Partner Programme The AI Assembly®

Partner with
The AI Assembly®

We are the Responsible AI Certification Specialists. Responsible AI isn't an abstract conversation — we're making it mainstream, so every person has the foundation to do AI the right way. If your organisation is moving AI forward responsibly, let's build it together.

The moment we are in

AI adoption is accelerating. Education is not keeping pace.

A partnership starts where the impact starts — with people who understand AI.

Most organisations think a partnership starts with logo placement. It doesn't. A partnership with The AI Assembly® is a shared commitment to moving AI capability forward responsibly — in your sector, your community, or your network.

We're selective about who we partner with. Not because we're exclusive, but because our community trusts us to align with organisations that share our standards. The 8 pillars of AI The Right Way® guide who we work alongside. If your organisation is doing AI work that matters, in a way that holds up under scrutiny — let's talk.

Why partner with us

When people truly understand AI, something shifts.

They stop being a passive user and become an informed thinker. In their work. In their study. In their community. They engage with confidence. They make better decisions. They ask better questions. That's the result our community trusts us for — and the result a partner gains by association.

Partnering with The AI Assembly® puts your organisation alongside the responsible AI movement in Aotearoa New Zealand and globally — not as a logo, but as a contributor to outcomes that matter.

"You cannot sustain productivity gains without trust, and you cannot build trust without education. They have to move together." — Karrina Mountfort, Founder, The AI Assembly®

How we partner

Four models. One mission.

Partners may operate under one or more of these models depending on their network, capability, and goals. The detail — formats, scope, and commercial structure — is shaped together in conversation.

Referral Partner

Right for you if: you have a strong network but don't want to run events.

Introduce an organisation new to The AI Assembly® and we do the rest — education, certification, and services. If the introduction results in enrolments or services, you earn a referral on the resulting revenue.

  • Unique referral code and link
  • Access to partner resources and co-branded collateral
  • Recognised as a The AI Assembly® Referral Partner

Referral structure confirmed at partner discussion.

Hosted Event Partner

Right for you if: you run events and want to bring responsible AI to your audience.

You organise and host — we design and facilitate. A responsible AI event built around your audience, your context, and your brand. Every participant leaves with access to the certification pathway.

  • Co-branded event design and facilitation
  • Drawn from The AI Assembly® ecosystem of content
  • Promotion through our community and channels

Formats and commercial terms shaped together.

Facilitator Partner

Right for you if: you already deliver AI workshops and want responsible AI woven in.

We join your programme as the responsible AI specialist — a pillar topic (ethics, privacy, sustainability), an industry-specific lens, or a platform deep-dive (AI assistants, agentic workflows). You keep ownership of the client relationship and the brand.

  • Half-day session or full-day deep-dive
  • Drawn from the AI The Right Way® framework
  • Tailored to your audience and context

Topic, format and engagement scoped at partner discussion.

Delivery Partner

Right for you if: you want to embed responsible AI education into your own service offering.

The AI Assembly® certification programme and the AI The Right Way® methodology become a named, credentialled part of what you offer your clients — delivered by us, or by your facilitators under licence.

  • Two paths — we deliver, or you deliver under licence
  • Clients certify through The AI Assembly® platform
  • Co-branded programme materials

Path and commercial model confirmed at partner discussion.

Partners often operate under more than one model. We work out the right fit together.

What partnerships unlock

Practical sessions that bring responsible AI to life.

Every partnership is co-designed. Here's the menu we work from.

Event or in-house

Leading While Learning

Whether you're leading the business, the transformation, the tech team, or a department — this is how you do it the right way. Align your people, decisions, and direction as AI changes everything.

Half day · Full day · Ongoing series

Event or in-house

Activating Your AI Culture

Setting a policy or rolling out a tool and expecting people to fall in line isn't activation. We help you plan what AI actually looks like for your organisation, and build a clear, practical path to making it work.

Half day · Full day · Ongoing series

Event or in-house

Meet in the Middle

Bring people together across the business — to activate, engage, and align. Tools get used, teams get connected, and key stakeholders are in the room to guide the way. AI done right means everyone meets in the middle.

Half day · Full day · Ongoing series

Event or in-house

Responsible AI Endorsement™

Keep educating your people — in your industry, on a topic, across the tools, and in the context that matters. Each session earns a formal endorsement. Stackable. Ongoing. Because doing AI the right way is never a one-off.
