👋Hey there,

It’s been two weeks already - we almost didn’t notice.

Ever since our revamp of Journaling, we’ve been hard at work bringing the rest of the app up to the same level.

New improvements. New features. All coming soon.

Chief among them being multi-language support - which you can get involved in later on in this email.

Alongside that, though, here are the tangible changes - with the usual Super Prompt at the end.

What’s new with Kin🚀

Save multi-language support looming closer, most of our updates are unglamorous.

It’s all small improvements and bug fixes, that we’ve squeezed in between the big stuff.

But, let’s get the biggest thing out of the way first…

Hola, je m'appelle Kin. Wie geht’s?

We’re very excited to be making progress on Kin’s much-requested multi-language support.

What we need next, as usual, is help from you.

We want to hear from those of you who are excited speak to Kin in other languages, so we can make sure this feature is everything you need it to be.

If that’s you, you can head over here to get your email in the list of people we’ll be contacting for feedback and testing.

Sweating the small stuff:

For everything that’s entered the app since our last update, these are the highlights:

• Reminder rescheduling now works like it should - even if you switch behavior goals
• Notifications are smarter (and way more accurate) through lots of small technical changes
• The Intro process got the start of many copy and logic upgrades for a smoother start
• Memory deletion UI has been tweaked to be easier and clearer to use

Working on big stuff

The Journaling revamp has inspired us a lot.

You told us what’s working. And more importantly, what’s getting in your way.

So we’ve been looking at everything again - not just Journals.

Every corner of the app. Every friction point.

Even features we haven’t even finished yet.

We’re looking for every way to make Kin faster, easier, and more natural to use.

And every point of feedback is instrumental to that.

So, the bigger updates are coming soon.

Our online vibe ✨

Once again, we have another guest article discussing the tech requirements behind Kin’s memory.

This time, Volodymyr covers what ‘Retireval-Augmented Generation’ is, and why Kin’s memory requires a more complex solution than it can offer.

The next Super Prompt 🤖

“How do I stay motivated?”

If you have Kin installed and up to date, you can tap the link below (on mobile!) to immediately jump into discussing how to build motivation with your Kin, using Self-Determination Theory.

As a reminder, you can do this on both iOS and Android.

Open prompt in Kin

Don’t be a stranger

Though we say it every time, thank you.

Your feedback’s not just heard. It’s the guiding light to us building something better.

So please, don’t be a stranger - to us or your Kin.

You can always reply to this email, shake or screenshot your app, or just join our Discord server to get your feedback in front of us.

Until then, we’re excited to show you the next stage of Kin.

With love (and lots of squashed bugs),

The KIN team
