Everything you need to know about ZEG, our AI software, and how we operate as an Australian technology company.
ZEG is an Australian technology company specializing in AI software that respects user privacy while delivering powerful functionality. Founded in 2026, ZEG builds intelligent tools that learn collectively from users worldwide without compromising individual privacy. Our company ownership is independent, meaning we answer to our users rather than venture capital investors demanding monetization of personal data.
ZEG operates as an independently-owned Australian technology company. Our company ownership structure ensures we maintain complete control over our product direction and privacy practices. Unlike VC-backed software companies that must prioritize investor returns, ZEG's ownership allows us to focus exclusively on building exceptional AI software that serves our users' interests. This independence is fundamental to our mission and will never change.
The simple answer: you don't have to, because ZEG never gets your data. Our AI software runs entirely locally on your device. We only receive anonymous learning patterns—mathematical abstractions that can't be traced back to any individual user. Additionally, ZEG's core technology is open source, meaning security researchers and privacy advocates can verify our claims. As an Australian technology company, we're also subject to some of the world's strictest privacy regulations, and our company ownership ensures we'll never compromise on these principles.
EVOLVE AI is ZEG's flagship AI software product—a self-evolving file organizer that automatically categorizes your downloads with increasing accuracy over time. Unlike traditional organization tools, EVOLVE AI learns from a global community of users while processing everything locally on your device. The AI software gets smarter every week through collective intelligence, meaning your version improves as more people use it, even though your files never leave your computer.
Most file organization software uses static rules that never improve. EVOLVE AI, developed by ZEG, uses advanced AI software that continuously evolves through collective learning. While competing products might organize files based on fixed categories, our technology learns from millions of real-world decisions made by users globally. Additionally, EVOLVE AI is completely free, respects your privacy, and gets smarter automatically—no other file organizer can claim all three.
Yes! EVOLVE AI, like all ZEG AI software, works completely offline. The core file organization happens locally on your device using embedded AI models. Internet connectivity is only needed for optional features like receiving weekly model updates with improved intelligence. Even without internet, the software functions perfectly using the latest model you've downloaded. This design reflects ZEG's commitment to privacy and reliability.
ZEG's AI software collects anonymous usage patterns—never your personal data. For example, EVOLVE AI might record that "a .pdf file with 'invoice' in the filename was categorized as Business," but it never knows whose invoice it was, what the actual content contained, or any identifying information. These patterns are encrypted, anonymized, and used solely to improve the AI models. As an Australian technology company committed to privacy, ZEG's company ownership ensures this policy will never change, regardless of acquisition offers or pressure from third parties.
Absolutely. Every ZEG AI software product includes a simple toggle to disable pattern sharing entirely. When disabled, your software continues to function perfectly using the last model you downloaded, but it won't contribute anonymous patterns back to the community. While we believe collective intelligence benefits everyone, ZEG respects your right to complete privacy. This is another advantage of our independent company ownership—we don't need your data to survive financially.
ZEG maintains a hybrid approach: our core AI software components, privacy mechanisms, and local processing code are open source and available on our GitHub organization for public audit. Proprietary elements include our specific AI model training pipelines and some UX components. This balance allows the security community to verify our privacy claims while protecting the intellectual property that makes ZEG's technology unique. As an Australian technology company, we believe transparency and business sustainability can coexist.
Yes. EVOLVE AI and all core ZEG AI software products are free with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or premium tiers. Our business model focuses on enterprise solutions and optional advanced features for organizations, not individual users. As an independent Australian technology company with sustainable company ownership, we're not burning through VC money hoping to monetize users later. ZEG is profitable serving businesses while keeping consumer products free.
Never. ZEG's company ownership structure legally prohibits selling user data, and our AI software architecture makes it technically impossible—we simply don't collect data that could be sold. Ads would undermine the user experience we're building and contradict our mission. Unlike ad-supported software companies, ZEG generates revenue through enterprise licensing and B2B services. Our Australian technology company operates profitably without compromising user trust.
ZEG's AI software is designed to run efficiently on modest hardware. EVOLVE AI requires approximately 200MB of RAM and 150MB of storage space. The software supports Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+, and major Linux distributions. Because our AI models run locally, no cloud processing or constant internet connection is needed. ZEG optimizes all software to be lightweight while maintaining powerful AI capabilities—a technical achievement our company is proud of.
ZEG releases new AI software models weekly for EVOLVE AI and our other products. These updates incorporate collective learning from the global user community, improving accuracy and adding support for new file types or categories. Updates are automatic but optional—users control when to install them. As an Australian technology company committed to transparency, we publish release notes detailing what changed in each model version.
ZEG is expanding our AI software portfolio while maintaining the same privacy-first principles that define EVOLVE AI. Upcoming products include intelligent email management, productivity tools, and context-aware automation software. Each product will use collective intelligence, run locally, and remain free for individual users. As our Australian technology company grows, we're also building enterprise offerings that allow organizations to deploy ZEG's AI software privately within their infrastructure.
Absolutely! ZEG welcomes contributions through our GitHub organization. Whether you're a developer wanting to improve our open-source components, a designer with UI suggestions, or a user with feature requests, we value community input. Our company ownership ensures that good ideas get implemented based on merit, not corporate politics. Contributing to ZEG means helping build AI software that respects users—a mission worth supporting.
