What We Are

Section titled “What We Are”

HUB is a creative agency built on a simple belief: AI should amplify human creativity, not replace it.

We’re not a consultancy selling AI transformation. We’re not a dev shop building chatbots. We’re creatives and technologists who use AI as a medium—like paint, code, or clay—to build things that matter.

Explore our services: hub.curations.org

Why We Exist

Section titled “Why We Exist”

The Problem We See

Section titled “The Problem We See”

AI is being sold as:

  • A replacement for human work
  • A way to cut costs
  • A tool for extraction and manipulation
  • Something to fear or hype

We reject all of this.

What We Believe Instead

Section titled “What We Believe Instead”

AI is a creative medium.

Just like photography didn’t replace painting—it gave us a new way to see. Just like synthesizers didn’t replace musicians—they gave us new sounds.

AI doesn’t replace human creativity. It gives us new ways to create.

When used ethically, transparently, and with intention, AI can:

  • Amplify underrepresented voices
  • Make complex work accessible
  • Free humans from repetitive tasks to focus on meaning
  • Create things neither human nor AI could build alone

This is what HUB is for.

How We Work

Section titled “How We Work”

Our Process

Section titled “Our Process”

  1. Listen First We don’t start with AI. We start with: What are you actually trying to create? Why does it matter?

  2. Design With Purpose Every system, every framework, every line of code asks: Does this serve the greater good?

  3. Build Transparently We document as we go. Our frameworks, prompts, and systems are open-source.

  4. Collaborate as Partners We work WITH you, not FOR you. Your vision + our capability = something neither could build alone.

  5. Share What We Learn Everything we discover goes back into the commons. Knowledge should be accessible.

Our Principles

Section titled “Our Principles”

✅ Ethical AI

  • No manipulation
  • No extraction
  • No black boxes
  • Full transparency

✅ Human-Centered

  • AI supports people, not replaces them
  • Emotional safety matters
  • Community over profit

✅ Greater Good Creativity

  • Every project asks: Does this make the world better?
  • If the answer is no, we don’t build it

✅ Open Learning

  • We document everything
  • We teach as we build
  • Knowledge is a public good

✅ Non-Political, Community-Focused

  • Good vibes only
  • We serve communities, not agendas
  • Focused on uplifting people

The Curators: Our AI Personas

Section titled “The Curators: Our AI Personas”

HUB is powered by a network of specialized AI personas we call “Curators.”

Each Curator has:

  • A specific domain of expertise
  • A unique personality and approach
  • Collaborative capabilities
  • Ethical guidelines

Think of them as creative partners, not tools.

Some focus on design. Some on research. Some on strategy. Together, they form a collaborative intelligence that works WITH humans to create.
