Z.E.N.AI that follows a recipe, not a conversation.

Calm dispatch for chaotic work.

How it works
Z.E.N.

Z.E.N. is a workflow engine. Define steps in a short file, run them on demand or on a schedule, from your terminal or your browser.

🟣

Run

Fire a workflow when you want. Same shape, same output, every time.

✍️

Describe to build

Write the steps in English from inside whichever agent you already use. Z.E.N. turns them into a workflow you can edit and rerun.

🔌

Portable

Any model, any harness, any host. Dispatch from Claude Code, OpenClaw, or Hermes. Pick the AI per step. Run on your laptop, a cloud box, or a small server.

⏰

Schedule

Daily, weekly, hourly, cron. Z.E.N. wakes the workflow up and runs it without you.

🧰

Your toolbox

The Printing Press library wires command-line tools into your routines without extra glue. Add your own; Z.E.N. doesn't care where the tool came from.

🗂️

One place for all of it

Workflows, runs, schedules, logs. All in one Web UI. Nothing wanders off into spreadsheets or a separate dashboard.

The pattern you already use, written down once ​

You've already done this: opened your AI of choice, typed the same question for the fourth time this month, copied the answer into the same Notion page, fixed the same three things by hand. The work is repetitive. The tool isn't.

Z.E.N. is where you save the recipe. A workflow is a short file that lists the steps. AI does the heavy lifting at each step. You run it now, schedule it to repeat, or kick it off from inside your existing agent. The shape doesn't change between runs; only the inputs do.

Chat is for exploring. Z.E.N. is for repeating.

What people actually use it for ​

A daily brief that scans Slack, Notion, and the calendar at 7 a.m. and lands a summary in the inbox. A research sprint that takes a topic, runs three rounds of search, drafts a memo. Meeting capture that pulls the transcript, extracts decisions, files them in Notion. A content workflow that turns a rough idea into a draft, a thumbnail brief, and a social post. You write the recipe once. It cooks while you do something else.

From inside your existing agent ​

If you already live in Claude Code, OpenClaw, or Hermes, Z.E.N. is the infrastructure they reach for. They call your workflows by name. You don't switch tools to dispatch a job; you ask your agent to run the daily brief and it fires.
