Create employee training that keeps up with your company. Honen turns team knowledge into interactive AI-led courses in seconds, complete with adaptive lessons, simulations, and learner insights. When your docs, tools, or processes change, courses update automatically.
The live client meeting simulation is a standout feature 🙌
what criteria is the AI actually grading on? Is it customizable per company or is it a fixed rubric?
Honen
@boyuan_deng1 The grading isn't a fixed, one-size-fits-all rubric. The whole Honen model is that everything runs off your company's own knowledge base, so the criteria reflect what your org actually cares about in a client meeting, not a generic script. Same source of truth that powers your courses and agents feeds what "good" looks like in the simulation, so it stays consistent with how you actually train your team.
@boyuan_deng1 @esan_durrani Also important to note, the AI tutor that is part of every course is based on the course but also access to material based in your knowledge base.

Congratulations on the launch team 🙌
The parallel training concept is genuinely interesting
quick Q, how does the MCP integration work in practice? Do the agents pull from it dynamically, or is it a one-time sync?
Honen
@abod_rehman Good question! It's dynamic, not a one-time sync. The Knowledge Base is the single source of truth, and the MCP server exposes it to the agents as live read/write tools. So when an agent acts, it's reading the current state of your company at that moment, and will not be outdated.
That's really the whole premise behind parallel training: you put knowledge in once, and it feeds both sides. Humans through courses, agents through Skills in MCP, all from the same source.
Linked external sources stay updated on their own too, google drive, for example, re-syncs every minute, so changes upstream land in the base immediately.
This is insane!
I saw an article talking about your partnership with NVIDIA, so it's awesome to see your launch here!
I do have a question. How does Honen run live scenarios? Am I speaking with an AI or a real person?
Congrats on the launch! Look forward to checking out Honen.
Honen
@nicktb Thanks Nick! And great question.
For the live scenarios, you're speaking with AI. The scenarios are generated from the company's knowledge and training objectives, so instead of practicing against the typical chatbot, you're practicing against a roleplay that's specific to your organization, products, and processes.
The goal is to give people a safe place to learn by doing before they're in the real situation.

@nicktb @esan_durrani
Also, its more than just a chatbot, you can talk in real time in Honen live scenarios. We're working on making live scenarios even more immersive and realistic so that they surpass live role plays.
How does Honen detect that a process or doc has changed is it watching the source files in real time or does someone on the team manually trigger a course update?
Honen
@alexander_gray3 The knowledgebase syncs with your external sources e.g. google drive every minute. We then run jobs on a specific interval with our radar feature to track if the sources (externally on the web, or internally in your knowledgebase) contain updated information. Every time it suggests a change its a revision you can check out, edit, and approve.
Curious how the simulations work under the hood are these branching scenarios built by the AI from existing docs or does a course creator define the decision trees and the AI fills in the content?
Honen
@amna9 Both can happen! You can direct if you want the AI to just handle it for you and decide what goes in the scenario / rubric to grade or can define them yourself. Whats cool is you an also set static decision trees, or let the AI in the scenarios decide what path to take the learner on
Honen
@amna9 @ryan_trattner
The best part is that the scenarios are highly dynamic and can roll with what a learner is throwing at it but will work to get you back on the path gently if you start verging off too far.
@ryan_trattner Congrats on the Launch. Want to know how Honen avoids creating a course that feels personalized up front but ends up repetitive once lessons and quizzes start?
Honen
@bhawna_rathee Thank you and great question! One of the amazing personalization features of Honen is your ability to chat with the tutor, describe what you are interested in and what you like e.g. your favorite movie, your favorite basketball team, and it'll sprinkle those into the activities. There is a little "magic" icon near the top of the readings for example that if you click it itll re-write the reading, keep the same learning objectives, but personalize it to you and include things that you like. I also think the dynamic of the scenarios being on the fly can also help with the personalization.
+ See the "personal" level of our learn engine which powers all of our products, it will be rolling out more to Honen in the coming months: https://www.studyfetch.com/blog/the-learn-engine
What's the latency like when a course updates? If our compliance policy changes on a Monday morning can employees be retrained on the new version by the same afternoon?
Honen
@ana_popescu2 As fast as you want it to be! You can have it trigger on intervals e.g. check every day or just ask it to change with the new doc and it'll draft it for you right there.
We've seen people follow the courses completely and push changes right away, or spend some time editing revising and testing. Its up to you!
