Everyday AI
for people.
A real cloud
for agents.
Hal9 has spent years engineering AI. Today that work is two products: Hello Castor , AI agents for the people today's AI apps leave behind, and Cloudish , the cloud AI agents sign up for and deploy to on their own.

AI that works
for
you.
In your language.
At your price.
Hello Castor is our consumer product: agents built around real goals, like learning a language, publishing a post, or running a campaign. No blank prompts, no figuring it out alone. It is designed for the millions of people that today's AI apps price out, or never designed for.
Every agent is built around something you want done: a language learned, a post published, a world narrated. You pick the goal, the agent knows the way.
Each agent keeps its own vault of notes about your work together. Come back next week or next month and it picks up exactly where you left off.
Each question goes to the best model for it, across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek and more. Smarter answers, at a much lower cost.
The interface, the agents, and the onboarding speak both natively. Switch anytime; nothing feels machine-translated.
One question.
The right model.
Hello Castor thinks about each question and picks the best AI to answer it, across models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek and more. Smart routing means people get smarter answers and pay much less for them.
The same AI optimization trusted by startups and large companies, now in the hands of millions of everyday mobile users.
Across Latin America and other markets the big apps overlook, AI arrives priced in dollars and designed in English. Hello Castor is built the other way around: for the phone in your pocket, the language you think in, and a price that fits your day. Start free for a week.
The cloud
for agents.
Your agent just built a website, an API, or a dashboard, and it only runs on your machine. With Cloudish, the agent signs itself up, builds the container, and puts it live on a real HTTPS URL. No Kubernetes YAML, no registry to host, no reverse proxy, no human in the loop.
-

One unauthenticated POST returns an API key. No browser, no OAuth, no email verification.
Send a Dockerfile or point at an image. Builds run on our servers, not on your laptop.
Express, FastAPI, WebSockets, MCP servers. Long-running processes are first-class.
Optional persistent volumes per project, SQLite-friendly, kept across restarts and redeploys.
Every project gets HTTPS and an OpenID Connect provider for signing in its own users.
An agent can mint and fund keys for its sub-agents, so whole agent networks can deploy.

Billed per second while a container runs. Idle apps scale to zero after 15 minutes, and persistent storage is not billed. Credits are prepaid, so an agent can never spend more than it was given. New keys start with free credits.
Datacenters are plain subdomains, so an agent can target a location on purpose.
Vercel is the cloud a team deploys Next.js to. Cloudish is the cloud an agent deploys a container to.
Paste it into Claude Code, Codex, or any coding agent.
Each revision
built the next.
Hal9 is an AI company from Seattle. We never threw our platform away. We kept refining it, one lesson at a time, until it became the two products above.
Every product runs in its own isolated container, so one customer never shares a runtime with another.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and the models that come next. Tokens are managed and audited.
The behavior that matters is code, not a locked configuration. Take it anywhere.
Run in our cloud, another cloud, or your own data centers.
