HIA’s mission is to empower educational content publishers to radically expand their reach and impact by being digitally available to their audiences 24/7, and delivering them personalized content with the highest precision, consistency and accountability.
HIA is redefining how humans engage with educational content: our unique 2-way interactive solution allows publishers to present their rich media content, and have personalized 1-on-1 interactions with their viewers 24/7 in real time. They can talk to each other (not to AI), ask and answer questions, and connect to other resources - all without leaving the experience. HIA’s Author-Controlled AI (ACAI™) technology assures the authority and agency of the publishers bymaking sure all interactions with the viewers are 100% under their control.
Vacit Arat, Co-Founder & CEO
HIA is built around a simple principle: enable creators to interact 1-1 with their audiences directly while watching their content, and do that in a manner that lets them intimately control those interactions, not AI. Your video becomes an interactive experience where viewers can ask questions, explore ideas, and go deeper, without the risk of off-message or inaccurate responses. The result is real engagement, grounded in your knowledge, your voice, and yourintent.
