Description
Kin serves as a crucial control layer, empowering users to manage and oversee the actions of their AI applications within their personal and professional accounts. By connecting accounts once to Kin, users can establish comprehensive rules that dictate what each AI app is permitted to do. This system ensures that every action initiated by an AI app—whether it's issuing a refund, deploying code, or posting to a social platform—either runs automatically, waits for explicit user approval, or is blocked entirely, all according to predefined rules.

The platform addresses a key concern for AI users: maintaining control over their data and actions. Unlike connecting accounts directly within each AI app, Kin centralizes permissions. This means users sign in once to Kin, set their rules, and all approval requests appear in a single, unified location. This approach not only streamlines management but also provides a clear record of every action an AI app has taken. Furthermore, if an AI app is removed from Kin, its access to connected accounts is immediately revoked, enhancing security.
Kin offers robust security by checking rules on its own servers before any call reaches a user's account, and AI apps never directly hold sign-in credentials. This architecture prevents AI apps from bypassing established rules. For teams and businesses, Kin provides shared workspaces, allowing multiple members to manage connections and rules under a single company bill. This feature is particularly useful for keeping client accounts separate through dedicated profiles, ensuring that AI apps only access relevant data.
The service integrates with a wide array of popular AI apps like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok, as well as various services such as GitHub, Stripe, Notion, and Slack. It also supports connecting any API with an OpenAPI document for Pro plan users. Kin's activity log provides a transparent overview of all AI app actions, allowing users to monitor and even pause all AI app access instantly. The platform is designed for flexibility, enabling users to switch between AI apps without reconfiguring rules, as connections and rules persist.
Kin offers a tiered pricing structure, including a Free plan with basic rules and approvals, a Lite plan for shared notes and tasks, a Pro plan for advanced task hand-offs between AI apps and API connectivity, and Team and Enterprise plans for collaborative workspaces and enhanced security features. Most paid plans include a free trial period, allowing users to experience the benefits before committing. The ability to cancel anytime, with connections and rules remaining active under the Free plan's limits, provides additional flexibility.

How to use Kin?
Connect Accounts: Sign in to your desired accounts (e.g., GitHub, Stripe) once through Kin. Your AI apps will never directly see your passwords.
Set Rules: For each account and action, define a rule: Allow (runs automatically), Ask me (requires your approval), or Block (stops the action).
Add AI Apps: Connect your AI applications (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to Kin using a single address, then choose which accounts each app can use.
Approve Actions: When an AI app requests an action under an 'Ask me' rule, review and approve it from any device, including your phone or watch.
Monitor Activity: Use the activity log to see a record of every action taken by your AI apps, including who asked, for what, and how your rule responded.
Manage Team Access: For teams, create a shared workspace, invite members, and manage company connections and billing centrally.
