Hedy has launched Hedy for Teams, an enterprise subscription service that provides administrative controls for data storage and privacy. The platform is designed for organizations ranging from 2 to 200 users, with a tiered subscription model.
Why it matters
The service allows organizations to choose between United States or European Union data storage, addressing enterprise requirements for data residency and localized privacy management.
The service supports 2 to 200 users per organization with pricing set at $99.99 per seat annually. Features include default on-device speech recognition and management capabilities for Cloud Sync policies.
The players
Hedy
A Portland-based artificial intelligence firm that develops tools for private, on-device speech processing and organizational data management.
The details
Hedy for Teams operates through a centralized dashboard that allows administrators to manage billing and seat allocation. Members organize their work by assigning sessions to a Team Topic, ensuring structured collaboration while maintaining privacy protections that prevent administrators from accessing individual meeting sessions. The architecture supports data residency by allowing organizations to select storage regions in either the United States or the European Union.
Timeline
April 2026: Hedy completed SOC 2 Type I and HIPAA assessments.
May 2026: Local AI processing functionality was released.
September 2026: Apple Private Cloud Compute integration was added.
October 13, 2026: Hedy for Teams was officially launched.
The Tech Race
The service positions Hedy within a competitive landscape of enterprise AI tools that prioritize localized, private infrastructure over generic cloud-only models. By securing SOC 2 and HIPAA certifications, the firm is aligning its roadmap with the stringent data governance requirements of large organizations.
Organizations can immediately implement the new team dashboard to manage seat-based access and data residency preferences. Users benefit from default on-device processing, which limits data exposure by keeping speech recognition local to their hardware.
The takeaway
Hedy is moving from individual productivity tools to institutional management by addressing the critical gap of data sovereignty. Admins should evaluate the current seat costs against existing cloud usage policies to determine if a migration to the managed team environment meets internal security requirements.
