Hyv: invite-only AI assistant, features, access and limits
Hyv is a personal AI assistant that lives inside chat apps. Its pages say it can set reminders, draft email and calendar invites in your Google account, and phone businesses for you. It is invite-only and we could not try it. This guide reports only what Hyv's own pages say, and where they disagree.
Quick facts
- Hyv's site (hyv.me) says it "lives across chats, apps, computers, and trusted circles". The same page says it starts with trusted circles "on Telegram today, with the same intent layer designed for WhatsApp, apps, and computers".
- A Hyv post dated 12 October 2026 on its Substack says Hyv works "inside WhatsApp and Telegram". Hyv's privacy policy and terms (effective 29 September 2026) only mention Telegram (@usehyvbot). We could not tell from these pages whether WhatsApp is live for everyone.
- Access is invite-only. Hyv's own post says a member gets one personal invite link, and the number of people it can bring in is limited. Hyv's site also has a waitlist button.
- Hyv's terms say some features may require payment, with the price and terms shown before you are charged. We found no price list.
- Its calling feature, per Hyv's post, covers outgoing calls to businesses in the UAE and India. Each person gets up to five calls a day by default, and you confirm each call.
- Hyv is operated by Decimal - F.Z.C, a company licensed in Ajman Free Zone, United Arab Emirates, per its privacy policy.
- We did not sign up or message Hyv, so we did not test anything.
What it says it does
This is not a Q&A chatbot. Hyv's pages describe it as "a router for intent": it decides whether the next move is to build something, create a draft, coordinate people and time, connect two people who would both say yes, ask someone you trust, or wait. According to Hyv's 12 October post, what it does today is reminders, Google Workspace drafting (an email or calendar invite is not sent or created until you approve it) and trusted requests, where Hyv asks a person you name in their own chat.
What we saw on the official site
This is a capture of Hyv's public homepage. It shows the "Join the waitlist" button and the Telegram-first wording. It is not a test of the assistant.
Why this is different from a general chatbot
If Hyv works as described, the difference is that it acts in your accounts and on the phone, with approval steps, rather than only answering in text. Its terms also say its output may be inaccurate and you should review it before relying on it. We cannot say how well it works, because we did not use it. Treat everything above as the company's description.
How to get access
- Go to hyv.me. It has a "Join the waitlist" button. Hyv's Substack posts also say to reply to a post to ask for an invite.
- Or ask someone already on Hyv for their invite link. Hyv's post says the link is personal and each person has a limited number of invitations.
- Check which app you will use. The privacy policy and terms name Telegram only, so confirm WhatsApp is available for you before relying on it.
Limits and frictions
- Invite-only. Hyv's terms say it may limit, pause or decline access.
- You must be at least 16, per its terms.
- Conflicting channel information: WhatsApp is mentioned on Hyv's Substack but not in its policy documents, and its homepage says WhatsApp is "designed".
- Pricing is not published. Terms say some features may require payment and that fees are generally non-refundable.
- Calling is limited to businesses in the UAE and India, with a default of five calls a day, per Hyv.
- Connecting Google Workspace or GitHub gives Hyv access to the data you authorise, per its privacy policy. Review what you connect.
- We tested nothing. Features and limits can change.
Privacy
This section reports Hyv's privacy policy (effective 29 September 2026) and does not rest on any test or audit by us. The policy says Hyv collects Telegram account details, your messages and the intents it identifies in them, circle and invitation data, and, if you connect them, data from Google and GitHub. It says it does not sell personal information or use it for advertising. It says Google data is not used to develop or train generalised AI models, and that no person at Hyv reads it except in listed cases such as security or legal need or with your permission. For other data, it says service providers, including AI model providers, may not use your data for their own purposes, including training their models. It says you can ask for account deletion at privacy@hyv.me, with deletion within 30 days except for limited legal, security or fraud-prevention records. The policy also says information may be processed in other countries. The service is not directed to children under 16. Do not send passwords, bank details or confidential documents in chat until you have read the policy and decided it fits your needs.
Why it matters for Indian users
An assistant inside the chat apps you already use, that can place a call to an Indian business or draft an email for you to approve, could save small chores. But access is by invitation, the pricing is not stated and we could not confirm which chat app will work for you. We also did not check where Hyv's servers or AI providers are located beyond the policy's wording.
