Every source you opened, back in seconds
Every story means dozens of tabs, PDFs, and interviews — and one buried quote you swear you read somewhere. Hilo captures every source you open and gives you instant recall, with attribution.

If your byline runs on sources
Different beats, same job: read everything, verify it, and connect the facts into a story before deadline.
Your reporting, on the record
You already do all of this. Hilo captures the whole trail as you report — so no source ever slips away.
The hidden cost of scattered reporting
A week lost re-finding
You spend 20–30% of the week hunting for a source, quote, or link you already read once.
The quote you can't relocate
The line you need is buried in one of forty tabs — and you can't remember which.
Sources scattered everywhere
Articles, PDFs, and posts live across a dozen tools with no single place to search.
To refocus after a switch
Every interruption costs 20+ minutes to get back into the thread of the story.
The story is scattered across your tabs. Hilo connects it.
From tab chaos to clarity
Your value is the story, not the search. Hilo handles the rest on three beats: Read, Connect, Report.
Read
Every article, PDF, and post you open is captured automatically — nothing lost when tabs close.
Connect
Sources, documents, and interviews are linked into one timeline across every story you chase.
Report
Ask a question; Hilo drafts from your reporting — every claim traced to its source.
Every source, captured
Everything you read is saved automatically — no manual bookmarking, ever.
Story & beat vaults
Each story or beat gets its own space — sources, documents, interviews, notes.
AI investigation
Ask “find every source that mentions this name” — no scrolling through history.
Connections & timeline
Facts across sources join into a connected timeline that surfaces the gaps in your story.
Quote & link recall
Every quote comes back with its source and URL attached — ready to cite, never guessed.
Faster drafting
Draft from what you already reported — Hilo knows every source you read.
