Fully Managed Autonomous AI
Realize Your AI Vision with Our Fully Managed Autonomous AI
Choosing Hal9 means partnering with a team that takes your AI vision and, using autonomous AI, turns it into a working, scalable, AI-powered reality without the hassle of building an AI team from scratch.
Our fully managed AI handles everything: from brainstorming and rapid prototyping (think days, not months) to building, integrating, hosting, and maintaining your AI features. This end-to-end service lets startup founders like you balance other critical areas, like sales, marketing, and fundraising, while we bring your ideas to life. With startup-friendly pricing, full ownership of your IP and data, and the expertise to scale as you grow, Hal9 is your shortcut to launching fast and succeeding.
How It Works
Design, Build, Refine, Maintain, Scale
1. Prototype
Manifest Your Vision into a Plan
Type what you want, then click build to let our AIs refine your idea. They’ll narrow the scope to focus on the core experience, break your product down into clear stages, propose the best technology stack, and build the frontend. All for free.
2. Launch
Turn Your Plan into a Demo
Buy credits to create and run your product demo. Credits can be used to build with AI agents or AI experts, and to run your demo using AI compute, AI storage, and AI tokens — with support for all major LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, and more).
We’re currently running a limited-time promo : get $200 in free tokens after you build your prototype.
3. Scale
Turn Demo into a Product
As your startup grows, scale with us. Purchase additional credits as needed, or enroll in our startup plan for $2,000/month. This plan has already helped dozens of founders successfully scale their products and is the best option for serious startup teams.
Our Platform
Autonomous AI Platform for AI Startups
Our AI platform builds powerful AI products: anything from chatbots and agents to API services powering AI-first websites, mobile apps, and extensions. Our experts can drive the process by writing Python code ang guide model-agnostic AI agents write code themselves. We ensure privacy, security and reliability by running each product in its own isolated Kubernetes pod.
Built for Generative AI
Create AI solutions from prompts, craft the right prompts with us, and watch your first demo come to life in seconds.
Private and Secure
Our platform can run in any cloud or on your own data centers, and your content can run securely in isolated runtimes powered by Kubernetes.
Model Agnostic
Large Language Models are evolving rapidly, and we support all of them with proper token management and auditing.
Customizable with Python
Building complex solutions requires changing code, which is why everything we do is powered by Python code and the best open-source libraries.
What Can Hal9 Create
Anything from Chatbots, Agents, Apps and Extensions
AI Chatbots
Hal9 can create custom AI chatbots with secure access to specific knowledge bases and embed them into your website, app or software product. For example, AskCourtCases is an AI-powered legal research tool that transforms how attorneys access federal and state court case information. Unlike PACER’s document-only approach, it provides instant, precise answers to case-specific questions with referenced sources.
AI Agents
Hal9 can create automated workflows leveraging AI where it provides the most value. We've developed agents exposed as APIs that generate advanced reports, audits, and file processing. For example, our case studies with Propio and Greenny explain how Hal9 can automate financial reporting and carbon footprint audits that are performed in seconds and not weeks.
AI Websites
Hal9 can create websites which leverage AI for: content, backoffice processes, recommendations, and so much more. Every existing or new website can use an AI redesign. For example, you can try the Hal9 Roadmap Generator which uses AI built by the Hal9 Platform to deliver an AI roadmap even before we start working together.
AI Apps
Hal9 can create mobile applications that fully leverage AI. It can use AI to access all the hardware sensors from your phone to provide new mobile experiences. For example, Zoo Mobile Guide is a mobile app designed to be used in specific venues, and leverage your location and voice to provide personalized guided experiences.
AI Extensions
Hal9 can create AI APIs that interacts with other software products. An example of this is the Reply Chrome Extension that delivers fast, AI-crafted replies to social media messages. Powered by Hal9 Platform, which provides a robust API to the custom-built Chrome Extension.
