Hey HN! Kanyes here, one of the cofounders of Hyper. Here all day to answer any questions :)

As a person with a career in heavily regulated space who would very much like to try a product like this so we stop spending time on it in-house:

Hyper doesn't copy your Gmail inbox or Notion workspace onto our servers. We extract the meaningful signal — decisions, insights, key facts and context — and discard the rest.

This sentence does you no good, it just says we exfiltrate what matters.

Your data is hosted on managed AWS infrastructure with AES-256 encryption at rest at the storage layer and TLS in transit.

This sentence is like a code smell right up there with military grade. The first claim applies to effectively every hard drive these days, the second claim applies to every website with http"s". They do not differentiate you, instead they show you don't know what claims matter. These copy-pasta claims work only for buyers who don't actually have any regulations to comply with.

and we're blazing towards making our compliance fit your needs as quickly as possible

Again, this does you no good.

PS. Did you get rights for Jetsons footage? On the one hand, copyright might not apply as it's a short clip and the form seems unsuitable for uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original, but by using it in marketing you could open yourselves up to failure to license and compensate the content owner for the implied endorsement.

Appreciate the feedback. We are not currently a good fit for highly-regulated industries like gov't or medical, though we are working to meet those requirements. We currently run Hyper on our (cloud) infra because it's far and away the lowest-friction option for teams that are comfortable with it. Understand that it's not for everyone, and our security and compliance posturing will mature with time and iteration (we are a very new company!).

> We are not currently a good fit for highly-regulated industries like gov't or medical, though we are working to meet those requirements.

What you just wrote is better than what the FAQ says:

"If your organization has high security requirements, please talk to us."

Which is why I took time to talk to you. You should say, in the FAQ, you are today a best fit for open/transparent teams without information boundaries, but would like to learn more about those needs from firms both wanting a company brain and required to partition it.

Just to be clear: gov and medical are the same needs as non-regulated industries, meaning, every enterprise needs information boundaries. It's just that gov and med have extra regulators checking them. Thinking those are the only two mean you're overlooking a ton of firms that have the need as well. (Who should see comp? Who should see prospect deal strategy? Who should see cap tables? Etc.)

> our security and compliance posturing will mature with time and iteration

"security posture" (as in stance) not "security posturing" (as in pretending)

Tried it, none of the integrations work, they do not connect, notion, slack, etc... I think you probably posted this a bit too soon, IMHO. :/

Very strange, haven't seen this before. Could you shoot us an email at founders@heyhyper.ai with some more details about what you're seeing?
