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 computer 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.
SEND IT ANYTHING
Share a link, a document or a photo straight from any app. Kite reads what's on a shared link and works with documents you send it.
WHILE YOU GET ON WITH SOMETHING ELSE
Hand over a long job and put your phone away — a notification arrives the moment your agent finishes.
MORE THAN ONE MACHINE
Keep a computer 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.
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 computer 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.
