero can do

Zero's capabilities fall into three classes:

• Answer questions — grounded in connect0's own documentation and first-party know-how, with deep links into the dashboard.
• Inspect your account — using read-only tools, Zero can look at your agents, recent runs, usage and cost breakdowns, connectors and their health, credit balance, and spend caps, then explain what it finds.
• Propose actions — for anything that changes your account (create an agent, add a connector, set a spend cap, assign a model), Zero surfaces a confirmation-gated action card. Nothing is written until you approve it.

How Zero differs from the agents you build

Zero is itself a connect0 agent, so it inherits the same runtime, audit, memory, and metering as any agent you create. The difference is what it points at:

• It operates on your account, not a task. Zero's tools read and act on connect0 itself — your agents, billing, connectors — a surface ordinary agents don't have. That self-referential access is first-party only; a customer agent can never call it.
• It's built in. Zero is auto-provisioned with your account, isn't listed in the agent roster, and can't be deleted.
• It never acts silently. Every mutation goes through an explicit confirm and is audited.

Boundaries

Zero is strictly account-scoped: it only ever touches the account it belongs to and can't see other accounts. It's also role-aware — a viewer gets a read-only Zero, while write actions require the same role the dashboard would demand of you.
