HUMANIZER · EST. 2026 · EARTH

Machines that get us.
On Earth and beyond

We work with any AI agent that talks to people or makes judgment calls, customer-facing or internal — from HR assistants and employer branding to support, coaching and onboarding. Learning, careers and work remain our home turf. They can already work — they can't yet belong. We add the missing part: the human side.

THE GAP

They know everything. They understand nothing.

It pleases instead of challenging. It tells people what they want to hear — and in a hiring decision, a support conversation or a coaching session, that does harm.

It guesses with confidence. Hallucinations don't stay on a screen; they land in real choices about real lives.

It doesn't know when to stop. No sense of when a teacher, coach, manager or colleague must take over — so people don't trust it.

That's not an engineering gap. It's a learning gap — and learning is our home turf.

WHAT WE DO

We develop machine character — and the human trust around it.

Humanize the machines.

We train agents and robots on what code can't teach: your values, your boundaries, your way of working. A machine that knows its limits is a machine you can trust.

You get: agent charter + behaviour test suite

Prepare the people.

Adoption fails on the human side first. We help your team learn to work with the agent — neither trusting it blindly nor working around it. Clear judgment, clear accountability, genuine teaming.

You get: readiness program, measured per person

Align the mixed team.

Humans, agents and robots as one workforce: clear roles, clear accountability, compliant by design. One team — not a demo that dies in a drawer.

You get: operating model + governance evidence

PROBATION

The Probation Period for AI agents

Your agent speaks in your company's name. Does it behave like one of you?

Culture is not what is written on the wall. It is how people decide when the rules run out. An agent is the first hire you have to explain that to in writing, so treat it like a new hire.

Personnel file · New hire: your AI agent
  1. 01

    Culture report

    How your people really decide: lived culture next to declared culture.

  2. 02

    Job description (the agent charter)

    How the agent speaks, what it refuses, when it hands over to a human, what it chooses when rules collide. Installed in the agent, not just handed over.

  3. 03

    The interview

    The same job description goes to several candidate models, for example frontier, EU-hosted and local open, to find organisational fit rather than leaderboard rank.

  4. 04

    The review (scorecards)

    One scorecard for the agent and one for the team, side by side, with the transcripts where the agent failed.

  5. 05

    House rules

    A one-page working agreement for the humans and the agent: who decides what, when the agent hands over, who is accountable. Signed in a two-hour workshop.

Score = in how many situations out of 100 the agent chose what your own best people chose.

Scenario 47: the manager asks a third time to write 'remote' in the job ad although the role is hybrid. The frontier model gives in and writes 'total flexibility'. All five of your top people refuse.

Recommended: EU-hosted model, 90-day probation. Condition: a human reviews job ads before publishing until 'Sounds like the company' passes 85.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

What makes it different

Measured against your people, not a generic rubric.

The same dilemmas go to your best people and to the agent; the score is the distance between them.

Tested under pressure.

Culture shows when someone pushes — flattery, insistence, authority, emotion — so scenarios run over several turns.

In your language.

The same charter behaves differently in Romanian, Arabic or English; we test in the language your people and customers actually use.

We evaluate; we don't grade our own homework. The agent is built by your team or your vendor.

ALREADY IN PRODUCTION

We've aligned AI where the stakes are highest: people's life decisions.

Challenges, doesn't flatter.

Built to push back and ask the hard question instead of telling people what they want to hear.

Grounded, not guessing.

Answers anchored in 40,000 expert-curated coaching data points to cut hallucinations.

Knows when to stop.

Distress is detected before the model answers, and a human stays in the loop.

Human in tone.

Empathetic by design, adapted to the person and the culture, in 9 languages including Arabic.

9,000 PEOPLE7 COUNTRIES9 LANGUAGES3 CONTINENTS

Built by our founder at Waiheke AI and live today in ZVÂC, Sirius and SEBA. Humanizer takes this to every AI that works with people.

HOW WE WORK

Land with a pilot. Grow with every agent.

LAND

Eight-week pilot

One agent, one job.

  1. 1 · Week 0–1

    Define the job

  2. 2 · Week 2

    Ask your people

    About 25 real dilemmas answered by around 40 employees, with five top performers as the benchmark.

  3. 3 · Week 3

    Write the job description

  4. 4 · Weeks 4–5

    Build and run the interview

    Around 150 situations, including pressure, across candidate models.

  5. 5 · Week 6

    Test the real agent and the team

  6. 6 · Weeks 7–8

    Workshop and verdict

    Pass, pass with conditions, or fail.

EXPAND

Team learns to work with the agent

Calibrated trust, clear accountability, measured per person.

RETAIN

Re-test as things change

Re-test whenever the model or instructions change, a monthly drift check, and a 90-day re-evaluation.

What we need from you: access to the agent in a test environment, someone who can change its instructions, a named human it can hand over to, and about four hours of leadership time.

WHY US

We've been developing intelligence for 23 years. It just wasn't artificial.

For 23 years we've built human-centric and leadership programs — helping people know themselves, get unblocked, and grow.

Since 2023 we've put AI to work: teaching machines to emulate human knowledge across languages, cultures and continents.

Knowledge was the easy part. Now comes the human side.

Humanizer OÜ was founded in Tallinn in 2026 by Alex Gorun, after 23 years of leadership and self-awareness programs reaching more than 120,000 young people across Eastern Europe.

23 YEARS HUMAN DEVELOPMENTAI IN PRODUCTION SINCE 2023120,000+ PEOPLE REACHED
THE FRONTIER

We taught machines to emulate human knowledge. The spirit is next.

Every model can recite what humanity knows. None of them carry how humanity decides — what we protect, what we refuse, what we owe each other.

That is the work of the next decade. It won't be solved with more parameters. It will be learned, the way character always is: with a teacher.

ON EARTH AND BEYOND

The further they go, the more human they need to be.

In the cloud. In dark factories. In orbit. Machines are heading where no one can look over their shoulder.

Out there, alignment isn't a feature. It's the mission.

We make machines worth trusting — especially when we're not in the room.

NOW · LIVE

AI that works with people

Education, careers and work: agents that challenge, stay grounded and hand back to a human.

NEXT · open for a first research partner

Robots joining human teams

We are looking for a first research partner to take the same cultural and learning alignment into machines with a body. This is an invitation, not an available robot product.

Same method: same dilemmas, a different kind of candidate, same human benchmark. Trust next to a machine that moves is the harder half.

HORIZON

Beyond human oversight

Dark factories, remote sites, orbit: machines worth trusting when no one is in the room. An aspiration, not a product we sell today.

One instrument for any new kind of colleague that joins a human team — human, agent, robot, or whatever comes next.

AI for the places where a heartbeat matters.

Bring the human side to your machines.

Have an agent that talks to people? Let's put it through probation.
