See how families use Kin
A few moments from a typical day with Kin at home.
Your morning, handled. Kin briefs the whole family on what's ahead so everyone starts the day on the same page, without anyone having to ask twice.
Homework help, your way. You set the rules for how much Kin helps with schoolwork. It can guide your kids’ thinking instead of doing the work for them.
Never forget what matters. Kin holds on to the details that slip through the cracks so the moments that count actually feel that way.
Get more done, privately. Kin knows your context and your voice, so it can actually help with real work. Nothing leaves the house.
Always on, no exceptions. When the internet goes down, Kin keeps running. It lives on your hardware, so nothing depends on a connection you don’t control.
Context that carries forward. Mention something in the family chat and Kin holds on to it. No need to repeat yourself the next time it matters.
It gets better the longer you use it. Kin builds a richer picture of your family over time, so every conversation gets a little more personal and a little more useful.
Common questions
Because the AI industry is building tools that benefit platforms, not families. We wanted something different: an AI that lives entirely on your hardware, remembers your family’s life, and belongs to no one but you. Read our full mission →
Not at all. Setup takes about 10 minutes and walks you through each step. If you can install an app, you can set up Kin.
Most modern Macs from 2022 or later work great with Kin. Keep in mind that your computer’s specs directly impact Kin’s performance: more memory and a faster chip means a faster, smarter Kin.
Yes. Kin runs as a server on a computer in your home, so that machine needs to stay on and available whenever you want to use Kin, whether you’re on your home network or connecting in from anywhere in the world. A computer that gets shut off means Kin goes offline. It’s also worth knowing that Kin’s performance is tied directly to the hardware it runs on, so a more powerful machine means a faster, smarter experience.
Yes. Kin supports up to 12 family members, each with their own profile. Parents set the rules for kids and teens. Everyone shares the same private hub.
Nowhere. Your data lives entirely on your hardware at home. Kin never sends your conversations, memories, or family information to any server. Not ours, not anyone else’s.
No. Kin is a one-time purchase of $96. That’s the same as one year of ChatGPT Plus, except Kin never expires and no one can take it from you.
Yes. Kin runs locally on your hardware, so the core AI works even without an internet connection. An internet connection is required if you want to access Kin remotely or use certain connected features.
Bug fixes and minor improvements are always free. Major version upgrades are paid and completely optional. You never have to upgrade to keep using Kin.
Yes. Kin includes a memory import tool that lets you pull in your conversation history and saved context from ChatGPT and other AI tools. Your existing memories, preferences, and context carry over so Kin can hit the ground running from day one.
