FOUNDING PARTNERSHIP AVAILABLE
Help build the intelligence behind Howie.
Howie is being developed as an AI-native entertainment and education business. AI models, developer tools and agent technologies will support both Howie’s interactive experiences and the specialised AI agents helping operate the wider business. We are looking for a founding AI Development Partner interested in supporting that development journey.

01 / TWO CONNECTED AREAS
What we’re building
AI is being developed for two connected parts of Howie: the entertainment experience viewers will interact with, and the systems that help operate the business behind it.
01 / ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS
A character in the moment
Coordinated AI will help identify relevant moments in genuine footage, generate fictional first-person reactions in Howie’s established character, support viewer interaction and contribute to the wider production workflow.
02 / THE WIDER BUSINESS
Specialised support behind the scenes
The business is also being designed around specialised AI agents that could support research, content development, marketing, commercial work, analytics and operations. Human responsibility and decisions remain with the people running Howie.
02 / A PRACTICAL DEVELOPMENT ROLE
Where an AI Development Partner fits
The partner could support the tools and expertise used to build, test and improve Howie’s AI systems and specialised business agents. The exact mix would be shaped together; these are possible areas of collaboration, not fixed requirements.
— AI models and APIs
— Agent-development technologies
— Developer tooling
— Experimentation and prototyping
— Technical guidance
— Development credits or platform access where appropriate
COMPLEMENTARY ROLES / NO MODEL EXCLUSIVITY
Development and compute, working together
These are distinct, complementary opportunities: one provides the physical platform; the other supports the technologies used to build the AI systems.
AI COMPUTE PARTNER
Physical local computing platform
Provides the physical local computing platform.
AI DEVELOPMENT PARTNER
AI models, APIs and development tools
Supports the models, APIs, tools and technologies used to build and improve the AI systems.
Howie may use different models or services for different needs. This partnership does not require model exclusivity or dependence on one provider.
03 / LEARN AS WE BUILD
A genuine development story
This is intended to be more than product placement. As Howie develops, there will be opportunities to document how AI is actually being applied within a small AI-native business: what works, where human oversight is needed, how different agents are used, and how AI contributes to the entertainment experience and business operations.
Any examples and learnings will be based on work we have actually tested. No specific results are promised before development.
— Recognition as Howie’s Official AI Development Partner
— Appropriate acknowledgement across relevant Howie channels
— Presence within the technology and partnership sections of the Howie website
— Behind-the-scenes development content
— Genuine demonstrations of relevant AI tools and workflows
— Potential case-study material based on actual development work
— Links and credits where appropriate
— Association with the project from its pre-launch development stage
Why Howie
Howie brings together an unusual consumer-facing entertainment concept and a practical AI-native business use case. A development partner could support both the visible AI behind Howie’s interactive experiences and the less visible systems helping operate the company.
Partnership structure
We are open to different forms of collaboration, shaped around what is useful to both sides:
— Platform access
— Development credits
— Technical support
— Product or developer collaboration
— Joint development content
— Another structure agreed with the partner
