HAL (gethal.com) is an AI assistant you talk to like any chat. The difference is where it lives: inside your mail, your calendar, your notes and your reminders, with one memory of you, and with real people behind it for the moments a model is the wrong tool. It runs on iOS, Android and the web, and the Lite level is free.
| A typical AI chat app | HAL | |
|---|---|---|
| Models | One vendor | Several vendors in tiers: Lite, Smart and Genius |
| Memory | Per chat, or a profile you edit | One memory built from what you do in HAL, that you can see and edit |
| Not included | Your own inbox at gethal.com, with scheduled send and follow-up reminders | |
| Calendar and reminders | Paste them in | Part of the product; HAL creates and moves them and gives you a brief before meetings |
| Voice | Sometimes | HAL Voice, including a meeting mode that summarises into your note |
| When AI is not enough | You are on your own | HAL hands the conversation to a real person |
| Depth in one task | A dedicated tool is better at its single job | Broader, and connected |
Written from each product’s public documentation. These are good, mature tools and this page says where they are still better. No prices here: they change on their own and the page would end up lying without anyone touching it.
An AI assistant made by HAL (gethal.com). It is not a running coach, wine software or a training plan: it is a chat assistant with your mail, calendar, notes and real people behind it.
Yes, the Lite level is free. Smarter models, sessions with people and some extras are paid with coins.
iOS, Android and any browser at gethal.com.
Yes. HAL keeps one memory of you, and you can open it, edit pages or forget everything.
It is not the deepest tool in any single category: a dedicated mail client, notes app or task manager is better at its one job. And a video takes minutes and arrives in your Archive, not in the chat.
