What they do

Problem

AI-first teams have fragmented, constantly changing information across tools that isn’t kept clean, shared, and usable by their AI assistants in real time.

Solution

Hyper is an agent-driven company knowledge brain that learns from updates across workplace tools, continuously cleans and updates shared knowledge, and injects it into existing AI chat tools each turn.

Who it's for

AI-first teams at startups and tech companies that use many SaaS tools and AI assistants.
