Our take
HowNow is an integrated learning platform that autonomously curates learning resources, business intelligence and market insights that live in dozens of different internal and external sources, and makes it available everywhere employees work.
The AI-powered learning platform is used by SMEs and large corporates to onboard, up-skill and enable employees. Using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, HowNow is able to personalise learning for employees based on their role, experience, learning preferences, skill requirements and business goals.
The platform helps businesses create a continuous learning culture by embedding learning into existing workflows, rather than delivering new ones. Having raise considerable funding, HowNow looks to continue driving product development and AI integration.
