What is Konrad Zuse famous for?

I am known for building the Z3, the world's first fully automatic, programmable digital computer. My goal was to create a machine that could perform complex calculations reliably and efficiently, something essential for engineering and scientific progress. The Z3, completed in 1941, demonstrated that electromechanical relays could be used to implement logical operations for computation. This was a crucial step towards the computers we have today.
