For invited beta users
Enter your invite code
Your code is in the invite from us. It looks like CURZOO-K7QM-4XTP. Enter the eight letters and numbers after CURZOO.
You're in
Download Curzoo
Read the next part first. Windows will show a warning when you run the installer, and it helps to know it's coming.
This is for your PC
Curzoo installs on a Windows 11 PC. Open curzoo.com/download there. You'll need the code from your invite again.
Before you download
Windows will warn you. Here's why, and what to click.
This beta installer . Signing is how Windows knows who made an app, so without it Windows SmartScreen steps in and shows a blue box that says "Windows protected your PC". That box appears for any unsigned app. To install Curzoo you need to go past it:
Click More info. Click Run anyway. Curzoo installs and opens. There's no admin prompt.
Your antivirus may also flag Curzoo, because it watches for one key and can read the screen. If you'd rather wait for a signed installer, that's a reasonable choice. We'll email beta users when it's ready.
Download on this device anyway
Your download has started
Look for in your Downloads folder. When you run it, Windows will show its warning: click More info, then Run anyway.
This doesn't look like a Windows PC. The installer only runs on Windows 11. You can still download it to move it across.
SHA-256 checksum
Optional: for checking the file arrived intact.
After it installs
Curzoo opens a walkthrough of seven short steps. It takes about 3 minutes.
- Welcome. Pick how Curzoo looks.
- What gets sent. Read it and click Agree. Until you agree, Curzoo captures nothing and sends nothing.
- Sign in. Enter your email, then the 6-digit code we send you. There's no password, and this step can't be skipped. Enter your invite code here too, the same one you used on this page, so your account becomes a Beta account.
- Your microphone and voice. Pick a microphone, or skip this and type instead.
- Try the key. Curzoo opens a practice page in Notepad: hold Right Alt over a word, tap and type a question, then ask it to write a short note.
- Your documents. Share a file or a folder if you'd like Curzoo to use them. You can skip this.
- You're set. Curzoo sits in the tray by the clock, and Right Alt works in any app.
Don't skip the invite code
Without it your account is a 14-day trial, not a Beta account. If you miss it at sign-in, open Account in the Curzoo window and enter it there. A code makes one account a Beta account, so don't pass yours on before you've used it.
If something goes wrong
I don’t see "More info"
On some PCs the warning comes from your browser first. Choose Keep in the browser's downloads list, then run the file. The blue Windows box follows.
My work PC blocks it
Some workplaces block unsigned apps outright. That's your IT team's rule and we can't get round it. A signed installer may be allowed when it's ready.
Voice says "Getting voice ready"
The first time you hold the key and speak, Curzoo downloads its speech models. That first request isn't heard. Ask again when the download finishes.
I want to remove it
To clear your sign-in as well, first open Curzoo's Account page and sign out. Then open Windows Settings, then Apps, then Installed apps, and uninstall Curzoo. That removes the program only. Your settings, saved facts, activity list and speech models stay in two folders until you delete them: .
I've used up my credits
Curzoo's tag says which limit you reached and when it resets. The Account page in the Curzoo window shows what you have left.
