AI Built for the Problems Others Won't Touch
Specialising in addiction and recovery — built for councils, charities, and organisations with a genuine duty of care.
The Scale of the Challenge
The System is Broken. AI Can Help Fix It.
Three critical failures are leaving people without the support they need.
Workforce Crisis
A decade of funding cuts has decimated the specialist addiction workforce. Counsellors, psychiatrists, and nurses are in critically short supply.
Funding Gap
Despite £310m in new government investment, services remain severely underfunded relative to demand. Commissioners need to demonstrate ROI.
Access Barriers
Long waiting lists, geographic gaps, stigma, and language barriers prevent hundreds of thousands from accessing treatment.
I Built This Because I Lived It
Before addiction took over, I ran a successful AR/VR technology business. I had a background in project management and business development — I understood systems, strategy, and scale.
Recovery gave me something unexpected: clarity. I went back to education, trained in counselling, and completed a Level 3 AI in Business qualification — finishing top of the class.
Howie-AI exists because I understand both sides of the crisis — the human cost and the technical solution. Every product I've built is grounded in that lived experience.

Multilingual • Staff TrainingCustom AI Solutions
The methodology doesn't change — only the domain does. We bring the same rigour to any complex, data-rich problem across any sector.
Any Sector • Complex ProblemsThe Closed Loop That Changes Everything
Most addiction services run on fragmented systems — a spreadsheet here, a paper form there, a phone call to check in. Howie-AI closes the loop. Every client signal flows in real time from their phone into the CRM, triggering instant alerts and building the richest SROI evidence base in the sector.
Input
Client Mobile App
The client carries a full support system in their pocket. Every interaction generates structured data — not just conversation logs but real biometric and behavioural signals.
- Mood tracking — daily self-report
- Body vitals — sleep, heart rate, activity
- AI Counsellor sessions — 24/7 access
Processing
AI Counsellor
Every session yields structured clinical insight — not just a transcript, but detected sentiment, trigger patterns, and engagement trajectory — all fed directly into the CRM.
- Session transcripts & sentiment
- Engagement patterns & frequency
- Cravings, triggers & risk signals
Processing
CRM + Intervention Hub
The CRM is the intelligence layer — aggregating every data stream, running the relapse prediction model, and firing real-time alerts the moment a client enters a danger zone.
- Instant intervention alarms to keyworkers
- Unified risk score from all data sources
- Automated NDTMS-compatible reporting
Output
SROI Engine
Because SROI is calculated from real multi-source data — biometrics, session frequency, mood trajectories, employment and housing outcomes — it is defensible evidence, not estimation.
- Automated social value calculation
- Commissioner-ready outcome reports
- Multi-source data — not self-reporting
Real-Time
Instant Intervention Alarms
When a client's mood score drops below threshold, their vitals indicate disrupted sleep for three nights running, or they miss sessions after a period of strong engagement — the CRM doesn't wait for a keyworker to notice. It fires an instant alert. The right person is notified within minutes, not weeks. That speed of intervention is the difference between a supported recovery and a relapse that costs the system tens of thousands of pounds.
Why It Matters
SROI That Commissioners Actually Believe
Most SROI calculations are built on self-reported outcomes and assumed proxies. Ours is built from real data — biometric signals, AI session frequency and sentiment, mood trajectories, employment milestones, housing stability. When you present a commissioner with an SROI ratio, it is not an estimate. It is evidence. According to DTORS (Home Office), every £1 invested in treatment returns £2.50 to society — our data infrastructure proves that return, case by case, in real time.
The entire platform — AI model and data — can be deployed on your own secure servers. No cloud dependency, no external API calls, no third-party data exposure. Truly air-gapped and immune to outside influence. Available for NHS trusts, ICBs, and any organisation where data leaving the network boundary is not an option.
Built on Proven Frameworks
Every solution is grounded in clinical evidence, regulatory standards, and production-grade architecture.
Clinical & GOV Frameworks
Therapy Models
Technology Approach
The technology stack is never fixed — it is selected to match the problem. As a consultant, the role is to identify the most efficient and appropriate architecture for your specific context, constraints, and scale. That might be a frontier foundation model or a fine-tuned open-source one. A managed cloud deployment or fully air-gapped on your own servers. The right answer depends entirely on your need.
If We Can Solve Addiction With AI, What Can We Solve for You?
The skills, architecture, and methodology that power our addiction solutions are fully transferable. We've built clinical-grade RAG systems, predictive analytics, multilingual interfaces, and SROI reporting frameworks. The domain changes. The rigour doesn't.
