What is Hey Data?
DATA is an AI co-worker that replaces Siri with an open-source and open-prompt version of ChatGPT or any other language model. It is a self-guided, proactive AI and software agent able to learn, remember, and communicate by text or email like a person. DATA makes decisions by getting to know you, and the platform makes sharing context easy and secure while keeping you in control of your information.
DATA works across all Apple devices including Watch, HomePods, CarPlay, Vision Pro, iPad, iPhone, and Mac through iOS Shortcuts integration. You can also use DATA through web chat, voice, email, text, iMessage, or WhatsApp on any device including flip phones. DATA writes code for you, creates hundreds of iOS Shortcuts and Skills (TypeScript code files), and can produce videos, summarize documents, transcribe meetings, auto-post on social media, run advanced searches, manage calendars and email, draft well-researched documents, auto-reply to messages, and generate customized podcasts.

Anyone can use DATA by talking or texting through text, email, iMessage, WhatsApp, or through the online chat interface.
How does DATA Shortcuts integration work?
iOS Shortcuts is a default app pre-installed on all Apple devices. DATA integrates natively with shortcuts - in fact DATA started out as just a shortcut. This allows DATA to do home automation and other amazing things with ease thanks to Apple's secure ecosystem. Shortcuts run locally on your device keeping your data secure, or can run online with the server to sync memories across devices.

Can DATA write code for me?
Yes. If you dream up something new for DATA to do, just ask DATA to write the skill to do it and describe how you want it to work. A few minutes later you will receive a finalized version of the code for that DATA skill that will be reviewed and added for everyone to use, and you will receive a portion of DATA Credits whenever someone uses it.
How does UltraBrowse work?
UltraBrowse uses GPT-3 and GPT-4 to make several sequential calls, up to 15 parallel calls, and parse, analyze, rank, and summarize vast amounts of information from up to 5000 web pages, PDFs, and images in just a few minutes for about a dollar. UltraBrowse reads all these pages and documents until it finds your answer and responds with a neatly formatted markdown document in less than a minute.
What are DATA Skills and DATA Credits?
DATA Skills are language-model-agnostic prompts and software API Routes that DATA writes for you whenever you ask it to do something new. DATA Credits are the incentive system DATA uses to increase compute efficiency exponentially over time by sharing costs for making DATA Skills between all DATA Creators. Partners can cover their AI costs by open sourcing lessons they learn about using AI with other Creators.
What is a DATA Partner?
DATA Partners are teams of two or more DATA Creators who have shared team memories, priority automatic fallbacks to the best models, and no rate limits. Partners get access to hundreds of pre-built AI Agents they can run for hours, days, or weeks via cross-platform chat, voice, email, or DMs/text messages. The first 50 application spots are available for Founding DATA Partners.
Is my data private with DATA?
Yes. DATA keeps you in control of your information. The website and shortcuts offer different interfaces to ensure privacy and provide a customizable AI experience. Shortcuts run locally on your device keeping data secure. Your DATA requests remain private and are not used to train new AI models without your consent. DATA responses are stored in a GDPR and CCPA compliant CRM, and they will never share or sell your information.
