Meet Kona’s AI Voice Assistant for Business

You have an idea, three concerns, and a decision to make. Sometimes, the easiest way to work through all of it is to say it out loud.

Kona’s new conversation feature brings an AI voice assistant for business to KonaBusiness.ai. You can talk through an idea, hear a response, ask a follow-up question, and keep the discussion moving. Use it to brainstorm, explore a decision, prepare for a meeting, or figure out your next step.

You can start with a rough thought. The conversation gives you room to explain, reconsider, and ask better questions as you go.

What can you do with Kona’s voice conversation feature?

Kona voice chat lets you have a spoken, back-and-forth discussion about the work in front of you. You can add context, ask for a simpler explanation, or interrupt to steer the conversation in a different direction.

That makes it useful for questions that develop as you talk: Which customer should you focus on? What is missing from your pitch? How should you explain a new offer? What deserves your attention this week?

Here are five ways to put it to work.

1. Talk through a business idea

A business idea often starts as a possibility: a problem you keep noticing, a service people ask for, or a product you wish existed.

Describe that idea to Kona and ask it to help you examine the details. Who would use it? What problem would it solve? What alternatives do those customers already have? What would you need to learn before investing more time?

Try saying:

“I want to start a bookkeeping service for independent contractors. Help me narrow down the customer and decide what I should ask in my first five customer interviews.”

Then keep going: “Focus on construction contractors,” or “What am I assuming that I haven’t checked?”

Use the discussion to identify questions you can take into actual customer conversations. For a structured next step, explore how to write a business plan with AI.

2. Explore a decision from several angles

When you are choosing between two reasonable options, explaining the trade-offs can help you see what matters.

Tell Kona what you are deciding, what you want to achieve, and what constraints you face. Ask it to explore the strongest case for each option, question your assumptions, and identify missing information.

Try saying:

“My team is stretched. We could bring in a freelancer or reduce the number of services we offer. Ask me questions that will help me compare those options.”

You can follow up with, “Which parts of this decision are reversible?” or “What would make the other option more attractive?”

The aim is a clearer understanding of the choice and the evidence you need to make it.

3. Practice a pitch or a difficult conversation

An explanation can sound clear in your head and become complicated when you say it aloud. Kona’s conversation feature gives you a place to rehearse and refine your message.

Ask Kona to play the role of a potential customer, a skeptical stakeholder, or an investor hearing your idea for the first time. Explain your proposal, respond to questions, and ask which parts need clarification.

Try saying:

“Act as a potential customer who is interested but unsure about the value. Let me explain our service, then ask one challenging question at a time.”

Try a second version with less jargon, a more concrete example, or a shorter opening. You can also prepare for a project update, a scope discussion, or a customer renewal meeting. For more help shaping your story, read Kona’s pitch deck writing guide.

4. Find a clearer marketing message

If you know your product well but struggle to explain why someone should care, start by describing the customer’s situation.

Tell Kona who you help, what frustrates those people, and what your offer changes. Ask for different ways to communicate that value, then discuss which direction fits your audience.

Try saying:

“We help busy parents arrange weekly house cleaning. Help me explore three marketing angles, then ask me questions to work out which one best matches our customers.”

As you talk, you can ask for a warmer tone, a more specific benefit, or an explanation that avoids industry language. Use the conversation to settle on a message you can develop into website copy, emails, or social content.

5. Turn a busy week into clear priorities

When everything feels urgent, talking through the workload can help you organize it.

Describe your deadlines, unfinished tasks, and available time. Ask Kona to help distinguish immediate commitments from work that can wait, and discuss what a realistic week could look like.

Try saying:

“I have two client proposals, a product demo, and a backlog of customer follow-ups this week. Help me choose my top three priorities and explain what I should defer.”

Add details as the discussion develops: “The demo is Wednesday,” or “I only have one uninterrupted afternoon.” Finish by asking Kona to recap the priorities and the first action for each.

How to start a voice conversation with Kona

Open KonaBusiness.ai, sign in, and choose Voice conversation in Chat. Allow microphone access when prompted, then start talking about the question or task you want to work through.

For a useful first conversation, share three things:

• Your situation: What are you working on?
• Your goal: What do you want to clarify or achieve?
• Your constraints: What limits your time, budget, or options?

For example: “I run a small design studio. I want to win more repeat business, and I have two hours a week to work on it. Help me explore where to start.”

Ask follow-up questions as they occur to you. You can mute the microphone when you need a moment and end the conversation when you are finished.
