Two focused apps. One agentic canvas, one conversational hub. Both designed to keep up with a mind that never stops. Launching July 2026.
Orchestrate multi-step workflows with a team of AI agents working in parallel on your behalf.
Organize your AI conversations by topic — persistent context, no more starting from scratch.
Whether you need a full agent workflow or a focused conversation, there's a Helyx for that.
A visual workspace where you build, run, and monitor multi-agent AI workflows. Delegate complex, multi-step tasks to a coordinated team of specialized agents — all within a single canvas you control.
Stop losing your best AI conversations. Helyx Chat organizes every exchange by topic — maintaining persistent context so you can pick up exactly where you left off, every time.
Both apps are designed to get out of your way and let the AI do the work.
Start with a conversation. Ask questions, explore ideas, and gather context — all under a persistent topic thread that remembers everything.
Promote any task to the canvas. Assign it to specialized agents, set dependencies, and let the system execute in parallel while you stay in control.
Monitor live progress, review agent outputs, and iterate on results. Export deliverables or feed them back into a new Chat topic for further development.
Protean Design is a solo studio based in Canton, GA. The mission is straightforward: build AI tools that match the way information workers actually operate — across multiple demanding roles, constant context-switching, and an overwhelming volume of inputs.
Helyx™ and Helyx Chat™ are built for people who think in systems. If you've ever lost a great AI conversation, wished your AI could just handle the whole thing, or felt like current tools weren't keeping up with you — these apps are for you.
Two focused apps that do their jobs exceptionally well, not a feature-bloated platform.
You shouldn't have to re-explain yourself to an AI. Every session builds on the last.
If a task can be broken down and delegated, it should be. Helyx is built on that premise.
All beta features are tested with real workflows before they ship. No vaporware.
