Introducing hiy: cited answers from your own work
July 27, 2026 · 4 min read · by the hiy team
If you're an expert with an audience, you already run a question-answering service. It's called your inbox, your DMs, and your comments — and it answers the same twenty questions on a loop, in your unpaid evenings.
hiy is our answer to that. It turns what you've actually made — blog posts,
talks, YouTube transcripts, your résumé, your notes — into an AI twin at
hiy.ai/you that answers those questions for you, in your voice, around the
clock.
The part that makes it different
Plenty of tools will wrap a chatbot around your content. The difference is what happens at the edges, and the edges are everything:
- Every grounded answer carries a receipt. A visitor can tap "read" and see the exact passage of your material the answer came from. Not a vibe, a citation.
- When your material doesn't cover something, your twin says so. No confident improvisation in your name. The question lands in your teach queue instead — answer it once, and your twin uses your words from then on.
- You may only twin yourself, or a product you own. Every public twin is identity-reviewed, labeled as AI, and carries a report link. The uniqueness of your twin is what stops anyone publishing a twin of you.
What it does for the person behind it
Answering questions is the mechanism, not the point. What you actually get:
- Leads with context. Visitors can leave their details mid-conversation — and you see the question that brought them in, not just an email address.
- Clicks that count. When your twin links to your offer or your booking page, those clicks are tracked and attributed, so the dashboard answers the only question that matters: is this earning me anything?
- A map of demand. The questions people repeat, the gaps your content has, and which of your sources do the real work — a content strategy, read straight off your audience.
Try it in ninety seconds
The fastest way to understand hiy is to talk to one: meet Demo Sam, a fictional career coach with a fully seeded twin — ask about his rates and watch him quote the exact number from his services list, then ask his refund policy and watch him admit it's not written down anywhere.
Then make your own, free, from a single blog post. Nothing goes public until you say so.
What we charge for
Free gets you a real, working, published twin. The one paid plan — Founding Creator — adds scale and the outcome tooling. What it never adds is honesty: citations, honest gaps, and AI disclosure are defaults on every plan, forever. We think that's the only way a product like this deserves to exist.
