What's New

What's new in Kai.

Kai gets better every couple of weeks. Here is what landed recently, what it does, and how to try it.

  1. New

    Kai's biggest update yet

    A new look across the app, task handoff to Claude, Kai over MCP, and meeting briefs.

    Do it with Claude, in Kai's new look

    Do it with Claude

    Hand any task to Claude or ChatGPT without leaving Kai. Kai writes the prompt from the task and how you like things done, shows you exactly what goes out, and lets you set what “done” means and any limits before you send.

    A whole new look

    Kai runs on its own design system now. Cleaner screens, chunky new controls, and the Kai character across the app. You can see it in the clip above.

    Kai as an MCP server

    Connect Kai over MCP

    Kai speaks MCP, so you can reach your meetings, transcripts, tasks and calendar from the tools you already use: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and any client that supports MCP. Ask about a call in Claude and it reads the transcript straight from Kai.

    How to connect
    https://api.morgen.so/mcp-kai
    1. Copy the connector URL above.
    2. Paste it into your app's connector settings: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, or any app that reads MCP.
    3. Approve it once on Kai's own screen. No API key, and you can revoke it anytime.

    A brief before every meeting

    Open an upcoming meeting and Kai pulls together a brief: who is coming, your recent email threads with them, and a bit of research on each person. Hit “Prepare meeting brief” and it is ready before you walk in.

    A new way in

    New accounts get a redesigned first run: a quick tour, connect your email and calendar, tell Kai your role and what slows you down, and it starts working from minute one.

    Also in this update

    • FeatureStop Kai in the middle of a reply with a stop button in the chat box.
    • FeatureKai can create, rename and delete your tags for you.
    • ImprovementLong task, event and meeting titles wrap instead of getting cut off, and you can click to edit them in place.
    • ImprovementYour calendar fills in while it is still syncing, so you are not waiting on a blank week.
  2. New

    Point Kai at exactly what you mean

    Select the tasks, meetings, events and emails you care about, and Kai offers the next move for them.

    Pick what Kai works on, then take the next step

    Context Indicator

    Ctrl-click (Cmd-click on Mac) the tasks, meetings, triage items or emails you want Kai to focus on, and each one becomes a chip in the chat box. Kai then works on exactly what you picked instead of guessing from the conversation.

    Suggested actions

    Once you have picked something, Kai reads what it is and offers the next steps that fit: Prepare, Reschedule, Draft reply, and more. One tap instead of writing out the request.

    Also in this update

    • ImprovementKai now asks for approval only before it sends or changes something outside the app, like an email or a calendar invite. It no longer stops to confirm routine task and scheduling work.
  3. Milestone

    The first users are in

    Kai left the waitlist behind. A small batch of seats now opens every day.

    First sign-in, first seats

    Daily seat drops

    Kai is in closed beta. A limited number of seats opens on hirekai.ai each day. Grab one and you are working with Kai the same day.

    Guided onboarding

    New accounts start with a short guided setup: connect your calendar, email and Slack, tell Kai what hurts most, and it starts working from the first minute.

    Also in this update

    • FeatureRate Kai's answers, triage and meeting summaries with a thumbs up or down.
    • ImprovementThe mic shows a live waveform while you dictate, with cancel and stop controls.
    • ExperimentalKai on mobile is in early testing on iOS and Android.
  4. New

    Summary and action items when you stop

    Also in this update

    • FeatureEmail the recap and action items to your team in one click from the side panel.
  5. Update

    Kai now answers in Slack

    Pull Kai into a thread and it picks up the whole conversation.

  6. Update

  8. Update

    Your inbox, triaged. And you can talk to Kai.

    Two ways Kai gives you your attention back.

    Email, triaged before you open it

    Kai sorts your inbox into what needs a reply, what to know, and what is waiting, so you only deal with the few that matter.

    Hold the mic, talk, let go

    Talk to Kai

    Dictate instead of typing. Hold the button, say what you need, let go.

    Also in this update

    • FeatureEmail connects for every user now.
    • ImprovementSharper detection of tasks at risk, with a clearer triage card.
  9. Update
