For government and the public sector

Digital and AI systems for public-sector work

Public bodies run on documents and on enquiries — applications to verify, records to check, citizens who need an answer without another trip to the office. Both are work a system can carry, and we can show you one working before any commitment is made.

And this is what we build for you

Beyond the ready-made services in our Store, this is work we scope, build and deliver against your own process. Nothing here is off the shelf, and nothing here is a product we are claiming to already have — it is what we build, to order.

For a public body this is scoped against one service in one department, with the officer kept in the decision at every step.

Digital platforms

  • Digital service platformsApplications, registrations, tracking, payments and notifications.
  • Citizen and customer assistantsGuided answers on your own services, at any hour.
  • Custom portalsFor customers, citizens, staff, vendors, partners or applicants.
For governmentsAn application portal where a citizen applies once, uploads once, and can see where the application has reached.

AI systems

  • AI staffAn assistant trained on your own knowledge, not on generic web text.
  • Document AIYour document types, your checks, your thresholds — computed in code.
  • Custom AI systemsWhere the problem is genuinely yours and nothing off the shelf fits.
For governmentsA departmental assistant on a service’s own requirements, so officers and citizens get the same answer.

Automation

  • Workflow automationThe handoffs between people and systems that currently run on email.
  • Dashboards and reportingOperational and management reporting without the manual assembly.
  • Digital transformationMoving a manual, paper-bound process into a tracked digital one.
For governmentsSubmission, checks, officer review, decision, notification and reporting — as one tracked workflow with a record at every step.
Not a slide deck

Two systems you can use before you speak to anyone

Most technology suppliers ask you to imagine what they could build. These are running on this website right now. Open them, use them on your own material, and judge the engineering before you judge the pitch.

AI Staff

An AI staff member that knows HBMB — what we build, what it costs, what we will and will not take on. Ask it anything you would ask a person on our team. It is the same system we build for organisations on their own knowledge.

AI Document Intelligence

Upload a bank statement, invoice, receipt, contract, delivery note or application form and get a structured reading of it — every figure calculated in code, never guessed by a model, with the checks that failed named plainly.

Try it on your own document →

Both are built the same way, and it matters more than it sounds: your document is read inside your own browser and is never uploaded to us. Only the extracted text is sent, and only so the written summary can be produced. We never receive the file, so there is nothing of yours for us to store, leak or be asked to hand over.

You can verify that rather than take our word for it. Open the document tool, press F12 for your browser’s developer tools, choose the Network tab, then analyse a document. You will see the text of your document go out for the summary — and you will not see your file go anywhere at all.

Starting points

Where public-sector work usually begins

Applications are verified by reading bank statements by hand

For loan schemes, enterprise funds, grants and cooperative disbursements: every figure computed in code, plus tamper checks that catch an edited statement — the running balance of an altered statement stops reconciling, and that is arithmetic, not opinion. The system supports the officer’s decision; it does not make it.

The same questions arrive all day, every day

An AI assistant that answers citizen questions about a service — what is required, what it costs, what happens next — in plain language, at any hour, without adding headcount.

A paper process moves department to department

The same steps as a tracked digital workflow: submission, checks, officer review, decision, notification, and a record of where anything is at any moment.

Where the citizen’s data goes: nowhere

Every document tool we build reads the file inside the browser on the officer’s own machine. The document is not uploaded to us, not stored by us, and not held by a third party. There is no retention schedule to negotiate and no breach of ours to plan for, because we never receive the file in the first place. For a body handling citizen financial records under the Nigeria Data Protection Act, that removes an entire category of question before it is asked — and it is verifiable in your own browser, in the meeting, in under a minute.

Start with one service, in one department

We would rather deliver a single process properly than promise a programme. Tell us which service is under the most pressure and we will scope that.
