HowNow

HowNow is an intelligent learning platform covering onboarding, upskilling and role readiness in one system, aimed at connecting what people learn to the specific skills a role needs.

The platform includes a skills engine that maps what employees already know against the skills required for their role, surfacing gaps rather than relying on a spreadsheet, and delivers learning in the flow of work using AI agents to automate content discovery and logging.

Guru, the platform's AI coach, works through real scenarios with employees, giving feedback and adapting to their level rather than delivering a fixed course. A content library curates material from providers such as Skillsoft and MindTools, mapped to skills and included within a single subscription rather than requiring separate tools.

HowNow holds ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certification and is GDPR compliant. Client feedback published on the company's site includes Hotelplan and Crunchyroll. It is generally adopted as an ongoing platform subscription replacing a mix of separate learning management, content and skills-tracking tools with one integrated system.
