Inspiration
Over time, people accumulate thousands of documents, notes, plans, and unfinished ideas. Eventually, they may forget not only where their files are, but also what they worked on and what remained unresolved.
HILO was conceived to address this problem: recovering forgotten work from personal digital archives.
What it does
HILO is an AI-powered project memory assistant designed for UGREEN NAS.
It helps users discover past projects, connect scattered documents, reconstruct timelines, identify documented decisions, and highlight potentially unfinished work.
Instead of requiring users to remember what to search for, HILO helps them rediscover what they have forgotten.
Every finding should be linked to supporting files, with uncertain conclusions clearly identified.
How it works
The user selects an authorized folder on the NAS. HILO uses document retrieval and analysis capabilities to identify related material, organize evidence, and generate a structured project recovery report.
The proposed workflow is read-only: it does not modify, move, or delete source files.
How we built it
We designed HILO as a UGREEN-compatible AI Skill using the official development kit and its SKILL.md specification.
The initial package passed the kit's static validation. We also designed synthetic test scenarios representing completed, pending, and uncertain projects.
Real execution on a UGREEN NAS remains to be tested.
Challenges
The main challenge is distinguishing genuinely unfinished projects from projects whose completion is simply not documented.
HILO addresses this by requiring evidence, distinguishing facts from inferences, and explicitly reporting uncertainty.
Accomplishments
We completed the initial Skill definition, validated its structure, and developed a focused concept for evidence-based project recovery.
What's next
The next stage is to test HILO on a real UGREEN NAS, evaluate its accuracy against representative document collections, improve retrieval and classification, and refine its user experience.
