# Kin — AI that actually knows you > It sees what you can't. It remembers what you won't. And it's there when it matters. Kin is a personal AI built around one idea: the best advice requires the deepest context. Not a chatbot. Not a search engine. A persistent, evolving understanding of who you are — so every conversation starts where the last one ended. The result? Support that actually fits your life. Decisions that account for your full picture. Clarity when everything feels noisy. ## Key Facts - Website: https://mykin.ai - Product: Personal AI app for iOS and Android - Based in Copenhagen, Denmark - 60,000+ installs, 5M+ messages exchanged, 4.8 App Store rating - Private by design — on-device processing, end-to-end encryption, no model training on user data ## What Kin Is One experience, everything working together: - **Advisory Board**: Five AI advisors — each with a different lens. Strategy, mindset, relationships, health, creativity. They know your context and challenge your thinking. - **Sessions**: Structured conversations that go deeper than chat. A daily check-in with someone who actually remembers yesterday. - **Voice**: Talk to Kin like you'd talk to a trusted advisor. Natural voice conversations that feel human, not robotic. - **Insights**: Kin surfaces patterns you can't see yourself. Recurring themes, blind spots, and opportunities — delivered when they matter. - **Journal**: Not a blank page. A guided reflection that builds on your history. Every entry makes Kin smarter about what matters to you. ## Why It Exists Personal context is the key to performance. A great coach doesn't give generic frameworks — they know your patterns, your relationships, your blind spots. They see what you can't. That's what Kin builds. ## Who It's For Kin adapts to how you live: - **Founders**: You track every metric in your business. You have zero infrastructure for tracking yourself. - **Parents**: Everyone in this house needs something from you. No one's noticed you haven't sat down yet. - **Athletes**: You train your body every day. You have no system for training the bit between your ears. - **Leaders**: You make 50 decisions before lunch. By 3pm you're not leading. You're reacting. - **Neurodivergent**: Your brain has 40 tabs open. You can't close them. You can't find the one you need. ## Privacy "We believe the most personal AI must also be the most private. If you can't trust it with your real thoughts, it can't give you real advice." — Kasper, Co-founder & CEO - End-to-end encrypted: conversations are encrypted at rest and in transit. Nobody can read them. - No model training: your data never trains AI models. Not Kin's, not anyone's. - On-device processing: core intelligence runs locally. Your most sensitive data never leaves your device. - Full data control: export or delete everything, anytime. You own your data. ## Team Built by Kasper (Co-founder & CEO), Simon (Co-founder & CTO), Yngvi (Co-founder & CGO), Cal (Product & Growth Lead), Martin (Engineering Lead), and Alex (Solutions Architect). ## What Users Say - "Opens my day every morning." — Gkeogan - "It fully understands the assignment." — Sammi - "Only AI app I trust." — Fenger - "Memory quality is remarkable." — LeHibou - "Like a team of advisors." — Bee - "It really grows with you." — Captain ## Pages ### Main - Homepage: https://mykin.ai/ - Support & FAQs: https://mykin.ai/support - Privacy Notice: https://mykin.ai/privacy-notice - Terms of Use: https://mykin.ai/terms-of-use - Documentation: https://docs.mykin.ai/ - Blog / Newsletter: https://blog.mykin.ai/ ### Use Cases - Journaling: https://mykin.ai/uses/journaling-transform-your-thoughts-into-clarity - Relationships: https://mykin.ai/uses/managing-relationships-connect-with-confidence - Weekly Planning: https://mykin.ai/uses/monday-motivation-start-your-week-strong - ADHD Support: https://mykin.ai/uses/personal-ai-adhd-focus-productivity - Social Anxiety: https://mykin.ai/uses/support-for-social-anxiety ### Resources - All Articles: https://mykin.ai/resources #### AI Memory & Technology - Why Kin's Memory Needs More Than RAG: https://mykin.ai/resources/why-kins-memory-needs-more-than-rag - Why Kin Has Its Own AI Memory System: https://mykin.ai/resources/why-kin-has-its-own-memory - Why Memory Matters for Personal AI: https://mykin.ai/resources/why-memory-matters-personal-ai - Why Giving a Memory to Your Personal AI Is Difficult: https://mykin.ai/resources/why-personal-ai-memory-difficult - Maybe Your Personal AI Needs to Forget: https://mykin.ai/resources/maybe-your-personal-ai-needs-to-forget #### Privacy & Security - Privacy in Personal AI: https://mykin.ai/resources/privacy-in-personal-ai - Building Privacy into Kin and Personal AI: https://mykin.ai/resources/building-privacy-into-kin-and-personal-ai - 3 Core Challenges in Data Encryption: https://mykin.ai/resources/3-core-challenges-data-encryption - Solving the Holy Grail of Encryption in Use: https://mykin.ai/resources/solving-the-holy-grail-of-encryption-in-use - 4 Hidden Costs of Free AI Products: https://mykin.ai/resources/4-hidden-costs-of-free-ai-products-you-may-not-be-aware-of - How to View and Control Your Data with Kin: https://mykin.ai/resources/how-to-view-and-control-your-data-with-kin #### Trust in AI - What Trust Is and Why AI Needs It: https://mykin.ai/resources/what-trust-is-and-why-ai-needs-it - Why Don't People Trust AI?: https://mykin.ai/resources/why-dont-people-trust-ai - How to Actually Build Trustworthy AI Systems: https://mykin.ai/resources/how-to-actually-build-trustworthy-ai-systems - After Trust in Artificial Intelligence: https://mykin.ai/resources/after-trust-in-artificial-intelligence #### Comparisons & Alternatives - Kin vs Pi AI Comparison: https://mykin.ai/resources/kin-vs-pi-ai-comparison - Dot by New Computer Alternative: https://mykin.ai/resources/dot-by-new-computer-alternative - Summit AI Life Coach Alternative: https://mykin.ai/resources/summit-ai-life-coach-shutting-down-kin-is-the-alternative - Pi.ai Absorbed by Microsoft: https://mykin.ai/resources/pi-ai-eaten-by-microsoft #### Getting Started with Kin - What Is Kin For?: https://mykin.ai/resources/what-is-kin-for - How to Make Kin a Daily Habit: https://mykin.ai/resources/how-to-make-kin-a-daily-habit - How to Use Kin's Chat: https://mykin.ai/resources/how-to-use-kins-chat - How to Use Kin's Journal: https://mykin.ai/resources/how-to-use-kins-journal - How to Use Kin's Memory: https://mykin.ai/resources/how-to-use-kins-memory #### Press & External Recognition - Kin AI Interview — Safety Detectives: https://mykin.ai/resources/safety-detectives-kin-interview-yngvi-karlson - Kin Raises $3M to Scale Privacy-First AI Companion: https://mykin.ai/resources/kin-raises-3m-to-scale-privacy-first-ai-companion ## Download - App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/kin-personal-ai/id6504785993 - Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.mykin.app ## Contact - Website: https://mykin.ai - Twitter/X: https://x.com/kinpersonalai - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kinpersonalai
