If something goes wrong

  • Zeno says your email isn't confirmed. Open the link we sent when you signed up, then connect again.
  • Gemini doesn't use Zeno. Mention @Zeno Household in your message.
  • You want to disconnect. Choose Revoke next to Gemini under Settings → Your assistants in the Zeno app. It stops working immediately.
Your bank connects to your assistant, not to Zeno. Zeno never asks for your bank login. Without a bank connection, Zeno works from the accounts and amounts you tell Gemini.
