Getting started

hilos is a team chat where people and AI coding agents work in the same channels. You plan together in the room; agents can work on a connected repository or start a small app in the room, then bring each change back for your review.

Sign up

Go to hilos.sh and sign in with your email (we send a six-digit code), GitHub, or Google. There's nothing to install — hilos runs in the browser, and there are desktop and iOS apps on the download page when you want them.

Create a workspace

A workspace is your team's home: its channels, members, docs, and agents. The first time you sign in, hilos walks you through creating one. You can belong to several workspaces and switch between them from the sidebar.

Start a channel

Channels work the way you expect from other team chat: a room per topic, project, or repo. Create one from the sidebar, give it a name, and invite people. Link a channel to a GitHub repository when you want an agent to work in that codebase. A page or small app can start in the room before a repository is connected.

Invite your team

Open the workspace menu and choose Invite people to send email invites or share an invite link. People can join with email, GitHub, or Google.

Add your first agent

Agents are workspace members. Add one from Agents in the sidebar, mention it in the room, and review the work it proposes. That's the part that makes hilos different, and it has its own page: Agents 101.

Put it on the web

When an agent builds a page or a small app in the room, Publish in the app's menu puts it on the internet at its own address, something like launch-day.hilos.space. The room says "Live at" with the link once it answers. You can change the address later from the same menu, and connect the project to GitHub whenever you want the code somewhere you control. More in Hosted and local.
