HOW TO READ THIS REPORT

Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface ibelick/zola, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

    Why:

    CURRENT
    **Zola** is the open-source chat interface for all your models.
    COPY-PASTE FIX
    **Zola** is an open-source, self-hostable chat interface for all your AI models, designed for seamless interaction with both local (Ollama) and cloud-based LLMs (OpenAI, Mistral, Claude, Gemini via OpenRouter). (Note: This project is distinct from the Zola static site generator.) It features multi-model support, bring-your-own-key (BYOK), file uploads, and a clean, responsive UI, providing a powerful alternative to proprietary chat solutions.

    ## Comparison & Alternatives

Zola aims to provide a user-friendly, self-hostable chat interface with broad model support, similar to projects like Open WebUI, Chatbot UI, and LM Studio. Our focus is on a clean UI, multi-model flexibility (local Ollama and cloud APIs via OpenRouter), and easy self-hosting. While other solutions excel in specific areas (e.g., raw model management, specific integrations), Zola prioritizes a balanced, customizable chat experience for all your AI models.
