2. Android Permissions Explained

Why Zinro needs these permissions and how your privacy is protected

Display Over Other Apps (Overlay)

Essential

Allows Zinro to render the floating edge tab, suggestion chips, and side panel directly over WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, and other apps.

💡 Tip: In the Android settings list, scroll alphabetically to find "Zinro" and toggle it ON.

Accessibility Service

Essential

Enables Zinro to detect the active chat input field and read the visible conversation text solely to generate relevant reply suggestions when you ask.

Strict Privacy Guarantees
  • We do NOT save, log, or record your chat conversations on our servers.
  • Data is processed in-memory transiently only at the moment you request a suggestion.
  • Passwords, payment screens, and non-chat apps are automatically ignored.

Blocked by Android "Restricted setting"?

If Android 13+ greys out the Accessibility toggle for sideloaded apps:

  1. Go to phone Settings → Apps → Zinro.
  2. Tap the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner.
  3. Tap "Allow restricted settings" and enter your phone PIN.
  4. Return to Zinro and toggle Accessibility ON.

3. The Floating Edge Tab & Side Panel

Your full AI control center accessible from inside any chat app

Whenever you are in a chat app, you will see a subtle pill-shaped Edge Tab on the right side. Swipe or tap it to reveal the Zinro Side Panel:

Auto-Suggest vs Tap Mode

Switch between Tap Mode (shows chips when you tap the input) and Auto Mode (continually refreshes suggestions as new messages arrive).

Business Memory Toggle

Turn your saved business memory ON or OFF with a single tap so you can easily switch between business chats and casual personal conversations.

Live Balance & Top-Up

Check your remaining monthly reply limit and top-up credits in real-time, or upgrade your pack directly without leaving your chat.

Quick Reply Templates

Store and 1-tap paste your frequently used messages like bank details, address, standard pricing, and intro greetings.

4. Business Context & Memory

Teach Zinro everything once, and it remembers forever

In Settings → Business Memory, enter your store name, product catalog, delivery timelines, pricing tiers, refund policy, and payment links.

Example Business Memory Input:

"We sell premium cotton t-shirts priced at ₹799 each. Free delivery on orders above ₹1,500. Delivery takes 3 business days across India. 7-day hassle-free replacement policy. For payments, we accept UPI (pay@zinro) and Cash on Delivery (+₹50). Tone: Warm, helpful, professional."

When a customer asks "Do you have COD and how much is shipping?", Zinro will automatically draft:
"Yes, we offer Cash on Delivery for a small ₹50 fee! Delivery takes about 3 business days, and shipping is completely free on orders above ₹1,500 😊"

5. In-Chat 'ai' Prompt Shortcut

Type instructions directly in your chat box for custom AI messages

Need a specific type of reply that isn't in the top 3 chips? Simply type ai followed by your instruction into the message field:

ai politely ask for payment screenshot

Drafts a gentle, professional reminder requesting payment confirmation.

ai apologize for delay in Hindi/Hinglish

Generates a natural, respectful apology in natural conversational Hinglish.

ai offer 10% discount to close deal today

Creates a persuasive sales closing offer with urgent call-to-action.

ai firm refusal of discount politely

Politely explains fixed pricing while highlighting product quality.

6. Frequently Asked Questions
