What HUTE is
An AI research company working to make machines understand people.
HUTE is an artificial intelligence research and technology company. We study human psychology, behavior, communication, relationships and culture, and build the intelligence, networks and economic infrastructure to understand, connect and mobilise humanity. Our mission is making social intelligence and human behavior foundational to artificial intelligence.
HUTE AI Research Lab
Original research on social cognition, theory of mind, human communication, culture and human-AI interaction, with evaluations that report uncertainty honestly.
HUTE Intelligence Infrastructure
Expert-verified, rights-cleared datasets, environments, benchmarks and rubrics that help AI developers teach models to handle people well.
HUMAN
Our consumer product in development: an AI-powered network for finding, meeting and staying connected with the right people.
HUTE and HUMAN
HUTE is the company. HUMAN is its first consumer product.
The relationship is the same as between a research company and the product it ships. HUTE does the research and builds the infrastructure. HUMAN applies it to help real people connect with one another. HUMAN is in development, and we label what is a vision, what is research and what is live. Read about HUMAN.
Research publications
Evidence reviews, with every source checked.
Our research reports are literature reviews and proposed frameworks. They say plainly what is established, what is interpretation, and what has not been tested. Every reference is verified against Crossref or arXiv.
