Ciao! vs HiWork
HiWork, by HiWork LLC (now Lattney)
A personal CRM in the browser that used AI to sum up each contact and suggest what to talk about, now renamed Lattney and aimed at small businesses.
hiwork.io now sends you to Lattney, a CRM and workflow tool for small businesses (October 2026). It was a web app.

H What HiWork did well
- •It used AI to write a summary of each contact and tips for your next conversation.
- •It still runs, as Lattney, in any browser, and you can ask Claude or ChatGPT about your contacts through MCP.
- •Daily and weekly emails list the tasks that are due and the birthdays coming up, and you can switch each email on or off.
Where Ciao! wins
- •Ciao! is still only about friends. Lattney now sells workflows, a client portal and team plans to small businesses.
- •$9.99 once. Lattney starts at $12 a user every month.
- •No account. Your notes stay on your phone and in your own iCloud, and nothing is written for you by AI.
Which one should you actually get?
HiWork’s personal CRM lives on as Lattney, a CRM for small teams that still lets you keep friends and family in it. If you want clients and friends in one place, with AI and email reminders, Lattney is the honest pick. If you only want to stay close to your friends, Ciao! costs less, needs no account, and gives you one deck on Sunday instead of a task list.
