A small company building an AI agent that works for you.

🤫 hussh is a public-benefit, open-source project, funded 100% today by one American citizen, as R&D given to America for free.

What we make first is Agent One, a personal AI agent. It only sees what you choose to connect, and it works for you, not for advertisers. It's free for every American.

The short version

Operating company: HushOne, Inc.
Parent company: Hushh Technologies Corporation
Where: 1021 5th St W, Kirkland, WA 98033
Started: August 9, 2021, as hushh.ai
Renamed: hussh, on April 1, 2026

Why it started

In 2021, our founder, Manish Sainani, had his identity stolen. Someone had his Social Security number, his driver's license and enough access to his bank to move money. No bank, credit bureau or app told him until the damage was done.

He had spent twenty years building AI products at Google, Microsoft and Splunk. He knew how much those systems knew about people, and how little they owed them. In his words:

"The asymmetry was not a bug. It was the business model."

So the company set out to build the other kind of agent: one that belongs to the person using it, asks before anyone gets at their information, and can show them afterwards what was shared.

What we've promised

Americans don't pay for Agent One. When we charge, we charge businesses and institutions. Never the person, and so never through their data or their attention.
No selling listings. Nothing in our directory is sold, rented or offered as paid placement, and there are no ads on a person's listing.
Removal on request. Anyone listed can have their listing taken down, with no account needed and no back-and-forth.
Sources shown. Every listing says where its information came from and links back to the official record.

What we haven't done yet

No FedRAMP High or DoD authorization. We're working toward both. No assessment has been completed and nothing has been granted.
The Permission Gateway isn't generally available. It runs in our test environment. Production is in progress.
Tag One isn't out. It's still being designed and can't be ordered.
No customer names or testimonials. We don't publish any, and we don't publish funding, valuation or forecasts either.

So far

What has happened, and what we're working on next. Dates in the future are targets, not promises.
