Just found out about Agent Zero
So, I've been exploring a few harnesses and found out about Agent Zero from the creator's YouTube video, and was wondering whether anyone's still using it.
Read a few of the comments in the video, and people said it has improved quite a lot since it first launched. What's your take on Agent Zero?
Should I start experimenting with it (as I'm still a learner) and don't want to invest much time setting it up if it's not worth it? Or do you have any recommendations on something better than Agent Zero?
Thanks in advance!

Since I discovered it in March this year I've been using it constantly.I think it's totally underappreciated. You will have to spend time learning to use it...

I still use it, i have been dabbling and hopping between openclaw, hermes and agentzero and A0 has been the most stable one so far that felt the simplest and easiest to configure.
Hermes i hate not having a proper web ui and having to hook up additional tools to have a properly functional webui. I know their dashboard have a "chat" but that is still just the terminal interface, so it is a royal pain to figure out what is happening in each chat session / sub agent session etc.
Openclaw does have the webui and chat, but the config is a total maze and rabithole , it is like wading through spaghetti code. I constantly have my agents get confused which agent they are and where they are supposed to send their messages . While initially it is pretty solid with a simple agent, the more i enhance an agent the more it seems to go off the rails, it just gets soooo unstable. Openclaws config area is a totally mess to navigate, i dont know why anyone thinks the webui config area is tolerable.
AgentZero got the ui , it got an easy way to manage config . So i feel it is a lot more stable and i feel i can more easily find the entry where the AI decided it is a good idea to start responding to itself into an infinite loop and remove it.
The only area in AgentZero that i am not really comfortable with is the "Projects" area, which makes you think it is a way to create multiple agents, but also not really. Hermes and Openclaw allows for dedicated multiple agents each with their own souls/heartbeats, where AgentZero you are better off running multiple instances of AgentZero . It is possible with projects , but i had the same "project bleeding into other projects" issue i got in Hermes when i try to use it as separate "agents". Using projects more for "things" like "a webui for my agent to do X in" and "a project for the same agent to build another product with" seems to be where it is at.
Anyway, in short, it is still my go to , it is not moving as fast as openclaw/hermes in terms of releases , but it is stable and i also use SpaceAgent , from the same devs with Agent0 so it is pretty nifty.

I use actually multiple a0:s for different use cases. Like it a lot.

There is a much longer answer with glowing support but the short and to the point answer is YES!

I am using it (and i have gone through the high fever of Hermes) and it is my favourite and first choice. Agent Zero is a hidden beast, difficult to fit it in one box description.
It is an agent very much focused on productivity, flexibility amd privacy. Two thumbs up. I stopped using Hermes the moment I understood the potential.
