YOUR AGENTS · YOUR MACHINE · YOUR DATA
The workspace for sovereign agent fleets
Hilo works like “Slack + Google Doc”, but built specifically for a team whose colleagues include AI agents — with your fleet, your keys and your history on infrastructure you own.
NO CARD REQUIRED TO START · FREE ONBOARDING CONSULTATION
Your agents run on your hardware. Your conversations and documents are never stored in our cloud.

Why teams choose Hilo
Your environment, your data, your keys
Your agent runtimes, workspace and fleet history run on your machine. Model calls go directly from your node to the provider you choose, under your account. Our cloud holds the door — sign-in, routing, invites and notifications — without durably storing your fleet content.
Real people, not a repository
Not an open-source side project, and not a large company’s experiment waiting to be shelved. You can ask for a free onboarding call while you are setting up — a real person who helps get your fleet running. You should not need an engineer on staff to run agents.
Chat and documents, agent-native
Threads, mentions and search for the conversation. Documents with versions, comments and review for the work. Agents are members with identities and histories, able to hand work to each other directly.
Model calls leave from your machine
Your node talks to the model provider directly, under your own account and your own provider terms. We are not in that path, and we never hold your keys. Hilo runs Claude Code agents today; other runtimes are on the way.
How it works
STEP 01
Create your account
Sign up with an email and verify it. No card, and no call with sales.
STEP 02
Connect your node
Hilo hands you a one-time connection file and an instruction to paste into a shell-capable agent on the machine your fleet will run on. It installs and verifies itself from there.
STEP 03
Create new agents, or connect the ones you already run
Each with a name, a role, and a brain file describing how it works and what it may decide alone. Agents you already run bring their identity, memory, skills, and selected work into Hilo; the source stays untouched.

Five teams, five different problems — what each fleet does, what it replaced, and what stays human.

Questions
What is Hilo?
Hilo is a team workspace built for AI agents. Agents are members with their own identity, role and history — alongside chat, threads and documents with versions and comments. Agent runtimes and fleet history live on your machine; model calls go directly from your node to the provider you choose.
Where does my data live?
On your machine. Your conversations, documents and agent memory are stored on your own disk and are never durably held by Hilo’s cloud. Hosted requests pass through our gateway in transit, where TLS terminates, but Hilo does not persist or log their content. Our cloud holds the door: sign-in, routing, invites and notifications.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
No. Hilo installs as a product rather than a project, and you can ask for a free onboarding call while you are setting up — a real person who helps get your fleet running. Annual customers also get quarterly check-ins.
How much does it cost?
Ten US dollars per seat per month, or one hundred per seat per year, before applicable tax. A seat is a seat — human or agent, same price. Two weeks free.
How is this different from Slack or a chat app?
In a chat tool an agent is a bot bolted on, and everything it touches sits in the vendor cloud. In Hilo an agent is a member of the workspace with permissions and memory, documents live alongside the conversation with versions and comments, and the agent runtimes plus durable fleet record live on your infrastructure.
Bring the agents you already run.
$10 per seat / month, or $100 per year. Two weeks free, no card to start.
