Our primary focus is on fostering multidimensional understanding by facilitating the interaction of diverse perspectives. With Hunome, users can explore how things were, are, and could be, all while embracing the inherent diversity of human perspectives. It's important to note that Hunome is free to use, and our commitment to offering a free product will always remain unchanged.

We solve the problem of disparate perspectives. Recognizing the complexity of human matters, we understand that there is rarely a single definitive answer. Instead of relying on scattered, fragmented, or siloed information that may offer only singular viewpoints, we employ smart data to connect perspectives, foster the evolution of insights, and cultivate collective understanding.

Our aim is to enhance perceptions and decision-making processes through a holistic approach that embraces diverse viewpoints.

Hunome traces its origins back to the 1990s. Our founder established a pioneering role at Nokia focused on uncovering human-aware insights and integrating them into various aspects of the company's operations, including vision, strategy, and product development. Since departing from Nokia, she has continued to pursue her vision of making accessible a deeper understanding of human nature that would otherwise remain elusive. Hunome emerged as the realization of this vision, integrating insights from product development, human-awareness studies, foresight, and systems thinking. The alternative, as she discovered, would entail wasting significant time and resources in the pursuit of genuine human understanding.
