One engine, and it shows its work.

Everything hiy does runs on the same loop. Your material goes in, answers come out with the passage they came from, and the questions it couldn't answer come back to you — where answering one teaches it permanently.

  1. Sources

    What you actually made — writing, talks, notes, a CV.

  2. Cited answer

    Grounded in a passage your visitor can open and read for themselves.

  3. Honest gap

    No material, no answer — and it shows you the searches it ran first.

  4. Teach

    You answer the question once, in your own words.

  5. Reindex

    It uses your answer from then on, and cites you for it.

And back to sources — the gap you answered is now one of them.

Three things it will not trade away.

Grounded

It answers from material you added, and nothing else. No general-knowledge filler, no confident guess dressed as an answer.

Cited

A grounded answer opens to the actual passage behind it, and links back to where it lives on your own page.

Or silent

When your material runs out it says so — and shows how many searches it ran before giving up. No plan can remove this.

Trust

Answers that show their work

Every grounded answer carries the passage it came from. Open the citation and you read the actual source text — not a title, the evidence.

  • Answers drawn only from material you added
  • Passage-level citations a visitor can open
  • Grounded in what you actually made
How it works

How do you price a first project?

Price the outcome, not your hours — start with the smallest version that still delivers the whole result.

Trust

It says “I don't know”

When your material doesn't cover something, your twin says so instead of inventing an answer. The question goes to you, you answer once, and it uses your words from then on.

  • Gaps admitted, not papered over
  • Unanswered questions queue for you
  • One answer teaches it permanently

I don't have that in my knowledge yet.

Waiting for you

“Do you run workshops for teams?”

Answered once — used from now on

Control

It stays in your lane

Left alone, a language model will answer anything. Yours won't. Say what you cover, choose how firmly it declines everything else, and add topics it should never touch.

  • Strict, balanced, or loose — your call
  • Declines trivia, coding help, homework
  • Off-limits topics, declined in your tone

Write me a python script

That's not really my thing — I help founders with pricing and positioning. Happy to dig into either.
Stayed in scope

Growth

Conversations become people

Optionally let visitors leave their details so you can reply personally — after a few messages, or exactly when your twin couldn't answer. Off by default; always dismissible.

  • You choose if, when, and what it asks
  • A People list with what they asked about
  • CSV export, and delete anyone any time

Getting there

Live and sounding like you. A few things would still make it stronger.

Every one of those is the same five steps.

Which is why a twin gets better by being used. The questions it can't answer are the ones worth answering, and answering one is what turns it into a source.

  1. Sources

  2. Cited answer

  3. Honest gap

  4. Teach

  5. Reindex

And back to sources — the gap you answered is now one of them.

And one place to run it all.

Conversations arrive, questions queue for you, people wait for a reply — and your twin tells you what to do next.

The hiy creator dashboard: a readiness reading with the next step, the teach-your-hiy composer holding an unanswered visitor question, recent conversations, and this week's coverage.

The dashboard itself — a demo account showing the loop: recent conversations and the one question waiting to be taught.

Make one in about a minute.

One source in, a working twin out. No card, and nothing is public until you say so.
