Heyday (heyday.xyz) operates as a provider of an AI-powered research assistant and thought partner designed for knowledge workers. The company was co-founded in 2021 by CEO Samiur Rahman and Sam DeBrule, who aimed to create a tool that helps professionals manage the vast amount of online information with less effort. Rahman, a second-time founder with a background in electrical engineering and a career focused on machine learning and natural language processing at companies like Amazon, was motivated by his own ADHD and a passion for automating tasks to allow people to focus on creative and high-impact work.
The company's core product is a browser extension that functions as an "AI thought partner," automatically organizing and resurfacing a user's digital information. It integrates with applications like Google Docs, Dropbox, Slack, and Twitter to pull in files, links, and conversations. One of its key features is enhancing Google search results by displaying relevant content from the user's past research, preventing the need to manually track down previously viewed information. The platform also overlays articles with related content and automatically builds a knowledge base organized by topics the user frequently engages with. For specific professional groups, such as executive coaches, Heyday offers features to generate automatic session notes and detect patterns in client conversations. This focus on specific use cases, like serving executive coaches, management consultants, and investors, came after the founders shut down a previous, less differentiated knowledge management product.
Heyday generates revenue through a subscription-based model, offering monthly and annual plans. The company has successfully secured significant financial backing to support its growth. It raised $6.5 million in a seed funding round in June 2022, led by Spark Capital, with participation from Abstract Ventures and others. This brought its total funding to $8 million across two seed rounds. The firm's client base includes content marketers, startup founders, research analysts, and investors who utilize the tool to streamline research and content creation.
