YOU + KAI“Hey KAI, help me turn this idea into a plan.”
A little help, always close
Big ideas.
Little sidekick.
Install KAI Assistant to bring KAI out of the chat window and onto your desktop. A familiar face to talk things through, find your next step, and lend a hand.
- Make it a conversation.
Talk or type, ask follow-ups, and interrupt a reply by saying “KAI.” Choose a voice with a little personality.
- A helping hand on your desktop.
Ask KAI to open a website or help with supported apps. Review the task, grant access, and stop at any time.
- Give your AI a little context.
Install Brain to keep useful memories, projects, and goals. Choose what KAI remembers and edit it as life changes.
Voice listening is opt-in. Desktop control depends on your operating system, apps, and selected model.
Take control of your AI
Local first.
Open to your possibilities.
Start on your computer. Reach the decentralized network when you need more. Bring an API provider when you choose. Your AI, on your terms.
On your computer.
Run compatible models on your own hardware. Local inference has no per-token API bill, and Local Only keeps your AI requests on your device.
Your models · Your hardwareThe decentralized network.
Go beyond your hardware without relying on one AI provider. Independent computers share the work, reducing dependence on a single company’s AI ecosystem. Shared capacity and usage-based pricing are designed to keep costs lower.
Independent compute · Credits purchased with KOINYour API providers.
Use your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key for desktop conversations. Choose the model that fits the task, with usage billed by that provider.
Optional · Your own accountKeep sensitive work in Local Only. Network requests pass through the scheduler and a serving provider; browser chat history is saved to your account.
For the things you want to build
Your ideas.
Your agents.
Your next project.
Build on an open plugin platform. Use Workflows for visual agents and approvals, Koinos Code for projects, and Tools for MCP and developer utilities. Create your own signed plugin using the same public SDK as KAI plugins.

Turn routines into workflows.
Describe a routine or connect steps on a visual canvas. Use local reasoning, conditions, schedules, and approvals to make it repeatable.
Work across your connected apps.
Bring selected app actions into chat. Ask for a document, spreadsheet, or calendar update, then review the action before it runs.
Build services on your own API.
Connect your tools and products to KAI's local endpoint. Build an application or service around compute you control.
Connected actions require account setup and the appropriate permissions. Scheduled workflow reasoning uses installed local models while the desktop app is open.
A network you can be part of
AI works better
when we share the power.
A decentralized network gives people a part in powering AI. Put compatible capacity to work, earn KOIN on mainnet, and help make capable AI more affordable. You set the resource limits.
1 Install and choose compatible models.
2 Set your limits and opt in to earning.
3 Serve verified AI jobs and track your activity.
Two ways to contribute
Lower costs by design.
Using existing hardware and paying for the work you use keeps the focus on useful compute. The goal is lower costs; actual rates depend on model and network demand.
KOIN · Mainnet AI provider rewardsSupport Koinos.
The optional KAI Koinos Node plugin offers a separate path to participate in the blockchain and configure block production.
KOIN · Separate node economicsDo I need crypto to use KAI?
No. Local models are free to run on your own hardware. Eligible free network credits are available in Core; additional USD-pegged credits can be purchased with KOIN. AI providers earn KOIN on mainnet. External API providers bill separately.
Can I use local models and API providers?
Yes. The desktop app supports installed local models and your own OpenAI or Anthropic connection. You choose the provider for conversations. Local Only blocks external providers; your API keys stay encrypted on your desktop.
What stays on my computer?
Local inference runs on your hardware. Your local workspace and model files stay there. Using an external AI provider, connecting an app, enabling account sync, or choosing network compute sends the information needed for that feature. You control those choices.
Can KAI actually do things in my apps?
With the Assistant and Connections plugins, KAI can use permitted actions from connected accounts and help with supported desktop tasks. You choose the connection, permissions, and actions, and review changes before they happen. Support varies by app, account, and model.
Are these features in the download today?
KAI Core Beta is live and replaces Alpha. Install optional plugins from Plugins, then open them in Apps. Each plugin updates separately. Beta features may still have rough edges; check Core and plugin release notes.
