We are Humeo - The Applied AI Lab for Creative Intelligence
Whole-brained, by design
We're an obsessive team blending design, social sciences and frontier AI research. After all, this century's intelligence renaissance deserves a whole brain approach.
Artificial creative intelligence
1Attunement
How LLMs can better extract and understand human creative intent.
2Taste
The encoding of creative instruction into creative output.
3Universal media transformer
Precise conversion of any one media in one medium to another.
4World models of Attention
Adapting messaging objectives to different audience segments.
5Creative efficiency
Novel methods to bring down the cost to create (and time to create) for both human workflow and generative AI.
What we're building
Our first products do not focus on film making or ad creation, but instead on conveying expertise and news, and building authority in social media. The entertainment industry and creator economy are huge industries. But the traditional business industries have the most to gain from connecting with 5 Billion social media users every day.
VideoClaw
Desktop creative production agent with built-in "taste" you can train. Turn existing media into new media, or automate the creation of new media. Think of it like a content supercomputer you can just talk to.

Work beliefs
We're hiring our founding team of AI researchers, AI-native creators, designer-PMs, and GTM folks. But first, a few beliefs that permeate how we're building the team, the intentional work norms, and how it relates to producing the greatest work.
1Urgency, seriousness & competitiveness
AI is the most competitive place to be in. Because entire societies will be reshaped and new fortunes will be made, it attracts the world's most ferocious intellect and work ethic. At Humeo, we are up against the best AI labs and tech giants, and we want to out-invent them. If you thrive in urgency, seriousness and competitiveness, we enhance this with kind and clear communication, and skill in conflict resolution (collaboration debugging). It will be a long race. This is a window, a chapter of our lives, if you will, to make our largest contribution to humankind. We treat it as such.
2Founding hires are design decisions
Meet hire number 1. The founder and CEO is a two-time 8 digit cash exited founder and prolific tech investor. He chose to self fund $1M of the $4.2M pre-seed. He hand-picked investors from his circle of trust, and for their distinct value add. It includes partners of leading global VCs, prominent founders, creators and leaders in big tech, media and creative industries. The cofounder and CTO is an early RAG pioneer and successful full-stack solo-builder of a Lean AI company, and community builder in AI. And now, we will choose each other. You'll get competitive salary and life-changing equity (that's the goal!). But know that we will choose each other based on culture, collaboration, ability, and intrinsic passion for the work.
3Everyone is a builder
Everyone at Humeo builds. Everyone has coding agents running product iterations. We don't just discuss product, we show what we mean. We run experiments and build agentic systems that do the work very large teams do with only a handful of people. Automation and engineering workflow is the norm. While a solo person billion dollar company just sounds lonely, a hundred person hundred billion dollar company (100X100) sounds inevitable. You're stepping into a team that embraces AI natively and pushes the boundary of how a handful of people can do really big things.
4Population scale impact, economic value, inner richness
We want the work to be used and loved by hundreds of millions of people at minimum. This will reflect in growing revenues, which in turn builds the company's value, and fulfils the life-changing equity goal for our team. Most importantly, we want to do this in a way that enriches the inner lives of people who use our products. Economic pursuit and a life of creativity, community, wisdom and meaning can go hand in hand. We want more of us to not only remember that, but to live that dream.
5The whole-brained approach
The first AI breakthroughs were won by math and science. We believe the next will unite more disciplines. Leonardo Da Vinci was both artist and scientist; Buckminster Fuller drew from nature to design his structures. Super-intelligence won't be reached by a half-brained approach. Humeo is whole-brained from the get go. That's why, for the polymathic misfit, roles here aren't for a part of you, they are for ALL of you. There's never been a better time to balance technology with creativity, philosophy, and more. If our greatest work is to enrich all of us, we'll need all the right ingredients from the start.
In summary, you'll be working long hours in the same room with polymath types who are dead serious about producing great work that will have population scale impact. Be ready for it.
And now, to the open roles…
