The right hand you've been missing, without the ramp-up

You've already decided you need help. But hiring takes real time and money: job posts, interviews, training, and salary. And the whole time, they're learning your business from scratch.

HiO skips all of that. Setup takes about five minutes, and from the first day it knows your customers, what's in stock, and how you talk. It works like you right away, with no sick days, no time off, and a fraction of the cost of a new hire.

Frequently asked questions

Is HiO cheaper than hiring an employee?

Yes. HiO starts free, and paid plans cost less than a single day's pay for most hires. There's no salary, no payroll taxes, and no benefits to manage.

How long does it take to set up HiO?

About five minutes. Connect your accounts, and HiO gets to work right away, no onboarding process, no training period.

Can HiO actually replace a new hire?

HiO is great for small businesses who aren't ready to hire someone, but need additional help. HiO handles customer replies, spots growth opportunities, and helps with marketing, the kind of work that would otherwise take one or more people. It's built to be a full partner, not a single-task tool.

Does HiO know my business the way an employee would?

It knows more from day one than most new hires do in their first few weeks. HiO reads your store, your site, and your social presence, and it already understands your industry, so you're not starting from scratch explaining the basics.

What if I still want to hire someone eventually?

HiO isn't an either-or decision. Plenty of businesses use HiO to handle the day-to-day so they can be more selective about who they hire next, and when. You can get multiple user seats on any HiO paid plan.

Is my business data safe with HiO?

Yes. HiO only uses your data to serve your customers and support your business. It's never sold, shared, or used to post on your behalf, and you're always in charge of what goes out.

Do I need any technical or AI experience to use HiO?

No. There's nothing to configure, no automations to build, no prompts to learn. Just connect your tools, and HiO takes it from there.

Good help is hard to find.
Until now.
