HelloTwin Launches the Digital Authority: a “Twin” That Owns the Number, Not Just the Task
Snowflake Startup Challenge top-ten finalist debuts a semantic operating system that gives every SME team an accountable AI “Twin”, governed, auditable, and hallucination-free, with no data team required.
MENLO PARK, Calif., June 24, 2026 – Every company is racing to deploy AI agents. Almost none can answer a simple question: when the agents are done, who owns the result? HelloTwin today launched from Snowflake’s SVAI Hub to answer it, introducing the Digital Authority, an accountable AI Twin that holds a business goal, decides on governed truth, and owns the number behind the outcome.
Built on a patent-pending compiler that resolves answers against a live model of the business rather than generating them, the Digital Authority is designed to be deterministic, auditable, and trusted with business-critical decisions.
The category and company address a massive structural problem. Every company is building agents that complete tasks, but no one owns the outcome. Numbers conflict across tools. Essential business terms mean different things in every system. Accountability sits with no one. And people cannot supervise a thousand agents.
HelloTwin resolves this with two layers. First, a Semantic Digital Twin: a live, governed model of the business that resolves every definition, metric, and relationship across a company’s tools into a single source of truth. Second, the Digital Authority, accountable AI running on top of it, assigned to a function and a goal. It holds the mandate, directs the agents, and owns the result. Answers are compiled against the semantic model, not generated: deterministic, auditable, and designed to eliminate hallucinations in business-critical decisions.
“Agents are the hands. A Digital Authority is the head,” said Kay Iversen, Cofounder and CEO of HelloTwin. “It holds the goal, decides on governed truth, and directs humans and agents within clear boundaries to achieve these goals. That is the entity you can actually delegate to, and it is what businesses have been missing.”
Ywes Israel, Principal at bmp Ventures, said: “We are investing in this founding team for the second time with the IBG Funds. Every company is building agents, but ask one for the quarter’s forecast and you can get five different numbers. HelloTwin gives you one governed number, with its sources and reasoning, that still holds up in a board review six months later. That is the infrastructure that makes agents trustworthy, and almost no one else has it.”
Iversen said: “Ninety-nine percent of companies have been locked out of this foundation. Enterprise semantic layers and business ontologies exist, but only where you can fund a data team and an expensive implementation. HelloTwin is built for everyone else. A Digital Authority stands up in minutes, connecting to the tools a business already runs.”
HelloTwin is a member of the Snowflake Startup Accelerator program and one of ten semifinalists selected from more than 1,000 companies in the Snowflake Startup Challenge.
