About Hedy AI

Hedy AI was founded with a simple but ambitious vision: to help everyone unlock their full potential in every conversation.

Founded by Julian Pscheid, our small but passionate team is dedicated to creating the world's most accessible AI meeting coach. After 20 years of running a digital product agency, Julian now focuses on building technology that enhances human intelligence rather than replacing it.

Based in the United States (Portland, Oregon), we believe that everyone has the capacity for brilliance—sometimes, they just need the right support at the right moment. Whether you're a student navigating lectures in a second language, a professional seeking confidence in high-stakes meetings, or anyone who wants to contribute more meaningfully to conversations, Hedy is designed to help you shine.

Named after Hedy Lamarr, the brilliant inventor and Hollywood star who laid the foundation for modern wireless communication, we embody the same spirit of innovation and versatility. Just as Lamarr's work connected the world, we're connecting people to their full potential in every conversation.

What drives us:

Global accessibility

We support 30+ languages and design for users worldwide, not just premium Western markets.

Efficiency by design

From day one, we've built Hedy to run efficiently on any device, anywhere in the world—because powerful AI shouldn't require the latest hardware or perfect internet connections.

Ambient intelligence

We're working toward AI that understands you so well it knows when and how to help without being asked—like having a brilliant advisor who only speaks when they have something truly valuable to add.

Individual empowerment

We focus on helping individuals shine, whether they're students, professionals, or anyone seeking to contribute more confidently.

Privacy-first innovation

Our on-device processing ensures your conversations remain private while still delivering powerful AI insights.

Inclusive innovation

We design for the student whose primary language isn't English, the professional who lacks confidence in meetings, and anyone who's been priced out of premium AI tools.
