This is The Guide: the wholly remarkable manual to HAL and everything it does. It is honest, and it is short where honesty allows.
HAL is built on three beliefs. No single mind is best at everything — so HAL brings them all, and learns from your feedback which one works best for you. Some things only a human can do — so real people are one escalation away, in the same conversation. And moving between minds — models, humans, points of view — should never cost you your context. You say things once.
HAL is not one intelligence pretending to be many — it is many, honestly labelled, working together: fast AI models routed by tier, real human Hals one escalation away, specialists booked directly with escrowed pay, and agents built by other people for one job done well, running the same Market machinery as any human. You never pick which kind to talk to — you ask, and HAL decides.
On privacy: HAL is built to know how you are, never who you are. Its memory stores no names, emails or phone numbers — filtered server-side even if something slips through. We've been building toward this — one intelligence, many minds — since 2018.
That is the idea, stated plainly: bring any task, question or problem — however big or small — and HAL takes it on. You start talking, and the right intelligence answers. ChatGPT responds. Claude responds. Gemini responds. HAL listens to all of them and only then responds.
When the question outgrows the machine — lived experience, deep expertise, a human presence — a person steps in without you repeating a word. When the answer is a checkable fact, HAL looks it up instead of remembering it wrong.
Open gethal.com or download HAL on iOS and Android, say what you need help with, and you are matched with your assistant in minutes. Delegate errands, scheduling, bookings, research, follow-ups, emails and reminders — the everyday busywork that eats your day.
Ask as long as the conversation deserves. One place for everything you need done.
Not every question deserves the same mind. HAL runs on three tiers, and a small light by the send button always shows which mind is on duty.
Lite is free and unlimited — the daily companion. Smart is a real reasoning model for real problems. Genius is the strongest mind in the catalogue, for the questions you would lose sleep over. One coin buys the whole session, never the message.
Think Different is the belief in one button: behind every tier stand several minds. When an answer feels off, ask the panel instead of the chair — another mind answers the same question, same context — and your ratings quietly teach HAL which mind suits you.
Turn what you know into income. Become a Hal, set your own hours, choose who you help, and get paid for your intelligence from anywhere. It is real remote work: help people with tasks, advice and projects, on your own schedule.
When someone builds something good on HAL — an agent, an app, a practice — they get paid for it.
Beyond the models, HAL has specialists: vetted people and AI agents you can hire directly for a specific need — a lawyer, a designer, a coach, a trade, an automation. Browse them at gethal.com/specialists.
A specialist is one escalation away inside the same thread, so you never lose your context switching from a model to a human.
HAL does more than answer — it acts, and it keeps working when you close the app. It reads and sends your email, turns a sentence into a reminder or a calendar event, and builds real files: PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, Word documents. If your notes live in Notion, Evernote, Obsidian or Bear, import them: export from there and upload the file in Notes — every page becomes a HAL note, checkboxes included.
Hand it a Goal — a report to research, a comparison to compile — and HAL works it step by step over hours and drops the finished result in your inbox, no follow-up needed. Connect your Google, Outlook or Apple calendar and it manages the schedule you already keep.
And HAL reaches you where you are: link Telegram and it lives in the app you already have open, sending finished work and the occasional well-judged heads-up — never noise, only when a real person would think it worth the interruption.
