HoneyBook

Today, we’re unveiling the next phase of HoneyBook AI—technology purpose-built for the reality of running your own business. Because here’s the truth: AI wasn’t created with independent business owners in mind. We’re on a mission to change that. With over a decade of data and member insights, HoneyBook AI is designed to simplify workflows, save time, and unlock growth—and the results among our members speak for themselves: → 2x more projects booked → 94% higher gross payment volume → Up to 3 hours saved each week Our commitment to independent businesses drives every part of our AI development. As HoneyBook CEO Oz Alon says: “While others are focused on enterprise AI applications, we’re bringing AI to the independent economy—the creators, the small but mighty teams, the solopreneurs. This is where AI will have the greatest impact, and HoneyBook is uniquely positioned to deliver it.” Learn more about how we’re building AI that revolutionizes the way independents work: https://bit.ly/4l3MQjs
