Zinley's Computer
Zinley's Computer is a separate cloud workspace for files, commands, and supported browser work. It does not need your own laptop to remain awake, and it does not automatically contain your laptop's files or logins.
Open it
On desktop or mobile, open Chat and choose Zinley's Computer in Work on when offered, or explicitly ask to use it. The current backend allows authenticated Free and paid accounts; deployment availability, tool support, and credits still apply.
Choose the right place
| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| Work with a file you uploaded or a cloud project | Zinley's Computer can be appropriate. |
| Use a file only on your laptop | Your approved laptop, or upload the file deliberately. |
| Use a personal desktop app or screen | The approved computer with the required permissions. |
| Run a supported cloud browser task | Zinley's Computer's browser, with its own session. |
| Use a card saved locally on your device | The supported local-device purchase flow, not the cloud browser. |
Give the intended target in the request. A cloud workspace and your computer are not interchangeable when the task depends on private local state.
Start a job
“On Zinley's Computer, use this uploaded data to make a chart and return the finished file. Do not publish it.”
“Use your cloud browser to compare these booking options. Stop before confirming or paying.”
The workspace starts when needed. Follow the current step and open the returned result. Commands, tools, and compute can use credits; a long-running command needs a final result, not just a started message.
Browser work and takeover
Where enabled, the cloud browser can maintain its session and provide a live view or takeover when you need to sign in or make a decision. Follow the handoff shown. Do not assume it shares your personal browser's logins.
Only one cloud browser task can use that browser at a time. If another job is using it, wait or stop the intended task rather than launching duplicates. A timeout can leave a step running; inspect the current state before repeating a purchase or form submission.
Persistence and sleep
Project files can persist between sessions, but the workspace can sleep when idle. A browser restart can preserve its profile while losing the current page or unsaved form. If the workspace reports a reset, inspect what remains before continuing.
Keep important deliverables in a returned file or another storage location you control. A temporary preview server is not permanent hosting; deploy a site when you need a lasting public URL.
When it is unavailable
Read whether the failure concerns credits, an unsupported tool, deployment availability, or an occupied browser. Use an approved local computer only when the task can safely move there. Cloud work cannot bypass your device permissions or access files you never provided.
