Hey folks 👋

Two weeks has gone by in a flash for us - and we’ve got a lot to show for it.

So much in fact, that this email is a day late!

Before all of that, though, we have a quick favour to ask:

Turning up the pressure 🔥

We’ve started digging into a big question:
How does Kin serve people in high-pressure environments?

Founders. Entrepreneurs. Elite athletes.

People who operate under constant stakes and stress.

We’re listening, learning, and seeing how Kin can evolve into a real edge for how they prepare, recover, and perform.

If that sounds like you, or someone you know, we’d love to hear your story.

Get in contact with us at [email protected], or reach out to us on our Discord, to start a conversation.

Anyway, now on to the changes…

What’s new with Kin 🚀

Advisors enter the chat 🧑‍🏫

Starting this week, we’re introducing Advisors into Kin - a collection of independent specialist personas designed to give you sharper, more tailored support.

At launch, you’ll meet:

• Thinking Partner → to bounce around ideas
• Strategic Assistant → to cut through the noise and plan
• Relationship Coach → to help you navigate the messy stuff between people

We did this because, instead of a one-size-fits-all model, Advisors allow Kin to feel more like the roundtables and podcasts that inspire so many of us.

It’s a cleaner way to consider conflicting viewpoints, and to provide you with a range of dedicated fresh perspectives on whatever choice you decide to take.

Hands-free is free to roam 🎙️🚴

If you’ve been trying to use Kin while biking to work (very Danish of us), driving around, or squeezing in a jog, we have some good news.

Our new, updated hands-free experience will roll out this week, so you can properly chat with Kin on the move.

This mode lets Kin enter those short, in-between moments when you don’t have time to sit down - but still want to clear your head or prep for the day ahead.

Memory that actually remembers 🧠✨

We’ve been talking about our memory upgrades for a while, and this week, one of the first is going out.

This update makes Kin’s Memory clearer and more comprehensive, so that it’s easier to control, easier to review, and easier to give feedback on. That means more accurate recall, fewer frustrations, and better conversations over time.

It also means we’ll get more feedback from you, so we can make it better faster.

Come chat with us 🔊

You can always reach out to the KIN team at [email protected] with anything, from feature feedback to a bit of AI discussion (though support queries will be better helped over at [email protected]).

For something more interactive, the official Kin Discord is still the best place to talk to the Kin development team (as well as other users) about anything AI.

We regularly run three casual weekly calls, and you’re invited:

• Monday Accountability Calls - 5pm GMT/BST
  Share your plans and goals for the week, and learn tips about how Kin can help keep you on track.
  ‍
• Wednesday Hangout Calls - 5pm GMT/BST
  No agenda, just good conversation and a chance to connect with other Kin users.
  ‍
• Friday Kin Q&A - 1pm GMT/BST
  Drop in with any questions about Kin (the app or the company) and get live answers in real time.

This week’s super prompt 🤖

This week’s super prompt is:
“How do I tend to approach situations?”

If you have Kin installed and up to date, you can tap the link below (on mobile!) to immediately jump into discussing how you personally approach difficult situations, an gaining an insight to which of our three new Advisors you most closely identify with.

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

Keep talking 🗣

We’re gearing up for some big changes and big releases, both this week and beyond.

More importantly, what we’re bringing to you isn’t fully fleshed out - we’re building this plane while we’re flying it.

Which means, your voices are as needed as ever.

So please - reply to this email, chat in our Discord, or even just shake the app to reach out to us.

Without knowing how you feel, we can’t make Kin the best app it can be for you.

With love,

The KIN Team
