Zilly
Meet Zilly, your study partner
Zilly is the AI assistant built into Zelo. It explains, quizzes, summarises and reviews — and it is designed to coach you, not to do your work for you.
What you get
Why Zilly works
Quizzes from any post
One tap turns a post into a five-question quiz with explanations. Pass it and you earn points; the author’s work gets used the way it should be.
Content improvement suggestions
Paste a draft and get specific feedback on argument, evidence, structure and clarity — with examples from your own sentences.
Study summaries and explanations
Condense long reading into key points, key terms and review questions, or ask Zilly to explain a concept step by step.
Personalised recommendations
Zilly reads your real activity — quiz scores, challenge record, what you post — and writes a weekly plan with posts to read next.
Academic integrity checks
Before you publish, check your text for overlap with existing hub content and get an integrity review that tells you what to cite.
Ask the hub
Ask a question and get an answer assembled from what students have published on Zelo, with numbered sources you can open.

The rules
What Zilly will and will not do
Zilly exists to support learning, so some limits are deliberate.
- It coaches
- Ask for an essay to hand in and Zilly will help you plan it, explain the ideas and review your draft instead.
- It admits uncertainty
- Zilly says when it is unsure or when a claim is contested. Treat it as a knowledgeable peer, not an authority — check important facts.
- It stays age-appropriate
- Adult, hateful, dangerous and illegal requests are declined.
- It cannot search the web
- Originality checks compare against content on Zelo and assess the writing itself. They are advisory, not proof.
- Daily allowance
- 15 requests a day on the free plan and 300 on Zelo Plus.
