hilo — a factory's brain
An AI agent that runs the floor of a textile workshop: it quotes, buys, and tracks production.
Overview
hilo is the nervous system of a Colombian textile workshop: it connects quoting with production, purchasing, and cash. On top lives an agent that captures information without friction and proposes the next step — always as a draft, never executing on its own.
Problem
In a garment workshop the information lives in people's heads and on paper: how much fabric each garment takes, what stage each order is in, what is owed to which supplier. Nobody has time to sit and fill in a system, so the system never reflects reality.
Solution
Drop the friction of data capture to zero and let an agent do the heavy lifting. You send a photo of an invoice over Telegram with a plain-language instruction and it proposes the entry; the operator scans a QR at their station and logs progress by quantity; the agent learns how much fabric each garment consumes by asking when it does not know.
