Product Positioning & Context

Kai is an AI executive assistant for solopreneurs, freelancers and startup founders. It works across your email, calendar and tasks: it triages your inbox and drafts replies, schedules around your availability, records and transcribes your meetings, then turns them into summaries and action items. Workflows run in the background, and Kai hands tasks to Claude or ChatGPT with the context of the meeting or email they came from. Web, desktop and mobile. Product Hunt sign-ups get 2x trial credits.

Congratulations! Can’t wait to try KAI out in my law practice.

Great, well done on getting off to a good start! Is it possible to add more than one email address? Personal and professional?

Super happy and proud of the journey we've had the past 8 months to give birth to Kai. This will only be the start of Kai's takeover >:)There's a lot of these AI assistants out there, from veteran players like Meta Muse or fresher companies like Instinct, but I'm confident in our perspective and taste on what a practical but enjoyable experience looks like.Hope everyone has a good time with Kai!

Nice to see an AI product that cares this much about the interface. Can I use it on my phone as well as on my laptop?

The example where Kai sees that Jim wants to push the investor call and already has the new time and a draft reply ready is the part that sold me. That is the difference between an assistant that waits for a prompt and one that actually watches your calendar and inbox. I have lost real hours to exactly that kind of back and forth over email! One question: when Kai drafts a reply, does it pull in earlier messages from the same thread so it knows what was already promised, or does it only look at the latest message? That context is usually where my own replies go wrong.

I'm super excited to have been testing Kai for a while now as one of it's beta users. The "go be human" phrasing of Kai is incredibly accurate. I've always loved what the Kai team built with Morgen, and although i've got the technical know-how to connect up all my tools, when @dannyhatcher introduced me to what the team were making I was like... oh I can just do the things. Now I use Kai for a variety of things, Inbox Management, Food Prep, Study Sessions... Medicine Reminders for all the things you know you've gotta do... but always end up being a little bit slippy. It's just nice to have a single place to go to be able to check my calendar, emails and tasks without having to think about the connective tissue behind it. That plus the fact there's an MCP so I can connect with my local agents, means that there's an easy customisable pipeline for me to do the work i gotta do, whilst also juggling life admin, looking after two children, and running a business with multiple moving parts at the same time. The clean interface that just works means I don't have to think about how to make it work... it learns what I do, and makes it possible without having to futz around with connectors or... anything else technical... if you don't wanna. Sure productivity is great and all... but frankly just being able to send a quick message to remember something whilst cooking food and my children ask me for something... and it just appears scheduled in my calendar makes things far faaar easier than it ever used to be.... And unlike other tools that say they do the same things as Kai... They are just missing the features or the UI that makes sense for how I work. Congrats to the team! You all did a fantastic job!

Congrats folks! Amazing launch and amazing product, thanks for letting me beta test it! Can't wait to see what's coming next

David, carrying the meeting context into a task before handing it to Claude makes sense. Saves the person having to reconstruct what was promised on the call. Congrats on the launch!
[Redacted] • Oct 13, 2026
Hey, I really like the retro editorial style and UX! Your attention to detail always stands out, and with all your experience building calendar and task integrations, this feels like a natural next step.A few technical questions out of curiosity 😊Are background tasks predefined and scheduled by the backend, or can the agent decide when and how to act?How do you choose models for different tasks, and when do you escalate to a stronger model?How do you protect the agent against prompt injection from incoming emails?
[Redacted] • Oct 13, 2026
Does Kai make recordings through a bot joining the meeting or straight from the desktop application? How are guests notified?Btw, Congrats @david_tedaldi1 , @andrezzoid , @alaamoucharrafie and team Kai 🎊

I'm glad the user still gets the final say before anything is sent. With email especially, a little human oversight goes a long way. Congrats team!
[Redacted] • Oct 13, 2026
Watching Kai improve over the beta has been great. The team ships fast and actually listens to feedback. What was the most requested feature from beta users that made it into the launch?
[Redacted] • Oct 13, 2026
Dude, drop this now, please, I beg you. Waiting for years on such a solution. For private and pro use !
[Redacted] • Oct 13, 2026
The background workflow are probably the most interesting part. How much can users automate without having to approve every single step?
[Redacted] • Oct 13, 2026
Scheduling around real availability is underrated. A calendar can look empty while your brain is already juggling ten different things.
