Hone is a San Francisco-based applied AI lab building Engines — persistent AI systems that take ongoing ownership of business outcomes such as inbound conversion, vendor management and credit risk, rather than completing one-off tasks. An Engine onboards itself into a company's systems, people and history, works through Slack, Teams and email, and improves from feedback and observed results, with logged and auditable actions. Hone was founded by Moritz Stephan, Oliver Brady and Carlo Kobe, and its team includes alumni of Cognition, OpenAI, Decagon, Ramp, Mercor and Jane Street.
