How ZEG Works

How Our AI Software Learns

ZEG's AI software, including our flagship product EVOLVE AI, uses a revolutionary approach called "collective intelligence." Instead of requiring massive cloud servers and invasive data collection, our technology runs locally on your device while sharing only anonymous learning patterns with the broader community.

Here's how it works: When you use EVOLVE AI or any ZEG product, the software observes patterns in how you interact with it. If you correct the AI—for example, moving a file to a different category—the system learns from that correction. However, instead of sending your actual files or personal data to our servers, ZEG's AI software only shares the abstract pattern: "Users who work with .docx files containing the word 'contract' tend to prefer the 'Legal' category."

EVOLVE AI: A Case Study

Let's examine how ZEG's technology works in practice using EVOLVE AI, our file organization software:

Step 1: Installation - You download EVOLVE AI to your computer. The software includes a lightweight AI model trained on millions of anonymous file organization patterns from ZEG's user community.

Step 2: Learning Your Preferences - As you download files, EVOLVE AI automatically categorizes them based on collective intelligence. When you move a file to a different folder, the AI software records this preference locally.

Step 3: Anonymous Pattern Sharing - Periodically, ZEG's software sends encrypted, anonymous patterns to our servers. For example: "File type .sketch → Design category (confidence: 87%)." Notice there's no filename, no user ID, no personal information—just the learning pattern.

Step 4: Collective Improvement - ZEG aggregates these patterns from thousands of users, retrains the AI model, and pushes updates to everyone. Your EVOLVE AI gets smarter because of the collective wisdom of the community, and your contributions make it better for others—all while maintaining complete privacy.

Company Ownership & Transparency

ZEG operates as an independent Australian technology company with transparent company ownership. We're not beholden to venture capital firms demanding exponential growth at the expense of user privacy. This independence allows ZEG to make decisions based solely on what's best for our users and the quality of our AI software.

Every line of code in ZEG's products is available for public inspection on our GitHub organization. This transparency ensures that when we say your data stays local, you can verify it yourself. Our company ownership structure guarantees that ZEG will never compromise on privacy, even if offered millions to do so.

Technical Architecture

For those interested in the technical details, ZEG's AI software uses a hybrid architecture:

• Local Inference: ONNX Runtime for fast, efficient AI processing on your device
• Federated Learning: Anonymous pattern aggregation without centralized data collection
• Differential Privacy: Mathematical guarantees that individual user data cannot be reverse-engineered from shared patterns
• End-to-End Encryption: All communications between your device and ZEG servers are encrypted
• Open Source Core: Critical components of our AI software are publicly auditable

The Future of ZEG

As ZEG grows from an Australian technology company into a global leader in ethical AI software, our commitment remains unchanged. We're building additional products using the same privacy-first, collective intelligence approach. Whether it's email management, productivity tools, or entirely new categories of AI software, ZEG will continue to prove that powerful technology and user respect aren't mutually exclusive. Our company ownership ensures we'll never deviate from these principles, no matter how large we grow.
