What is HiCyou?

HiCyou is an open source directory platform that uses AI to catalogue and organise software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools. It helps users discover, compare, and evaluate SaaS products through an AI-powered search and recommendation system. The platform is built on open source code, meaning anyone can inspect, modify, or self-host the software. It's designed for people who need to find suitable business tools, developers who want to understand how AI-powered directories work, and organisations that want to create their own customised tool directories. Because it's open source rather than proprietary, users have full transparency over how the platform works and can contribute improvements back to the community.
