Civic learning that behaves like television, measured like CPD.

DevBot builds software for the public sector. Our flagship platform, ambivalence, turns the week's civic news and a research-informed competency framework into cinematic, compact episodes learners actually finish — with verifiable credentials they keep for the rest of their career.

Competency Grid
Nine civic domains, four developmental tiers.

Thirty-six cells (nine domains × four Dreyfus tiers) let a council see, not guess, where its people are developing — and where the gaps are.

OB3
Portable Credentials
Badges learners keep — not platform trinkets.

Every award is an Open Badges 3.0 credential — signed, verifiable against a public URL, and LinkedIn-shareable. It doesn't expire when a licence does.

Weeks
Not Quarters
AI-assisted authoring pipeline.

ScriptHub authors, SoundBox produces, ambivalence delivers. New episodes and localisations turn around in weeks — so your content catches the news, not chases it.

How we make episodes

A studio workflow, not a content agency

DevBot owns the whole pipeline. Three tools — all built in-house — turn a research brief into a shipped episode with narration, soundtrack, subtitles, interactions, and credentials. It's why we can price like software, not consultancy.

ScriptHub — authoring

Our in-house authoring environment. Episode structure, scene blocking, interaction logic, rubric mapping, and branching narrative — all in one tool, with the competency framework baked in.

SoundBox — production

A virtual production desk for narration, sound design, video generation, subtitles, and multilingual exports. Scripts come in; publishable episodes come out.

ambivalence — delivery

The consumer-facing platform. Learners watch, respond, reflect, and collect credentials; L&D teams watch the competency map fill in real time.
