What to expect

You’re on the first call with her. Kinly tells her in Mandarin that it’s an AI you set up, and asks if she’d like a call each day. If she says no, Kinly won’t call again.

Will she know it’s an AI?
Yes. Kinly tells her on the very first call, in Mandarin.
What language are the updates in?
English.
Does Kinly speak Cantonese?
Not yet. We’re working on it.
What if something’s wrong?
Kinly isn’t an emergency service. If she’s in danger, it tells her to hang up and call 911, and emails you straight away.
Can she stop it?
Any time, just by saying so.
Is it free?
Yes. Kinly keeps nothing for itself. If it books a ride or a meal, you pay what the business charges.

Kinly is free.

Calls, updates, alerts and bookings cost nothing. No card needed to sign up.
