About HonestWords

Why we exist

HonestWords was founded in 2026 to solve one specific problem: the most important speeches of people's lives — wedding vows, best man speeches, parent toasts, eulogies, resignation letters — were being written badly in a panic, or not written at all, because there was no fast, private, trustworthy way to draft them in your own voice. Pinterest templates sound like Pinterest templates. AI-generated speeches sound like AI fluff. Human ghostwriters cost $400+ and take 3 weeks. HonestWords is the third option: a disciplined AI-assisted draft that respects your memories, written by editorial-prompt engineering.

The founder

Renan FilhoCEO & Founder

Renan Filho is the CEO and founder behind a portfolio of 5 apps built over the past year, all with one clear mission: to solve key problems for real people. With a background in marketing, he brings a user-first mindset to product development — focusing on clarity, simplicity, and genuine impact rather than unnecessary complexity.

HonestWords is part of that mission: a space where honesty meets technology, helping users navigate truth and communication with confidence.

Renan believes the best products aren't the ones with the most features, but the ones that solve a real problem elegantly. That principle drives every app he builds.

Editorial methodology

Our system prompts were written by hand over six months of iteration. We tested 60+ variants for each of our 5 SKUs to arrive at the voice that produces drafts customers actually deliver. Our prompts share a common spine — stage directions, real language, no marketing fluff — and a per-SKU specialization that captures the conventions of each moment (comedy beats in best man speeches, three-part structure in eulogies, brevity in resignation letters).
