HelixScribe
HelixScribe develops AI applications and digital tools around problems where technology can make a meaningful difference.
From creating content informed by real expertise to making everyday processes more efficient, our projects begin with a question: could there be a better way to do this?
We explore that question through research, software development and practical testing, with a focus on building technology that people can understand, use and rely on.
Technology can solve a remarkable range of problems, but the right solution depends on understanding what needs to change.
Some challenges involve information that is difficult to manage or communicate. Others involve repetitive processes, disconnected systems or applications that don’t quite meet their users’ needs.
Sometimes AI offers a useful way forward. Sometimes conventional software is more appropriate.
HelixScribe explores these opportunities and develops applications around the problems we believe can be addressed more effectively.
The result is a growing portfolio of products, each with its own purpose, connected by a consistent approach to development.
Our products address different needs, from working with information and content to supporting practical digital workflows.
AI-assisted content creation, grounded in what you know.
Build a profile of your organisation, add source material and create content informed by your expertise, audience and writing preferences.
Review what influenced the output, make corrections and decide which writing preferences should influence future drafts.
Explore HelixScribe CreateWe’re developing and exploring applications in other areas where purpose-built technology could offer a useful alternative to existing approaches.
Discover our projects, prototypes and the thinking behind them.
View our portfolioWe begin with the outcome a product needs to achieve and consider whether the proposed technology genuinely helps deliver it.
We believe software should be evaluated against its intended purpose. That means defining expected behaviour, testing important functions and identifying limitations.
AI can be useful, but generated information can also be inaccurate, incomplete or inconsistent.
We explore ways to make AI applications more dependable through source-informed generation, testing, appropriate safeguards and meaningful user involvement.
People should be able to understand the role technology plays in their work and retain appropriate control over their information, choices and processes.
Research, prototypes, testing and feedback inform how we improve existing products and decide what to develop next.
Research & development
Building dependable applications involves understanding how technology behaves in practice.
Our research explores topics including AI output reliability, prompt behaviour, source fidelity, consistency and the relationship between automated systems and human judgement.
We use these findings to inform product development and share what we’ve learnt, including limitations and questions that remain unresolved.
Explore our researchHelixScribe was founded by Claire Nicholson, whose background in science, digital marketing and software development shapes the way the company approaches problems.
What began with an interest in improving AI-assisted content creation has developed into a broader ambition: to bring reliable AI and practical digital technology to areas where they can provide meaningful value.
Rather than limiting development to one industry or category of software, HelixScribe provides a home for exploring ideas, testing approaches and building useful applications.
