FOUNDING PARTNERSHIP AVAILABLE
Power the AI workforce behind Howie.
Howie is being built as an AI-native business where specialised AI agents will support defined business functions alongside the human founder. We are looking for a founding AI Compute Partner whose hardware can become the local platform behind that workforce.
Pre-launch / Official AI Compute Partner opportunity / No partner appointed
HOWIE / LOCAL AI PLATFORM
LOCAL COMPUTE → SPECIALIST AI AGENTS → BUSINESS FUNCTIONS → HUMAN OVERSIGHT
01 / A workforce with defined roles
What the AI workforce will do
Specialised agents would support defined areas of Howie’s business. The human founder remains responsible for decisions, judgement and oversight — AI supports the work, not the responsibility.

Why local AI
Local compute gives Howie greater control over how business workloads are operated, with scope to develop persistent, specialised agents. Suitable workloads can be processed locally rather than relying entirely on external AI services. The right balance would be explored as the business develops.
02 / Built into the business
A real operating environment
This would not be a one-off benchmark or hardware review. The compute platform would form part of Howie’s developing business, creating opportunities to document genuine workloads, experiments, lessons and practical uses of agentic AI as the project grows.

Why Howie
A real cat’s adventures give Howie a distinctive public-facing entertainment brand. Behind it is a genuine business use case for local agentic AI. The hardware would support both the operation of the company and a story we can share through development updates and behind-the-scenes content.
