hiy.ai — an AI twin that answers like you, and cites its sources
The short version
What is hiy.ai — an AI twin that answers like you, and cites its sources?
hiy.ai is an AI platform that creates an 'AI twin' of a user or organization, trained on provided sources like blog posts, YouTube videos, files, and pasted text. It is designed to answer questions in the user's voice, cite its sources, and admit when it does not know an answer. The platform offers three distinct products: an Expert Twin for public-facing pages, a Support Agent for customer-facing documentation, and a Team Agent for internal team communication.
The platform emphasizes 'honesty' by requiring the AI to cite sources for every answer, admit when it lacks information, and avoid inventing answers. It also features a 'teach' mechanism where user corrections are learned and applied to future interactions.

Quick answers
hiy.ai — an AI twin that answers like you, and cites its sources FAQ
Can visitors tell they are talking to an AI?
Yes, every surface is labeled as AI, and this label cannot be removed on any plan.
What happens when the AI cannot answer a question?
It states that it does not know the answer, and for Support Agents, it offers to hand the thread to a person. The unanswered question is added to the user's teach queue.
Do I need a developer to use hiy.ai?
No developer is needed for the hosted hiy.ai page. For embedding on a website, you only need to paste a script tag. For integration into your own product, a developer is required to mint visitor tokens.
Can it answer in Slack or WhatsApp today?
No, it does not answer natively inside these apps.
