Hone builds AI that owns outcomes, not tasks.

[Hone @hone]

Today Hone launches Engines: AI that owns business outcomes.

Chatbots give answers. Agents do tasks. Engines deliver outcomes, and we hold them responsible for creating real value, measured in actual dollars instead of tokens or vibes.

You point it at a business metric, and the Engine figures out the rest. It onboards itself, builds the necessary agents, skills, and memories, collaborates with the right people, and gets better with experience.

From AI leaders to global enterprises, our customers have already used Engines to:

• Uncover millions in procurement savings
• Optimize product funnels
• Manage credit risk
• Increase qualified pipeline in new territories
• Accelerate implementations and improve account management

To scale this impact across the economy, we’ve raised a $60M seed led by Benchmark and Index with participation from Elad Gil, Hanabi, Definition, Diffusion, Lux, SV Angel, and Align.

AI’s raw capabilities are far ahead of the value it creates in the real world, and Engines will help close the gap.

Here’s how they work…

We love solving problems, so we built you a new one. Puzzle #2 is live.

Pushing the frontier of persistent multiplayer agents at @hone carries a ton of interesting challenges:

• How can we safely and securely generate organizational learnings from engine sessions that had access to personal connectors?

• How can we separate access (reads) from authority (writes)? I may want an engine to draft emails for 20 different users without having access to their personal connectors.

• When should a learning be considered a user preference versus an organizational best practice?

“You can give the Engine a goal or an ambiguous workstream, and it creates the loop to understand, measure, iterate, and self-improve.”

Hear how @ChrisPrinz at @modal is rethinking GTM with Hone Engines that go beyond executing tasks to own entire workstreams, continuously measure results, and improve performance.

@itsandrewgao @moritz_stephan 100% agents should have KPIs... and OKRs

@victoralazarte Outcomes > tasks. That's the whole thesis 🫡
