Your best idea shouldn't get buried
You save inspiration everywhere and lose most of it. Hilo captures every clip, article, and reference you browse and turns it into instant, sourced answers — so scattered inputs become your next piece.

If ideas are your raw material
Different formats, same job: gather inspiration, research the topic, and ship the piece before the idea goes cold.
Every input, on the record
You already do all of this. Hilo captures the whole trail as you browse — so no clip or reference goes missing.
The cost of save and forget
Your best idea is buried
76% of people save content they never revisit — the reference or hook you needed is buried, not gone.
Drowning in inputs
80% of workers now report information overload — up from 60% in 2020 — and creators feel it hardest.
Re-finding eats the week
For weekly creators, 70% of the time goes to research and re-hunting saved inspiration — only 30% to making the thing.
Scattered across tools
Clips, swipe files, and notes sprawl across 9+ apps, tabs, and DMs — so the best reference stays buried.
Your next post is buried in what you saved.
From collector to creator
Your value is the piece you ship, not the pile you saved. Hilo handles the rest on three beats: Read, Connect, Report.
Read
Every clip, article, and reference you browse is captured automatically — nothing lost when tabs close.
Connect
Videos, tweets, articles, and AI chats are linked into one graph across every source you saw.
Report
Ask for an angle; Hilo drafts the outline from the research you already gathered.
Auto-capture
Every page you browse is saved automatically — no more save-and-forget.
Living swipe files
Each topic or series gets its own living swipe file — clips, articles, notes, references.
Ask your archive
Ask “find everything I saved on this topic” — no digging through folders.
Cross-source links
Videos, tweets, articles, and AI chats join into a single connected view.
Sourced recall
Every saved clip comes back with its source — never guess where it came from again.
Instant outlines
Turn a topic vault into an outline in seconds — drafted from what you already read.
