About Hitogai

Building intelligence for the people who work.

Hitogai connects your data and deploys AI agents that work alongside your team. Built around your systems, your procedures and the people who run them.

Most AI tools ask a business to change how it works. We start the other way around: we learn the systems, the procedures and the people first, then build agents that fit into the work that is already happening. The result is automation a team can trust, because it was made for them.

Wyatt Stanczyk

Co-founder

LinkedIn
  • Automation & robotics
  • Clinical research
  • Negotiation

Wyatt has been automating real workflows since before college. As a robotics engineer at nference, he spent almost two years assembling and programming the robotic and computer systems that automate the analysis of patient samples, turning slow manual lab work into a repeatable pipeline.

He followed that with research at Mayo Clinic, visualizing how ADPKD develops across animal and human samples. Today he studies Neuroscience and Pharmacology at the University of Minnesota, where he is the sole elected Senator for the entire undergraduate College of Biological Sciences, negotiating directly with senior university leadership.

At Hitogai he brings both halves together: the engineering to automate complex work, and the negotiating to put it in front of the people who decide.

  • Data science
  • Python & SQL
  • Economics

Joey studies Data Science and Economics at the University of Minnesota’s College of Science and Engineering, and works in Python, SQL and MATLAB, the same toolkit behind the data pipelines Hitogai’s agents run on.

Pairing data science with economics, he keeps Hitogai focused on the question that matters to every customer: where automation pays off for the business, and how to prove it in the numbers.

Chris Dahl

Co-founder

GitHub
  • C++
  • UI frameworks
  • Open source

Chris is a builder first. He has been writing and shipping open-source software since 2021, and his C++ interface work, including a custom UI framework built on Dear ImGui, has earned more than 200 stars and 20 forks on GitHub from developers building on top of it.

A student at the University of Minnesota, he codes across Hitogai’s stack and runs its deployments, bringing the same craft to the product: fast, polished software people actually want to use.
