Airtable is a half-billion-dollar revenue business generating around a hundred million dollars in free cash flow per year, with over a billion dollars on the balance sheet. That financial strength allows Hyper Agent to be extremely generous
The design philosophy behind Hyper Agent is to serve the full range of users — from power users who want granular control over how the agent is set up, so they can squeeze out maximum bleeding-edge performance, all the way to people who jus
MembersAs users accumulate memories across many agents, managing those memories becomes its own problem. Hyper Agent recently shipped a defrag tool to address this. It auto-suggests related memories clustered by both keyword and embedding similari

Hyper Agent runs a full computer in the cloud — not on your own machine — with a full sandbox environment and complete coding capability. You can connect it to all your accounts: Slack, Granola, email, and more. It can send things on your b
Hyper Agent is built on the same design philosophy and obsession with great UX that the Airtable team applied to the no-code app category ten years ago, now brought to agents. Just as Airtable distilled the technical complexity of a Rails a
MembersHyper Agent is built around the idea that most other agent products out there — think Open Cloud and similar — are more like Linux: powerful but raw. Hyper Agent is the Mac version of that. It's a multi-window canvas workspace where an auto
