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.

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

A memory that does
the remembering.

Hickory keeps the details you'd otherwise carry in your head, and puts them to work for you, your household and your team.

01 · Tell it once

Mention it in passing. Ask for it whenever.

Hickory holds onto the small facts you'd otherwise have to dig for, and hands them back the moment you ask.

Your memory

  • Parked in Lot C, row 14

    “Where's the car?” Lot C, row 14, from your text Tuesday.

  • Ollie's 4-month checkup is Dec 3, 10 amShared with Sam

    “When's Ollie's checkup?” Dec 3 at 10, with Dr. Reyes.

  • Maya wears a kids' 13 now

    “What size boots for Maya?” Kids' 13, since October.

  • Riley is allergic to tree nuts

    “Can Riley have these granola bars?” No, they contain almonds.

02 · Follows through

Days, weeks or months later, it acts.

You don't set the reminder. Hickory works out when something matters and does the next step then.

  1. “Sam lands at 6:40 on Friday.”

    You, in chat · Wed

    Fri 5:45 pm · 2 days later

    Time to leave for the airport pickup.

  2. “Car registration is due Jan 15.”

    You, a photo of the notice · Nov 20

    Jan 8 · 7 weeks later

    Renewal link and plate number, ready to go.

  3. “Plumber says check the water heater in six months.”

    You, by text · Nov 12

    May 12 · 6 months later

    Reminder sent, with the plumber's number.

03 · The whole house knows

One person's update reaches everyone.

In a shared Space, what Priya tells Hickory updates Sam's calendar and reminders too. Nobody forwards a thing.

04 · Work Space Coming later

Your team's follow-ups, handled. The docs, written.

A team Space remembers who promised what, follows up on time and keeps shared docs current. Your personal notes stay yours.

Illustrative examples

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

Ingredients → Home › Groceries

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.

“Make my note to the teacher warmer.”

Leo will be absent Friday.

Hi Ms. Rivera, a quick heads-up that Leo will be out on Friday. Thank you for everything this term!

Writing help

“What did we decide last week?”

Team Space · Notes

Launch moves to the 18th. Priya owns the checklist.

From Monday's notes

Work, too

Shared Spaces for a small team: notes, plans and what was decided.

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.

  1. 11:40 pm

    “Tell me when my rain jacket ships.”
