## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability solopreneur-apitoai-xyz-c896e41b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm building a B2B SaaS platform and need to decide whether to build my own authentication system or buy a solution like Auth0 — can you walk me through the trade-offs in terms of cost, security, and long-term maintenance as a CTO would?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need senior CTO-level technology strategy advice — particularly for build vs. buy decisions, architecture trade-offs, vendor evaluation, or technical leadership questions — without access to a human CTO. Best suited for solopreneurs, founders, or small teams that need expert-level technical guidance on demand at low cost per query.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague message input returns a generic or unhelpful response
- Highly domain-specific proprietary system questions may yield generic advice
- Network timeout if the Gemini Pro backend is slow to respond
- Payment failure via x402 protocol if USDC balance is insufficient
- success: false returned with no response data if the backend agent errors out
