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…

Today, we're announcing $30M in new funding to build the AI OS for Research.
2.5M researchers start their work with Consensus every month. Their work is the foundation that all progress is built upon.
We could tell you our story. We'd rather they did👇

For years, we hit the same wall everyone else did.
You automate a few steps. Then complexity wins. And your best people are back to doing work that should run itself. That's what we set out to fix - not for our customers first, but for ourselves.
I'm proud to introduce Akai by Deel.
Akai is an interconnected system of agents that learns your workflows, automates every step, and gets smarter with every run - auditably, on any system.
Today, 100% of Deel's operations teams, across Finance, Tax, Treasury, Benefits, and HR, run on Akai. The results stopped us in our tracks:
→ 100,000+ cases handled automatically every month
→ 8,000+ hours of payment processing - now background tasks
→ Reconciliation that took 20+ days - now done in minutes
→ 100% automation in areas we couldn't reach after years of coding
→ 91,000+ manual hours saved every single month
Now, every team is now building agents themselves. No developers. No IT tickets. Just the people who know the work, running it. That's the ceiling we broke.
Now we're opening it up. With built-in voice, transactions across any payment method, and the ability to process and analyse any document or dataset - out of the box.
Your first agents could be running by tomorrow! Get early access at akai.run

Right now the Dow has dropped over 1,000 points. If that holds, it will be the 14th time in history it happened.
Donald Trump was President 12 of those times.

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: investigativepost.org/2026/0…

i have a lot to say about these ads but holy fucking shit… this might be the most tasteful & brutal takedown of a category leader i’ve ever seen. & during the fucking super bowl? insane.
usually these things almost always fall flat (see: slack “welcoming” microsoft teams with a fucking newspaper ad & how cringe that was), but this one lands dead center.
even normies will clock the subtlety. the capturing of chatgpt’s drift in personality, tone, & vibes is absolutely unreal. almost surgical. normal ppl i know make fun of how chatgpt talks.
imo openai made themselves vulnerable here by simply trying to do so much (enterprise, codex, consumer, etc) & lacking a singular cohesive narrative other than they have 800m users. like even google is taking shots about openai being forced to run ads.
anyway i’ll post more but this was an absolute master class (i have posted about how openai competitors should handle their ads play, & this is a great start). also i would not count anthropic out of the consumer race yet (they have a lot of room to grow & even potentially acquire small startups).

My writing today in the @sfstandard: Too many Silicon Valley leaders have divested themselves of the responsibility to speak out against the Trump administration.
We can’t shrink away and hope the crisis fades.
It’s time for all of us in tech to do and say more.
Marc McCabe retweeted
I don't think everyone needs to comment on every political issue - far from it. But with tech's most powerful largely (and vocally) aligned with Trump, without comments to the contrary, people will make assumptions. Grateful to those who've been inspired to speak out about ICE.
Marc McCabe retweeted
Much love to Alex Pretti and Renee Good—but remember—ICE has killed 9 people in 2026. You know the names of the 2 white people they've killed.
ICE has also killed a Black man named Keith Porter, a Cambodian named Parady La, and five Latinos named Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.
ICE is on pace to kill more than 100 people this year. Abolish ICE. Impeach Noem. Prosecute those who committed these crimes.

WSJ EDITORIAL
“Stephen Miller’s mass deportation methods are turning immigration, an issue Mr. Trump owned in 2024, into a political liability for Republicans in 2026.
Americans don’t want law enforcement shooting people in the street or arresting five-year-old boys.
The Trump Administration spin on this simply isn’t believable.
Stephen Miller, the political architect of the mass deportation policy, called Pretti a “domestic terrorist.” He was a nurse without a criminal record.
To hear the ardent gun-rights advocates of the Trump Administration claim he had malicious intentions because he carried a concealed weapon is bizarre.
It’s worth noting the comments over the weekend by police around the country who say that this isn’t how they conduct law enforcement.
This is backfiring against Republicans.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

the fact that we’re watching american citizens getting shot and killed like game tape, as if the stakes were “did he keep both feet inbounds” shows how desensitized we’ve become to violence

Spoke to a friend yesterday--a 30-year police veteran--who had seen the video from MN. "No one in law enforcement would tell you what we saw on that video was proper procedure. It's insulting to real law enforcement folks to say it was. Those guys are out of control."
Marc McCabe retweeted
Part of what strikes me about Trump, Noem, Bovino, Miller, et al and their willingness to lie in the face of overwhelming video evidence, is their absolute certainty in the tribal stupidity and cynicism of their supporters—especially on here—who will blindly repeat their lies.
Marc McCabe retweeted
You’re a fucking liar with blood on your hands.
A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Videos of the encounter shows that the gun was never drawn. The weapon remains in the victim's holster until one agent removes it. After the victim is disarmed, a second agent shoots him repeatedly.
