About Heme

AI should make people more capable. Not replaceable.

We believe people should spend less time on repetitive tasks and coordinating tools, and more time solving problems, creating things, and making decisions. That's why we're building Heme: to help companies put AI to work, while keeping people in control.

People first

Technology should expand human potential, not diminish it.

AI that acts

AI should help with repetitive work, not just provide answers.

Humans in control

People set the direction. AI helps execute within their boundaries.

While helping companies implement AI, we kept encountering the same problem: AI models were getting smarter, but they still didn't understand how the businesses using them actually worked.

We often had to stitch together company knowledge, workflows, and multiple AI tools just to deliver useful solutions. Companies adopted AI to simplify their operations, but often ended up adding more complexity.

That frustration became the starting point for Heme.

The future we're building

A world where people lead. And AI gets work done.

For decades, software has told people how to work. We've learned to navigate countless tools, chase information across systems, and coordinate the work that software cannot do on its own.

We believe AI gives us a chance to reverse that relationship.

Imagine a company where employees can delegate repetitive work to AI agents that understand their business. Where expertise can be shared across the organization without constantly interrupting the people who hold it. Where anyone with an idea can turn it into working software, without needing to become an engineer.

A company where people spend less time coordinating work and more time deciding what to accomplish next.

That's our vision of a self-driving company. Not a company without people, but one where people set the direction, exercise judgment, and remain in control while AI increasingly handles the execution.

We're building Heme to make that future accessible to growing businesses, giving people the freedom to accomplish more than ever before.

For decades, software has told people how to work. We click through systems, move information between tools, chase colleagues for context, and fill the gaps the software cannot understand.

AI gives us a chance to reverse that relationship.

We started Heme because we believe software should learn how people and companies actually work, not the other way around. When technology understands the knowledge, judgment and ways of working inside a business, it can carry more of the repetition and coordination that consumes people’s time.

That leaves more room for the things people are uniquely good at: judgment, creativity, relationships, leadership and ambition.

We're building Heme so people can spend less time working around software, and more time doing the work only people can do.

What makes Heme different

We believe the next generation of companies will work differently.

AI should adapt to the company. Not the other way around.

ChatGPT and Claude are powerful general-purpose assistants. We believe business AI should be built around the company's own knowledge, people, and ways of working.

Your company's intelligence should be yours.

AI models will keep changing. Your company's knowledge, workflows, and decisions shouldn't depend on any single provider. Heme is designed to remain independent of OpenAI, Anthropic, or whichever model comes next.

Everyone should be able to put AI to work.

AI shouldn't be reserved for engineers or technical teams. Every employee should be able to delegate meaningful work and turn their expertise and ideas into working solutions.

Software should be built around how your business works.

Lovable and Replit make it easier to create software. We believe the next step is software built from the company's shared knowledge, processes, and permissions, not just an individual prompt.

Powerful AI shouldn't require enterprise complexity.

Palantir, Glean, and Wonderful show what's possible with enterprise AI. We believe growing service companies deserve a simpler path to that same kind of transformation.
