Hickory
Invite-only alpha

Your own AI.
Always on.
Better together.

Hickory is a personal assistant that remembers what matters, keeps working when you step away, and grows roots with the people you share life or work with.

Request access →See how it grows

Every Hickory in this scene is illustrative. Example names, not real people.

Illustration: a grove of shagbark hickory trees at dusk. Each tree is one person's Hickory. One is planning the week's dinners, one has agreed a dinner time, and one prepared a morning brief overnight.

Memory

Leaves fall.
Memories stay.

Every conversation leaves something behind: a date, a preference, a plan. Hickory keeps the useful bits close to the roots, so the next answer already knows them.

You can see what your Hickory remembers and remove anything. Each person has their own memory. Memory is rolling out during the alpha.

Spaces Coming soon

Where roots meet,
a Space grows.

Everyone keeps their own Hickory. A shared Space is where your roots meet: a list, notes, a calendar for home or work. Your Hickory contributes when you approve, or on its own for the Tools you allow.

Lists start on Just do it and Calendar on Ask first. Change either per Space. Anything that leaves Hickory, like sending a message or buying something, always asks first.

What it does

Deeper roots.
More it can carry.

The things people ask assistants most are everyday: how do I, what's for dinner, help me word this. Hickory handles those, then keeps the result somewhere useful.

“What's for dinner this week?”

Plan for 4 nights · vegetarian, quick

  • Lentil soup
  • Mushroom tacos
  • Sheet-pan gnocchi
  • Chickpea curry

Meals and groceries

Plans around what your household likes, then writes the list.

“When can we all do dinner?”

WedThu7:00Fri

Ask firstAdd Thu 7:00 to Home?

Shared calendars

Finds the time that works for everyone and asks before booking it.

“Help me make sense of Ollie's checkup notes.”

In plain words

Growth is on track. The doctor wants a follow-up for the cough if it lasts.

Remembered: next checkup Dec 3

Understand health notes

Explains, suggests questions for the next visit and remembers the date. It helps you prepare; it doesn't diagnose.

“Plan a long weekend in Asheville.”

  • Fri Drive up, dinner downtown
  • Sat Easy trail, river walk
  • Sun Market, head home

Packing list → Trip Space

Trips

A draft itinerary that fits how you travel, plus the packing list.

Always on Coming soon

It keeps working while you sleep.

Ask once and Hickory keeps watch: a morning brief before you're up, a heads-up when something ships, a reminder the day before it matters. Anything that would leave Hickory still asks you first.
