Changelog

Honen Agent brings your whole LMS into one conversation

• Honen Agent is at the center of the redesigned workspace. Create and edit courses, assessments, and individual activities from your sources. Build readings, quizzes, flashcards, slides, podcasts, comics, and videos. Review the outline, refine the content, and preview the course beside your conversation.
• LMS management is part of the same Honen Agent conversation. Invite people, organize groups, plan curricula, assign training, and review learner progress. Work with your Knowledge Base, brand, templates, reports, and automations in the same place. The Agent works within your permissions.
• Instructor and Learner views give each role its own navigation and working space. Instructors create content and manage their groups and assignments. Learners focus on their courses, assigned learning, and progress. Course authors can check the learner experience and return to editing.

Run Agents on your files and measure their results

• Agents can run tasks from Console or your own app through the API, using uploaded files, reusable Knowledge Base references, and templates. Receive structured results and downloadable documents, with Claude Opus 5.5 now available in the model picker.
• Evals lets you test Agents against your own cases and scoring criteria. Compare scores across runs and inspect the documents, answers, and activity behind each result.
• Agent reports turn generated HTML and images into a page you can share. Anyone with the report link can view it for seven days.

Turn videos into illustrated notes

• Advanced video import creates notes from a recording's transcript and relevant screenshots when you add a video to the Knowledge Base.

See learning that starts in your LMS

• Reporting shows which SCORM and cmi5 packages learners launched, with a view of each learner's course progress and scores. It also separates courses people chose themselves from assigned learning.

Documents from your assistant and audio for readings

• The workspace assistant can create branded Word and PDF documents from Knowledge Base sources you can access. Preview each file in the conversation and download it.
• Read aloud plays course readings with selectable voices and speeds, highlights the current passage, and can speak image descriptions.

Site assistants that know your API

• Site assistants can use the API reference published on a Site to answer visitors' questions about its endpoints and data.

Request access to private Sites

• Private Sites let visitors request access. Site owners can approve, decline, or remove access from the workspace Sites page.

Link LMS sign-ins to existing accounts

• LMS account linking lets learners connect an LMS login to an existing Honen account in the same workspace after verifying their identity.
• Account linking settings let workspace administrators choose whether LMS and single sign-on identities can share one account.

Billing history and clearer AI credits

• Billing history in workspace settings shows invoices and purchases of extra AI credits.
• AI credit usage shows the workspace allowance and purchased credits separately, along with learning usage.

Site documentation for people and assistants

• Spreadsheet projects can be added individually while editing an existing course.
• Sites make published documentation available in a format AI assistants can read, with tables that stay readable on mobile screens.
• Site search lets visitors ask the Site assistant about a result.

Hands-on spreadsheets and branded Sites

• Spreadsheet projects give learners an embedded workbook for guided practice or assessment. Steps can check values, formulas, and formatting.
• Sites can use the workspace Brand in their design and Site assistant.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reusable course templates

• Templates give teams reusable starting points for courses, atoms, and assessments, with a saved prompt, skills, and agent instructions.
• Knowledge Base folders give templates a focused set of sources. Creators use the skills and folders they already have permission to access.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Courses open each topic as Learn, Practice & Reinforce, then Prove. Learn starts open. Later phases stay collapsed until you expand them.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Notion is now a source you can sync to the Knowledge Base. Sign in, pick pages or a database, and they land there — sub-pages and images included. Honen keeps the pages current.

Sites you can share, and a Knowledge Base that reads the web

• Sites can be open to anyone with no sign-in, shared with editors who can publish, or live at a path on a site you already have — your academy, on your terms.
• Point the Knowledge Base at a website and Honen crawls it into searchable pages, on a schedule. Paste a YouTube link and the transcript comes with it.
• Paste a YouTube, Vimeo, or Loom link into a reading and the video plays on the page.
• Workspace admins can open any course their team made and start editing, with no invite to wait on.

• Connect any MCP server — the standard way a tool hands its data to AI. Point Honen at one and it works out the sign-in itself, on the first try, including from your own domain.
• Publish Knowledge Base folders as a live docs section on a Site. Edit a document in Honen and the academy updates without a redeploy.
• A security review of the whole MCP sign-in handoff. The keys to your tools stay yours.

• Sharing on every course. Private, your workspace, or anyone with the link — and people who need access can request it in one click.
• Audience targeting for Explore. Curate a different front page for each group.
• A clearer path to a plan: set your exact seat count, see the cost broken down, and compare plans side by side.
• Your own branded Slack bot keeps its own starter prompts.

Single sign-on

• Single sign-on. Your people reach their workspace with the company login they already have.
• Courses launched from your LMS carry their interactive pieces through, and a learner who opens several SCORM packages is recognized as one person, so their record stays whole.
• AI assistants connected over MCP see the diagrams and screenshots inside a Knowledge Base document, not only its words.

Full Sandbox projects

• Real coding assignments that run in the browser. Hand learners a starter project with folders and files, choose how much computing power they get, and stack up the checks that grade their work as they go.
• Sites can live on your own domain, take on your brand's colors, and be renamed any time. Preview the learner's view from inside the editor.
• The Knowledge Base shows exactly what changed between two versions of a document.
• Send workspace email from a domain you already own.

• The Knowledge Base keeps every document versioned and current, even if an upload is interrupted.
• Google Drive sync follows nested folders. PDFs, Office files, images, and Google Docs arrive as searchable documents, and a long import resumes where it paused.
• Each workspace shows its own courses, so moving between clients or departments gives you a clean dashboard every time.

Your academy, live

• Sites go live on a Honen address, with custom onboarding for people outside your workspace and curricula with certificates on the academy.
• Free team workspaces. Bring colleagues in, build something together, and see it working before you spend anything. Coupon codes work at checkout.
• Choose exactly how many seats you need during checkout, and see the total before you pay.
• Drop screenshots into the explainer video editor, and every video takes on your course's branding.

Explainer videos and house style

• Explainer videos. A narrated whiteboard walkthrough of any topic, generated for you, with the transcript beside the player.
• Rules and Skills for your workspace. Write down how your organization teaches once, and every course and assistant works to it.
• Average scores read from whatever a course actually grades on — tests, projects, or quizzes.
• Connect Granola so meeting notes land in the Knowledge Base.

Reporting, and Sites you can talk to

• Reporting. Import learner records, compile funder and compliance reports, and keep an audit trail — the picture a grant or a board asks for.
• Sites get an AI editor. Describe the academy you want and Honen builds the pages, theme, and navigation with you.
• Learners see what's left on an assignment as an itemized checklist, with a Resume button that drops them back where they stopped.
• Build a curriculum by talking to the assistant — add courses, set the passing grade, attach a certificate.

• Record a walkthrough of any product or workflow and Honen turns it into a click-through lesson, with the hotspots measured and placed for you.
• Full-stack learner apps deploy live in the course. The preview shows errors as they happen and can send one to the agent in a click.
• Slack bots and a public API, so Honen talks to the tools your team already uses.
• Projects can tailor themselves to each learner, attempt by attempt.

Honen opens to everyone

• Start a team workspace yourself. Invite your people, pick a plan, and pay without a sales call in the way.
• Curricula. Sequence courses into a program, set the rules for finishing it, and award a certificate from a template you design.
• View as — see the platform exactly the way one of your learners will, before they do.
• Run your workspace on your own domain, and members land there automatically when they sign in.

SCORM, Drive, and YouTube

• SCORM. Package a course and run it inside the LMS your organization already uses. Completion and score write back to the gradebook, and content can update without a re-upload.
• Google Drive folders land in the Knowledge Base and stay in sync. Paste a YouTube URL and Honen transcribes it as course material.
• A workspace Usage dashboard: who is learning, how long, and where.
• Text the Knowledge Base from iMessage. A QR card, no admin setup.

Connect your LMS

• Connect Canvas, Moodle, or Skilljar. Deep-link a whole course or a graded assignment, with grades passing back to the LMS.
• An Integrations hub in settings — LMS, messaging, and knowledge sources in one place.
• Accessible by design — keyboard paths, screen reader labels, skip links, and reduced-motion support, meeting WCAG 2.1 AA.
• Assignment emails follow the work. Change a due date and everyone assigned hears about it.

• Connect Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, and text as workspace channels. The assistant replies there, attachments included.
• Connect Google Calendar, Drive, and Gmail as tools the assistant can use.
• Instructors set assignment completion criteria — how many activities, whether tests count, a minimum score — and see each learner against them.
• Preview a course as a learner from the editor, so you see what they see.

Knowledge Base

• Knowledge Base. A library for the workspace — folders, a real editor, share links, and tags — so the material you teach from lives in one place.
• Admins curate the Explore page learners see.
• The assistant can search the open web when you ask, with cited results.

The course creator

• Describe what you want taught, approve the outline, and watch each lesson build with progress you can follow the whole way. Research mode searches first and shows its sources.
• Interactive artifacts — hands-on pieces inside readings, quizzes, and tests, with each learner's work saved as they go.
• Workspace branding. Set your colors, logo, and style once, and every course you build starts from them.

• A workspace assistant you can talk to, answering with real cards for courses, people, and assignments rather than walls of text.
• Your workspace overview: alerts, courses, and training activity on one page.
• Alerts that watch what you'd otherwise check by hand — assignments due soon or overdue, courses finishing, streaks slipping.
• In-person coaching with the learner's phone as the camera, so a trainer can see the work in front of them.

• Assignments. Give a course to a group or the whole workspace, with a due date. Learners get My Assignments; new joiners inherit what the group is taking.
• Nested groups. Sub-groups, breadcrumbs, members in the tree.
• Role-play scenarios — voice or text, with characters, scoring, and attempt history.
• Publish or discard unpublished edits so learners see the version you chose.
