Great ideas. Clear decisions.
No busywork.
Collect ideas from workshops, documents and your team, develop and prioritise them together, and keep every decision on record. Simple to start, built for European data protection.
Questions teams ask before they start
- Who is IdeaHone for?
- For innovation teams, facilitators and consultancies who run idea workshops and need to turn many ideas into clear decisions. It works for a single workshop and for an idea pipeline across many sessions and teams.
- Where is our data stored?
- On servers in Germany, run by a German host. IdeaHone follows the GDPR, and organisations get a data processing agreement for the content of their sessions.
- Is the meeting recorded?
- No audio is stored. IdeaHone only listens after the facilitator presses Start listening and confirms that everyone was informed. Speech is turned into text and the audio is discarded. By default the transcription runs inside the browser, so the audio never leaves the device.
- What will our works council or our participants say?
- IdeaHone is built for workshops, not for monitoring. Participants are informed before listening starts, voice recognition only works for people who explicitly agreed to it, and your organisation decides what is kept and for how long.
- Can we delete our data?
- Yes, at any time: single sessions, whole spaces or your entire organisation. You can also set an automatic deletion period for transcripts.
- Does the AI see our content? Is it used to train models?
- Only the excerpts the AI needs are sent to the AI provider your organisation chooses, with settings under which the content is not used for training wherever the provider offers this. If you prefer, choose the local model: then no text leaves the browser at all.
- What does it cost?
- Early access is a paid pilot. The price depends on your team size and how often you run workshops; we agree it with you before you start, with no hidden costs.
- Can external guests take part?
- Yes. Share a participant link and guests join with just their name, see the board live and add their own cards. No account needed.
- Do we need to install anything?
- No. IdeaHone runs in the browser. In the room you need one laptop with a microphone, and everyone else can follow on their own screen.
- Why not just record it and ask a chatbot?
- A recording gives you a summary after the meeting. IdeaHone works during it: a live board everyone shapes while they talk, an AI facilitator and experts who ask, challenge and fill gaps, and ideas, questions and decisions that are clustered and ready to score. Every idea is followed from first mention to decision across all your sessions, instead of starting from zero each time.
- Does the AI decide which ideas win?
- No. The AI team proposes: cards, questions, research and pre-scores. Your team edits, discusses and decides. Every card, summary and score can be changed.
