Hero is an innovative all-in-one productivity app that consolidates notes, schedules, and to-dos into a single, user-friendly interface.

Kowalk envisions a future where users will prefer comprehensive apps like Hero over multiple specialized apps, driven by the increasing availability of AI tools.

Hero has successfully raised $4 million in seed funding from notable investors, including Instacart founder Max Mullen and the musical group the Chainsmokers.

An AI assistant within Hero enables users to create events, reminders, and notes, while also answering queries and allowing web searches to be saved as notes.

Hero promotes collaboration by allowing users to share their schedules, tasks, and notes with friends, family, or teammates.

Developed by former Meta employees Brad Kowalk and Seung W. Lee, the app aims to help users save time rather than waste it.

The app features a comprehensive single screen that displays the day's schedule, weather, to-do list, grocery list, and notes, along with a daily brief similar to Instagram Stories.

The app is currently free for users, with plans to monetize through grocery transactions facilitated by its integration with Instacart.

Hero is also focused on enhancing voice interaction capabilities, developing a habits tracker, and enabling event creation from images or screenshots.
