How do you prevent it from teaching the wrong thing if a doc gets edited badly or is outdated?
Honen
@thamibenjelloun It uses knowledgebase documents as the source of truth for the course, so it currently expects those to be updated properly and correctly to base its changes of of. Of course everything is able to be approved / published by a person!

The auto-updating piece is the standout for me — training that rewrites itself when the underlying docs change solves the exact reason internal courses go stale. Congrats on shipping. How do you decide which changes actually warrant a lesson update versus noise?

@oleksii_sekundant We try and make small impactful changes e.g. if a small number changes from 5 to 10, thats still worth a change and the course assistant editor will make it as the information is technically not correct.
The half-stale-by-launch problem is real - I've watched companies spend 6 figures on training that's outdated by Q2. Auto-updating from the actual docs/tools beats curated content by a mile. Curious how you handle role-specific deltas (e.g. ops needs a different slice of the same source). Following.

@david_marko Anything you put in your knowledgebase can be scoped to specific groups or roles inside of your organization and shared with specific people. This allows you to create courses on specific sources in your knowledgebase which are scoped to specific roles or groups. Not sure if this is what you meant but creating the same course but with different content for multiple diff roles based on their available knowledge is actually a great idea!

my friends and I have been talking about a product like this for some time now and its cool to see someone working on this! would you say that it is specifically designed for corporate learning or something that could be extended to desk-less workers as well?
Honen
@hersh_singh Appreciate it! It's designed for all types of learning! We've actually been exploring a lot of work in the trades and non-desk roles specifically (such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical etc.) and building out courses that can help specifically with learners in those fields.
We're trying to make this as general a platform as possible and hit as many fields as possible.
this is very interesting. i have courses on GEO and it's actually hard to update them. creating is easy but so many things change that it's hard to keep up.

@heyitsirenechan Would love to hear your feedback after using Honen! Try creating a course (you can even bring in your existing information) and the updating is very seamless from the educator end. You can just describe the changes you want and roll it out directly to learners.
Happy to also show you on a call how we can get your existing courses imported into honen for you to edit and delivered to learners https://honen.com/contact

Hi Product Hunt,
I'm Phillip, another one of the makers of Honen, and I'm stoked that this day is finally here.
@ryan_trattner already covered what Honen is. I want to talk about the thing that took the longest to get right.
The easy version of this product is a course builder. Drag in docs, generate a course, ship it. That part works and it's genuinely fast. But a course builder is still just a fancier static file. You make it once, it sits there, it goes stale.
The hard version is making the course aware of itself. Knowing when learners are stuck. Knowing when the material no longer reflects how the world actually works. Having a course update itself without having to go back in, identify, and make the changes yourself. That's what we kept pushing toward.
The other thing that took real focus: one knowledgebase that trains your people and your AI agents at the same time. Same source of truth, same context, in sync. We call it parallel training and I think it's the most forward-looking part of what we built.
Honen.com, free to try. First course takes about 30 seconds.
the parallel training idea is what makes this different from every other course builder. training your team and your AI agents from the same knowledge base so everyone stays in sync is something I haven't seen anyone else do. also the auto-update when source docs change is huge... we've had onboarding materials go stale within weeks because nobody remembers to update the training when the product changes

@tina_chhabra Thanks for the feedback! Let us know what you think!
