We’re here to fix a system that’s rigged against ordinary households. For too long, big providers have exploited inertia, punished loyalty, and profited from complexity. So if you're excited by a career involving agentic AI, startup velocity and first-principles problem-solving, read on 👀
FYI: Nous rhymes with house and means practical intelligence and common sense. We know it trips people up (”Are you French?”) but we’re ok with that.

Nous — the intelligent agent
Nous is an intelligent agent that frees households from the drudgery of managing bills, helping make life simpler, fairer, and less expensive.
We think it’s wrong that people get penalised just because they don’t have the capacity or inclination to check they’re getting a fair deal for basic utilities. Yet the reality is that millions of households are still overpaying for things like energy, broadband and mobiles. And it’s not just by a few pounds here or there — for many, it can be thousands of pounds per year, which hits all the harder in the context of an ongoing cost-of-living crisis.

Nous — the business
Nous is also a business. We're creating something pretty audacious and it's growing fast. We're opinionated about the kind of business we want it to be – one on the side of consumers. And we’re convinced there is a very big business to build here – we can show you the data if you like. What’s more, we've got the experience, battle-scars and investors to back up our ambition. So now we just need to find the right people looking to turbo-charge their trajectory as part of our growing team
We’re here to make life simpler and fairer by preventing ordinary households from being ripped off.
Right now, 90% of UK households are overpaying on their bills. Not by a few quid but by hundreds or even thousands of pounds a year. Why? Because the system is rigged against them.
Fat-cat providers rely on consumer inertia to boost their profits. These modern-day corporate highwaymen use every trick in the book — eye-catching introductory offers, complex terms, egregious mid-contract price hikes — to lure people in then quietly fleece them while they’re not looking. The message is clear: pay attention (constantly), or pay the price.
We think that’s outrageous. So we’re building something better.
Nous is an intelligent agent that uses AI to do what humans can’t (and shouldn’t have to): track the market, read the small print, stay on top of renewal dates and price hikes — and intervene on your behalf.
The kind of firepower that big businesses have had for years? We’re putting it in the hands of everyday households. It’s a fight worth having and we’ve picked a side. So if our tone sounds a little crusading, that’s because we are. As a certified B Corp, we believe doing good and building a valuable business go hand in hand, and if you’ve ever heard our CEO talk about this stuff, you’ll know he doesn’t pull his punches.
