We're building the conversational interface for everything.
Software has always been a graphical interface. The next generation of software won't be. It'll be conversation — voice, text, multimodal — happening seamlessly between humans and AI agents. Hania exists to make that interface trustworthy, fast, and easy to ship.
Our story
Built by people who built it before.
Our team came together after years of shipping production AI at Anthropic, OpenAI, Twilio, Stripe, and Apple. We spent a decade watching teams reinvent the same plumbing — orchestration, voice latency, tool calling, memory, retrieval — every single time they wanted to put an agent in front of users.
Hania is the platform we wanted to use ourselves. Voice that doesn't lag. Tools that anyone can build. Memory that respects scope. Compliance you don't have to bolt on. The version of an AI agent platform that takes both your customers and your CISO seriously.
Principles
What we optimize for.
Latency is a feature
Every millisecond we shave off voice or chat compounds into a better customer experience. We benchmark obsessively.
For everyone on the team
The best agents are built by the people closest to the customer — not just engineers. We build tools that anyone can use.
Trust is non-negotiable
SOC 2, HIPAA, EU residency, audit logs — not optional add-ons. Customer data is never used for training, ever.
No vendor lock-in
Export your data anytime. Bring your own model keys. We compete on quality, not on holding you hostage.
Honest defaults
We make the right thing the easy thing. Hallucination-prone? We flag it. Cost-creep? We surface it. Bad pattern? We push back.
Ship, then measure
Most agent platforms ship demos. We ship things teams use to handle millions of real conversations every week.
