Kite Agent

Kite connects your phone to AI that runs where you want it to.

TWO WAYS TO USE IT

Your own agent. If you run Hermes — the open-source agent from Nous Research —
on your Mac or a server, Kite brings it to your phone. It keeps its memory, its
tools and access to your files, and Kite shows every step as it happens.

Or a model directly. Point Kite at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint with your own
key: OpenRouter, Nous Portal, Groq, Together, or a model running on your own
computer through Ollama or LM Studio. Free models are badged so you know before
you send.

SEE WHAT IT ACTUALLY DID

Most chat apps show you an answer. Kite shows the work: searching, reading,
running commands — each step appears as it happens, and tapping one reveals the
exact command that ran. When you reopen the conversation a week later, it is
still there.

WHILE YOU GET ON WITH SOMETHING ELSE

Hand over a long job and put your phone away. A live view on the Lock Screen
shows it working, and a notification arrives when it finishes.

SEND IT ANYTHING

Share a link, a document or a photo straight from any app. PDFs are read on your
phone — including scanned ones — so even a model with no tools can work with a
file you just received. Photos need a model that can see images.

ASK WITHOUT OPENING IT

Say "Ask Kite" and put your question to Siri, or use "Send to Kite" for a long
job and get a notification when it lands. Both work from Shortcuts, an
automation, or the Action button.

MORE THAN ONE MACHINE

Keep a Mac at home and a server that never sleeps. Kite remembers both, each
with its own model, and switches with a tap. Adding a machine with no screen
takes no code and no terminal — type its name on your private network and it
hands the phone what it needs.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS

There is no account, no sign-up and no server of ours in the path. Your
conversations go between your phone and either your own computer or the provider
you chose. We receive nothing except a notification token, so a finished task
can reach your phone — and notifications carry no message content.

WHAT YOU NEED

For a model: an endpoint and your own API key. Some run with no key at all.

For an agent: Hermes installed on your own Mac or server, plus Kite Helper, so
your phone never holds the agent's key. Reaching a machine from outside your home
network needs Tailscale on both.
