Changelog

Currently on version 1.37.0

Latest release: 1.37.0

Courses that adapt to each learner

  • Course personalization lets you write course-specific questions so learners share their goals before they start. Readings can use those answers.
  • Proactive Tutor can reach out during learning — after repeated mistakes, a pause, or a success — without the learner asking first. Choose which moments are allowed.
  • Adaptive Courses lets the tutor suggest optional topics for one learner. They accept the set, and it appears under Just for you in their lesson plan.
  • Video Studio lets you build a course video from scenes, media, and captions in the course editor.
  • Sites shows Knowledge Base folders as a tree when you choose what to publish. Selecting a category includes the pages beneath it.
  • Improved coding assignments that run in the browser so a failed publish names the project and opens it.

Release 1.36.0

Linked GitHub docs and Sites you can search

  • GitHub Documentation syncs HTML files with Markdown, and screenshots update when they change. A relative link between pages opens in the Knowledge Base and on your Sites. Each document can set the order it appears.
  • Sites in Default mode let visitors search documentation from the keyboard and resize the sidebar. An API reference page shows a request they can copy, with authentication, parameters, and a JSON body.
  • Improved Automations so a workspace can keep more than one scheduled task.
  • Improved Citations so Learner View shows the sources that person can see, and that view stays as you move through the course.
  • Improved Jam so lyrics stay with each song through editing and regeneration, and a session opens once lyrics and audio are ready.

Release 1.35.0

Ready-to-publish Sites and curated group homes

  • Sites offers a Default mode for launching an academy, documentation, or API reference with your own branding. Arrange pages and sections visually, or ask the Site Assistant to edit them.
  • Group homes use the Explore visual editor to arrange course collections, catalogs, and learning paths. Managers can open the editor directly from the group home.
  • Workspace usage has its own tab in workspace settings, where administrators can check credit balances and purchase extra credits for their team.
  • Improved WebMCP so assistants in compatible browsers can find Honen’s API and MCP connection details and open courses, pricing, setup guides, or support from public pages.
  • Improved visitor assistants so replies appear as they are written and conversations stay open as visitors navigate the site. Choose whether source links open published pages on your site or the Knowledge Base.
  • Improved Site previews so Reset restores the saved preview and publishing waits for the latest edits to finish saving. Switching between Default and Custom explains each mode before you confirm.

Release 1.34.0

Richer Agent chats and your brand in the LMS

  • Website embeds let visitors attach files, paste screenshots, and return to earlier conversations. Choose a centered welcome or an input at the bottom, and control whether the chat remembers their history.
  • LMS branding lets you set the name and logo for your Canvas, Moodle, or Skilljar connection. Your branding carries through setup, course selection, and learner launch pages.
  • Knowledge Base version history compares two saved versions of a document, with additions and removals highlighted in the document or its HTML.
  • Agent proposals include a description of the suggested course update. Agents can submit a replacement for a pending proposal, and reviewers can open both the earlier version and its replacement.
  • Improved Automations so runs follow the Agent’s saved instructions and guardrails. Open a run from Agent logs to watch its progress or read the completed conversation.
  • Improved the course editor so reading and lecture images refresh from the current draft after assistant edits.

Release 1.33.0

Agents keep working in Slack and Teams

  • Slack and Microsoft Teams carry course creation and editing through long tasks, with progress updates in the conversation and a final reply when the work is ready.
  • Improved Agent replies so completed work arrives with a conversational summary and links to the result. Course links open the learner experience.
  • Improved Explainer videos so generated videos follow the course’s brand, including visual guidance and available reference images.
  • Improved Templates so outlines and build progress follow the selected activity mix, including courses without unit assessments. Clearing a template restores the creator’s original prompt.

Release 1.32.0

A monthly view of creation and learning

  • Monthly activity in Analytics shows who created, what first published, and how many people started or finished. Pick a month, and the workspace assistant can answer the same questions.
  • Readings and lecture slides can use original screenshots from your source materials. A figure from the Knowledge Base appears as it was captured.
  • A template input starter writes the sentence in the create box, with blanks and dropdowns a person fills in before they begin.
  • Rules apply when topics, readings, quizzes, lectures, and the rest of a course are generated, on the surfaces you choose.
  • Improved Explore so you can add category headings, tint a section, and choose which groups see each row.
  • Improved Brand so artifact icons have a searchable library. Import a ZIP or a CSV, name each icon, and generated HTML can use them.

Release 1.31.0

Reusable course templates

  • Templates give teams reusable starting points for courses, atoms, and assessments, with a saved prompt, skills, and agent instructions.
  • Improved setup questions: add up to three custom questions with optional answer guidance, or use the agent’s usual setup questions.
  • Knowledge Base folders give templates a focused set of sources. Creators use the skills and folders they already have permission to access.
  • Improved Rules and Skills with searchable lists and spacious editing screens that follow the Agents dashboard. Template management has its own role permission.
  • Improved custom roles so administrators can create and assign separate roles for rules, skills, and templates.
  • Improved template structure with optional unit counts, topics per unit, and activity types. The course settings selector keeps templates attached for future edits.
  • Improved template covers with image uploads and brand-aware AI generation. Disabled controls explain what to do next.

Release 1.30.0

Separate control for AI rules and skills

  • AI permissions let administrators give each role control over rules, skills, or both.
  • Skill sharing lets managers grant use of a skill to selected people and groups through the familiar Share dialog.
  • Skill audiences can include everyone in the workspace or selected recipients. New skills start restricted, and existing skills keep their audience.
  • Improved skill discovery so menus and direct links respect each person’s current access.

Release 1.29.0

Review, publish, and keep every course current

  • Publishing gives team workspaces a review step before a course reaches a catalog. Choose reviewers and how many approvals are needed, then publish to several catalogs from one place. Each review holds the version you submitted while you keep editing.
  • Changes shows reviewers the lessons, questions, images, and settings an update affects, with before-and-after previews and the full course alongside them. Highlight a passage to leave a comment, discuss it in a thread, and approve or send the update back.
  • Catalogs have their own browse pages, covers, descriptions, and ordered curricula alongside courses. Upload a cover or generate one with AI, choose the audience, and connect the collection to groups or Sites.
  • Groups bring direct courses, shared catalogs, and ordered learning paths together. Assigned curricula stay grouped in My Courses, and workspaces can show learners their groups in the sidebar.
  • Inbox brings review requests, course feedback, and publishing decisions together across your workspaces. Open an item to reach the relevant course or review, with unread activity kept in one place.
  • Automations run an Agent on a schedule or when another system calls its webhook. Write the task, choose the time zone, and use the Agent's existing model and access settings. See the next run, pause a task, run it now, and open past runs for the result and conversation.
  • Agents can prepare course updates for human review. Give an Agent access to selected knowledge and permission to propose changes on selected courses, then describe the task. Send proposals to course editors or a catalog's review queue, and put recurring checks on a schedule.
  • The workspace assistant can create and organize catalogs, manage their content and audiences, inspect the review queue, and create or pause automations. Ask it to work with the course, catalog, curriculum, or review you have open.
  • Filesystem in course settings lets editors browse saved versions and inspect the files inside them. Optional branches provide a separate place to prepare course changes and submit them through review.
  • Webhooks send events from Honen to your own systems: course publications, catalog changes, learning progress, assignments, and membership updates. Choose the events an endpoint receives, inspect deliveries, and retry a delivery when needed.
  • Assignments can include people whose workspace invitations are still pending. Pick them alongside current members, and their assigned courses become available when they accept.
  • German and French join English, Spanish, and Arabic as interface languages across the dashboard, course creation, learning, integrations, and public pages.
  • Improved Microsoft Teams so people can send files and inline images to an Agent and receive generated files in the conversation. Typing feedback shows while it works, long answers arrive in full, and setup guides administrators through installation and member linking.
  • Improved Brand so PDF guidelines up to 5 GB upload and process in the background, with live progress through extraction and analysis.
  • Improved invitations so administrators can copy an invitation link, and a person opening it with a different email can switch to the invited account.
  • Improved the course editor so an interrupted outline stream reconnects and the lesson plan refreshes from the saved draft as generation continues.
  • Improved workspace learning so team members can study the courses their organization provides without a personal subscription, including courses added from the public catalog.
  • Improved Analytics so deactivated learners remain in historical reports, with their assignment and course progress retained for review.

Release 1.28.0

Explainer videos you can edit

  • Explainer videos generate as scenes you can edit. Change the caption, narration, voice, or picture on a scene, then rebuild. The current video stays playable while it works.
  • Improved Study banks so a deck opens on what's due. Pick Spaced repetition or Free form. List sits beside that, and each row shows its review state as a dot.
  • Improved the course editor so a turn keeps going if you leave, Stop ends it, and a reload brings back the helpers that were working.
  • Improved the lesson plan so a project opens on its own page.

Release 1.27.0

Your brand on every course, and Study banks

  • Brand has its own page. Start from a website, a reference file, or scratch. Preview a reading and a lecture slide, then save. Turn on Use this brand on every course and generated images follow it.
  • Turn on Keep sharp on a course: short look-backs as they go, and a check-in after they finish. An assignment can set its own cadence.
  • Study banks open from the course. Dashboard shows what's due. Review walks the schedule. Practice is the whole deck, with no grades attached.
  • Flashcards, quizzes, and tests can carry an image or a video on each item.
  • Improved the dashboard so you pick the language it is written in, and invites, course generation, and the tutor follow it.
  • Improved assignment emails so several courses arrive as one message.

Release 1.26.0

A record of every Agent turn

  • Agent Runs record every turn across Slack, Teams, iMessage, and embed — how many, who asked, and what it cost. Open Logs for the conversation. Pick the model when you build the Agent.
  • Improved Sites so a live preview appears, and a failed check can be tried again.
  • Improved the course editor so a reading stays on the page while you watch it, and Materials scrolls.
  • Improved Advanced so a spoken reply is said as sentences.

Release 1.25.0

  • GitHub Documentation is now a source you can sync to the Knowledge Base. Sign in, pick folders in a repository, and the markdown lands there — images included. Honen keeps the files current.
  • Ask Claude or ChatGPT to make a course, an assessment, or an atom. The MCP server creates it, shows a preview in the chat, and hands you the same share link the dashboard does.
  • In Learner experience, a course can open a topic on the lesson itself, with an intro for the goals and the other ways to start.
  • Improved assignment picking so an Assessment or Atom shows when you filter to that kind.
  • Improved course creation so an assessment is ready once the test exists, and an atom is built as the lesson you asked for.

Release 1.24.0

Not everything needs to be a course

  • An Assessment is a new thing you can create — only a test or a project, with no curriculum wrapped around it. Say what you want assessed and you get that, rather than a six-unit course built to lead up to it.
  • An Atom is one lesson or one exercise, created the same way. It behaves like any other course underneath, so a link, an assignment, progress, and your LMS all treat it the same.
  • Pick the kind when you create, and change it later in the course's settings. My Courses filters by kind, and a course carries its kind on the card in Explore.
  • A curriculum opens as an ordered track — one course per step, with your place on it.
  • Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini to a Site through its MCP server. Copy the address, sign in, and an outside assistant edits the same academy the one in Honen does.
  • Improved completion so an assessment that was assigned with its test optional counts once the learner has done the work.

Release 1.23.0

Agents where your team already works, and xAPI in both directions

  • Agents are assistants you build in your workspace and put where people already are — Slack, Microsoft Teams, iMessage, or a chat embedded on your own site. Write the instructions, set the guardrails, choose what it can reach. The same agent answers on every channel it is connected to.
  • An agent's access is decided once. Start from a profile — answer questions, build courses, run learning operations — or name the exact knowledge and courses it may use. What you set is the limit, whatever anyone asks the agent to do.
  • LMS through xAPI sends your learning records to the record store you already run, like Watershed, Learning Locker, or SCORM Cloud. Where SCORM reports a score, this reports what happened — which activity, how long, what result. Honen is a record store of its own as well: mint a credential and another system can read those records or write its own into the same place.
  • Export a course for your LMS from one action on the course, and pick SCORM or cmi5 from a menu that says what each one is for. cmi5 is ready in an organization workspace, and the package stays live — edit the course and every LMS you deployed it to has the change.
  • Improved My Assignments so a card opens the topic, test, or project that was assigned, and the assign screen shows whether the whole course or one part of it is in effect.
  • Improved course covers and tutor illustrations so a new picture is drawn when you ask for one.

Release 1.22.0

A tutor that can look things up, and assignments that cover one piece

  • Added an Advanced tutor option on each course. A stronger model, and a chat that shows headings, tables, code a learner can copy, and pictures. A learner can attach a photo or a file.
  • Turn on search of the Knowledge Base, the whole course, or illustrations, and the tutor looks something up, finds where else it appears, or draws a diagram. Point at a topic with @ and it can offer to open it.
  • Assignments can cover a unit, a topic, a reading, a test, or a project. The link opens that piece. Finishing one section leaves the rest of the course as it was.
  • Single Activity Links open one piece of a course on its own. When the learner finishes, they can go back to Slack or another site you allow.
  • Improved Advanced so a spoken session answers.
  • Improved course creation so a file you already uploaded is ready for the next course, and a failure says what happened.

Release 1.21.0

  • Citations mark the Knowledge Base passages a reading drew on. Generate a course from your library and numbered markers sit in the sentences they support. Open one for the quoted text and the source.
  • A course chooses how much of a cited source a learner can see — the name, the quoted passage, or the full document. New courses inherit a workspace default.
  • A reading lists every source it used, each with the passage it drew on.
  • Improved Knowledge Base search so a file turns up by the words in its name.
  • Improved Drive so a long recording finishes in the Knowledge Base.

Release 1.20.0

  • Google Classroom takes a Honen course or a graded activity. Install the add-on, attach it to a post, and learners get access when they open it. Graded work writes a score back to the Classroom gradebook.
  • OneDrive is now a source you can sync to the Knowledge Base. Sign in, pick files or a folder, and they land there — Office files, PDFs, and images included. Honen keeps them current.
  • SharePoint document libraries sync into the Knowledge Base. Sign in, pick a site, a library, or files, and Honen mirrors the tree.
  • Highlight a passage in the course editor preview and add it to the assistant. The quote and where it came from travel with the request.

Release 1.19.0

  • Document360 is now a source you can sync to the Knowledge Base. Connect your project, pick a category or the whole workspace, and published articles land there — nested categories as folders, images included. Honen keeps the pages current.
  • The course editor assistant sees the reading, lecture, or project you have open, so you can say make this better without naming it.
  • Improved Knowledge Base so saving a document, creating a folder, or adding a blank page lands as you finish.
  • Improved live previews so a coding assignment or academy opens from your workspace's own domain.
  • Improved analytics and course progress so a learner's earlier work on a course counts.

Release 1.18.0

  • Courses name the topics, tests, and projects still left to finish, on the same bar as the rest of the course. A reading counts when the article ends.
  • Improved Prompt Challenge so a run is graded against the published reference the learner was shown.
  • Improved Canvas launches so a course opened from the LMS lands on the dashboard.
  • Improved interactive forms so a spec that can't be read is repaired as you apply.
  • Improved Sites so an upload in the academy editor lands in the sandbox.

Release 1.17.0

  • Guardrails set the limits the AI tutor holds with learners — academic integrity, child safety, staying on the course. Write them for the organization or start from a library written for each age group. Mark one for every course and it applies across the workspace; a course picks up the rest in its own settings.
  • Improved course visibility so a public course in a team workspace is listed for the organization.
  • Improved readings, lectures, and flashcards so opening a finished one starts at the beginning.
  • Improved quizzes so moving through the answers with the keyboard leaves the question open until you choose.
  • Improved Explore so a search finds a course by name or a short form of it — ML for Machine Learning.
  • Improved the voice tutor so a spoken session keeps going when speech recognition drops.

Release 1.16.0

  • Courses open each topic as Learn, Practice & Reinforce, then Prove. Learn starts open. Later phases stay collapsed until you expand them.
  • Improved quizzes so after you pick an answer, Select confidence stays on the screen.
  • Improved comics so opening one again returns you to the page you were on, or the cover if you had finished.
  • Improved Sites so documentation on your academy keeps its navigation as you move through nested pages.
  • Improved the voice tutor so you can stop a spoken reply while it is talking.

Release 1.15.0

  • The course editor names the unit, topic, or project when a file can't be read, and offers to ask the assistant to repair it.
  • A course file with a stray character is repaired as you apply your changes.
  • Improved save and apply so a failure says whether the draft saved.
  • Improved the repair notice so it stays on screen until you close it.

Release 1.14.0

  • Salesforce Knowledge syncs into the Knowledge Base. Sign in to your org and pick a data category group — Honen mirrors the category tree as folders and the published articles inside them, images included. Pick your whole knowledge base instead and every published article lands in one place.
  • A Salesforce article that gets republished updates on its own, and one that gets unpublished comes out. Articles filed under more than one category appear under each.
  • An incident on Honen appears as a banner at the top of the dashboard, with a link to the status page.
  • Content sources on the way appear with the same name and description as the ones you can connect.
  • Improved Knowledge Base sources so the images inside a synced article are copied into your workspace and keep working after the link that served them expires.

Release 1.13.0

  • Courses in Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, and Urdu follow the script. Readings, quizzes, tests, flashcards, lectures, podcasts, comics, and chat align the way that language is read.
  • Ask for a course in another language and Honen writes the outline and every activity in it.
  • Improved Arabic so generated course text uses a typeface built for the script.
  • Improved mixed-language pages so a Latin term in an Arabic paragraph, and a table of English terms beside Arabic definitions, each follow their own script.

Release 1.12.0

  • Confluence spaces can sync into the Knowledge Base. Connect your Atlassian site, choose a space, and Honen mirrors the page tree — nested pages as folders, each page as a document, images included.

  • Improved Confluence so a large space keeps every page as it syncs.
  • Improved Knowledge Base so linking a folder, creating a document, or saving an edit lands even while a sync is running. Restore a folder and its documents come back with it.

  • Improved Knowledge Base imports so a batch of pages appears as they finish.
  • Improved Sites so a new publish shows the latest design.

Release 1.10.0

Release 1.7.0

Single sign-on
