Shipped, or not yet.
“Nothing public found” is what our search found: something the public can use or buy, a model or API, research only, or nothing public.
We found no product, model or paper from Humans& that the public can see. That is not proof there is none.
Funding, as reported.
Every round we found, with the amount, valuation and investors as the source states them.

Worth knowing.
Our note: Founding year is inferred from TechCrunch calling it 'three-month-old' in January 2026. Searched for a 2026 product launch; found only funding coverage. Research areas named: long-horizon and multi-agent RL, memory, user understanding.
