Kai is a fully autonomous AI agent native macOS, one of the first of its kind. Hi, I'm Steph the developer.

Kai books your vacations, pre-fills your taxes, finds the fastest route to the vet, controls your smart home, and lets you text it from your phone to check on your Mac while you're out. Kai will check your email, post on your social media and edit those photos from the wedding.

With full agency on the macOs and all its apps, it also connects to over 120 apps out of the box and maintains persistent memory across every interaction through a semantic graph, so it remembers context from weeks ago without you repeating yourself. All user data is stored locally on your machine. Privately.

Kai is capable of running fully offline on Apple Silicon with local models, lowering considerably the cost of utilisation allowing you to use more for less. But it also supports any major cloud provider. It's about giving you the choice.

Beyond conversation, Kai supports full hands off control, vision and voice, meeting recording and transcription, a visual automation builder with conditional logic, full system control, and a notes system where everything you write becomes part of its memory.

Launching in April. Would appreciate feedback on the concept, the scope, and whether the use cases resonate. Happy to answer questions about the architecture.

Thank you, Steph
