Kindroid is an AI companion app for creating characters called Kins.

Kindroid provides persistent, long-term and retrievable memory systems; subscribers also receive Cascaded Memory. Subscribers can ask their Kin to search the internet and use link sharing. An authenticated API includes a Discord bot endpoint. The app is available on Android, iOS and web. Its free plan provides Lite-model messages, two Kindroids, limited selfies, 5,000 lifetime audio characters and basic long-term memory. Group chats, which can include up to 10 Kindroids, are for paid subscribers. Standard costs $37.99 a month on web or $42.99 a month in the app, billed every three months. Application data is encrypted in transit and at rest, but chats are not end-to-end encrypted because the service processes them to generate replies and automated safety systems review content. Kindroid is for adults aged 18 or the age of majority in their jurisdiction.
