Since Hone’s founding, we’ve set out to provide executive-quality learning and coaching to the modern workforce. We’ve delivered on this promise by upskilling over 50,000 people through our live, online learning experiences, led by the most qualified coach facilitators across the globe.
With the rise of generative AI, we saw new opportunities to pioneer the AI Coach category, expand our impact, and help even more individuals dramatically improve their work performance. That opportunity is realized with Hone AI.
Today, we announce the general availability of Hone AI Coach, the newest, most flexible component of our Hone AI suite. It delivers on-demand, performance coaching at scale, driving daily improvements that lead to transformative results.
What Is Hone AI Coach?
Hone AI Coach is an always-on companion that helps employees navigate workplace challenges, lead with confidence, and perform on a whole new level. At its core, Coach (and all Hone AI products) is designed with three layers of insight to provide an unmatched level of personalization and expertise in developing high-performing leaders:
- Individual context: Hone AI knows your role, your experience level, your personality type (e.g., DISC or MBTI), and any other information you choose to share.
- Organizational context: Company values, goals, and culture all inform how Hone AI interacts with employees and guides them on their professional journeys.
- Hone curriculum and content: Trained on research-backed content refined by leading experts on the foundation of tens of thousands of delivered classes.
With this deep context, Coach flexes to meet the needs of every employee, regardless of seniority, and helps each individual reach their potential and achieve results. Unlike sporadic training days or weekly coaching sessions, Hone AI helps employees maneuver through critical everyday moments in real time and transform them into opportunities for growth. It can copilot any work situation, like delivering performance reviews, resolving conflict, giving tough feedback, or working through a challenge.
How Does Hone AI Coach Work?
Hone AI Coach is designed to be leveraged in the flow of work. Users can tap into it via voice or chat, and engage in natural conversations, as it adapts to their preferences. Coach is available any time, in the Hone platform and with Slack and Teams integrations coming soon. It powers performance through:
- Deep coaching. Like any great coach, and especially for bigger or more nuanced challenges, it guides employees through a reflective, coaching-style conversation that helps them uncover their own answers.
- Quick solutions. When employees need fast answers, Coach delivers practical tips, research-backed content, and helpful talking points they can use right away.
- Continuous growth. Recommends related Hone learning experiences across AI Lessons, AI Practice, and live, expert-led classes, so employees can keep building and applying skills over time.
- Ongoing progress. Saves every interaction, so employees can revisit and resume conversations anytime to reflect, deepen insights, and track progress.
What Sets It Apart from Other AI Coaches?
Hone blends always-on, AI-powered learning experiences with human wisdom and live expert-led training, creating a continuous learning ecosystem unlike anything else on the market. Instead of a standalone AI coach, Hone AI Coach is part of Hone Membership, alongside:
- AI Lessons: Bite-sized, interactive AI-led training that helps employees learn and reinforce skills on-demand.
- AI Practice: Unlimited time to role play real-world scenarios in a safe, judgment-free space with personalized feedback.
- Live, Expert-Led Classes: Human connection and deeper skill-building with peers and a subject matter expert facilitator.
Together, these create a continuous development journey that equips employees to perform at their best today while building the leadership skills they’ll need for tomorrow across multiple touch points over time.
