About Humble

Built for belonging

We help every kind of mind do its best work, together.

Our mission

Every kind of mind, at its best, together

Minds think, plan and remember in different ways. We help those ways work together. That means between people, and between people and AI.

Why it matters

Most workplaces are made for one kind of brain

  • Working memoryYou hold too much in your head. Things slip, even when you care.
  • Finding it hard to feel how much time has passed, or how long something will take. It is common for neurodivergent people.It is hard to feel how long things take, or when they are due.
  • Unspoken expectationsTeams expect things that no one says out loud. You find out too late.
  • Help needs you to tellTo get a A change at work that removes a barrier for you, such as different hours or a quiet place to work. at work, you usually have to say you are neurodivergent first. Many people never do.

How we help

Tools and culture, built for every mind

  • Built for how your mind works

    Humble takes the weight off your working memory. It shows what is next and when it is due. So it takes less effort to start and finish a task.

  • A translator between people

    Humble shows what is happening, when, who is doing it and what is expected of you. So people and teams who work in different ways can understand each other. This includes working with AI.

  • A culture that includes everyone

    Tools are only part of it. We help organisations build workplaces that are A place where people feel safe to speak up, ask questions and make mistakes, without blame or shame. and made for every mind. Read our neurodiversity at work guides

Our values

  • Nothing to disclose

    An adjustment starts when you tell someone. Building things so they work for as many people as possible from the start. No one has to ask for changes later. starts before that. Humble is for everyone, so no one has to say they are neurodivergent or ask.

  • Safe to be yourself

    Everyone should feel safe to say how they work best and to ask questions. No one should have to hide how their mind works.

  • Your data is yours
