Hey Data

Hey Data is an AI chat bot tool. DATA is an AI co-worker that answers by text, email or voice, remembers your context, and runs hundreds of community skills (calendar, inbox, summaries, transcripts, auto-replies) through iOS Shortcuts or a web chat, with support for GPT, Claude, Grok and Gemini.

Hey Data positions DATA as an AI co-worker rather than a chatbot. The product wraps a prompt layer around existing language models (the site names GPT, Claude, Grok and Gemini) so that the assistant behaves consistently and remembers what you have told it. Instead of opening an app and writing a careful prompt, you send a request the way you would message a colleague: by text, email, iMessage, WhatsApp, the web chat at chat.heydata.org, or by speaking. DATA then works on the task and messages you back when it is finished. The core idea is continuity. DATA learns and retains context you choose to share, and it forgets whatever you delete, so the same conversation and workload can follow you between models and between devices. The company describes it as a proactive agent that researches, makes decisions in line with your preferences, and communicates like a person. Because the assistant runs on text and voice, the site argues you never have to type or read if you would rather talk and listen. The skills system is what turns it into a working tool. Hey Data ships hundreds of community-built skills, either TypeScript code files or iOS Shortcuts, that DATA can trigger for complex jobs: summarizing documents, transcribing meetings, managing a calendar and inbox, auto-replying to messages, running searches, auto-posting to social, and generating podcasts or morning briefings. If a skill does not exist, you describe what you want and DATA writes the code, which the team reviews before publishing for everyone; creators receive a share of DATA Credits when others use their skill. It is aimed at people who want a general assistant rather than a single-purpose app: Apple users who want to replace Siri, small business owners, and anyone who prefers delegating by message. The main caveat is that depth of the product sits on iOS Shortcuts, so the most seamless experience is Apple-centric, and the catalogue is community driven rather than curated. It competes with general assistants and agent platforms, leaning on openness and model choice rather than a fixed ecosystem.
