By Beam
Nearly ten years ago, Beam was founded with a simple goal: to use technology to help people facing homelessness and unemployment move into housing and work.
Since then, Beam has supported more than 7,000 people, including unhoused people, refugees, and prison leavers, into jobs and homes.
Along the way, Beam’s own frontline teams came up against a challenge many IEP members will recognise: too much time spent on paperwork, and not enough time with the people they were there to support.
So they built tools to fix it.
The result was Magic Notes, the AI-powered documentation tool built to save frontline workers time and help them focus on better conversations and better outcomes.
Magic Notes has now rebranded to Beam Notes, joining Beam Interpret, which provides real-time translation, and Beam Talk, which automates inbound calls, under one Beam brand.
Today, around 100,000 frontline workers across five countries, including employment advisers at Reed in Partnership and AKG, use Beam’s tools to reduce admin and improve frontline support.
It’s a brilliant evolution for an organisation whose mission echoes our own: supporting the professionals who help people move into sustainable work.
