Collaborative workspaces for serious work, combining the flexibility of text, the structure of databases, and the power of integrations. Designed for teams working on formal, structured documents like legal contracts, technical specs, SOPs, and policies, HERO dynamically interconnects files, sections, terms, and data in an integrated environment with lightning-fast search—whether you have 10 or 10,000 project documents.

👋 Hey everyone,
I’m Kevin, the founder of HERO.
Thank you so much for checking out our launch today. We built HERO because serious work deserves better tools than paper-based documents built with word processors built in the 90s.
If your team works on contracts, policies, SOPs, technical specs, or any structured, formal documents, you know the pain:
information buried across multiple files, sections, exhibits, etc.
repeated copy-pasting
outdated definitions
impossible cross-referencing
version chaos
hours wasted searching for the right clause, number, term, or page
HERO solves this by combining the flexibility of text, the structure of a database, and the power of live integrations, all inside one collaborative workspace.
Everything becomes interconnected: sections → definitions → clauses → data variables → linked documents → live values .. And the search is instant, whether you have 10 or 10,000 documents.
With HERO, you save ~2 hours per day (every day):
No more digging for past clauses
No more re-entering data in multiple documents
No more checking if a definition was updated in all files
No more manually coordinating versions
No more rewriting work that already exists somewhere else
No more switching between Word, PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, and shared drives just to complete one task
When all your structured documents share the same definitions, data, and references and they update everywhere automatically, the time savings compound fast.
If you work in legal, operations, compliance, engineering, or any document-heavy field, HERO gives your team back 10 hours a week you’re currently losing to admin and document chasing.
We’ve poured a lot of heart, honesty, and hard lessons into building this.
Would love your feedback, questions, or just to hear how your team currently handles this kind of work.
Thanks for being here, it means a lot.

@kevin_touati Kevin, we maintain many SOPs and version chaos is VERY real. The idea that definitions update everywhere instantly… stood out to me. Well done! :)
@kevin_touati Does it support version history or rollbacks in case something gets overwritten?

@masump @kevin_touati Yeah we are :)
@kevin_touati Congrats on the launch! HERO looks fantastic. I'm wonderring how it handles collaboration across multiple teams? Can each team manage its own docs while still sharing globally without risking accidental overrides?
HERO
Thank you!!
Yes, this is doable.
Not to be the downer here, but I’m trying to understand the real differentiation from Notion and internal databases. Is the magic mostly in automated cross-referencing or is there more that I may be missing?

Bringing a structured, interconnected workspace to formal business documents is a brilliant step forward. Excited to see how teams leverage this to create faster, clearer, and more efficient workflows. Wishing you an amazing launch day and continued success.

@priyankamandal Thanks for the support!
Documentation.AI
Congrats on launching. For teams that already use Confluence + Git for technical documentation. Does HERO integrate or does it replace those entirely?

Very cool product, love the landing page and the big "2 hours" text 😉.
I'm Arnau from team Tiptap. I see Tiptap was used to build HERO. Please reach out to us if there is anything we can improve in Tiptap to help you build your product.

@huisong_li Thanks!
Congrats on the launch, very much needed - pretty much all my Compliance policies and terms are all done in Google Docs which is a pain to format.
Lots of potential, at the moment I can't seem to see any version control or more format options (such as font, color, weight). An initial published page defaults to a full width, max font size page which seems quite overwhelming.
But look forward to seeing how it develops in 2026.

Hi Dan, thanks for trying it out and the support!
Feedback is heard! As for version control, that is next up on the list so keep an eye out 👀
HERO
@dan_sear1 Please reach out and we will be happy to assist with the migration of your compliance policies and terms. Version control is definitely next on our product roadmap.
Formatting options could be handled as user preferences but we wanted to keep uniformity and consistency across all project documents so it will likely be one font applied to your entire workspace, unless you make use of relevant formatting blocks, in which case, the formatting will update dynamically (code blocks, callouts, badges, cards, Hs, etc.).
We are aware of some formatting issues with published pages which we have already addressed and will be releasing in the coming days. Stay tuned!
@kevin_touati Thanks for responding. More than happy to have consistent brand formatting, I am just far too pedantic when it comes to document layout. I aim to make terms and conditions a bit easier to go through using formatting, such as just slightly larger headers (or top-level items on a list). Being able to at least set the style, size, weight and colour properties for different level elements would be very helpful, as well as something like background colour (and callouts) which applied to both published sites and exported pdfs.
Something for the roadmap, another thing that I have found helpful for long documents, terms/sops/policies etc is a table of contents on the webpage versions such as seen here: https://absolut.kohorta.co/longread
When you have something like version control, there is likely value in being able to dynamically generate contract documents such as terms with posted variables that can just be linked in an email. With the counterparty then able to export as a PDF or similar (as a durable medium) fulfilling some requirements in the UK and EU.

@dan_sear1 Thanks, Dan. That is fully noted. Do not hesitate to reach out and we will help out with your custom document styling. Currently, the background colour for the app is defined by the theme (whether light or dark), however, you can manage the background colour of the callouts simply by clicking on the icon.
