We built our own AI model with a brain, heart and really good memory - meet Hito

Hey everyone!

We just launched Hito - a free AI assistant with memory, built on our own reasoning architecture.

Why we built it:

We were tired of AI that forgets everything the moment you close the tab. Explain your job, your preferences, your context - and the next day? Gone. Start over.

What makes it different:

• Our own state-of-the-art reasoning models using cognitive nested reasoning

• Persistent memory - it actually remembers you across conversations

• Real-time web search

• Your data stays yours - delete it anytime, no retention

• Open source weights (Safetensors + GGUF)

• Free forever

The approach:

We didn't want to wrap existing APIs. We built our own architecture from scratch focused on layered, human-like reasoning. The hardest part was making memory feel helpful, not invasive.
