Talk to your idea for 60 seconds. Hone turns it into a structured business brief — then chats with you like a senior consultant to sharpen it.
Hone is the voice-first idea companion for founders, builders, and operators.
Speak your idea for 30–60 seconds. Hone turns the audio into eight structured fields that every business idea needs: title, one-line pitch, target audience, problem, solution, competitors, opportunities, and threats. Then you can chat with your idea like you would with a senior consultant — and every suggested change is logged, so you always know how your thinking evolved.
WHY HONE IS DIFFERENT
• Not another transcription tool. Hone produces a structured brief, not a wall of text.
• Chat per idea, with an audit trail. Every AI-proposed edit shows a diff. Apply, dismiss, or undo — never lose your original.
• Privacy-first by design. Audio is captured and transcribed on your iPhone. Text only travels to a cloud model if you explicitly opt in.
• Czech, Polish, Slovak and more. With cloud AI enabled, Hone speaks your language — not just English.
WHO IT'S FOR
• Indie hackers and solo founders who think on walks
• Operators who want to pressure-test ideas before pitching
• Researchers and consultants who refine briefs over weeks
• Anyone whose best ideas arrive between meetings
HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap record. Speak your idea naturally — half-formed is fine.
2. Hone transcribes on-device and structures it into eight fields.
3. Open the Chat tab and ask the consultant questions. It can propose edits to any field.
4. Apply changes you like, dismiss the rest. Every revision is in the history.
