Using Kiki

Once Kiki is set up, here's how to actually use it day to day. The big shift from a normal computer: you don't manage windows and files — you describe goals, and Kiki does the work.

The essentials

  • Working in sessions — every task is a session you can watch, pause, and pick up later (even on another device).
  • The desktop — the prompt bar, the status bar, and the launcher, all built around what the agent is doing.
  • Who's in control — choose how much Kiki does on its own, from "ask me first" to fully hands-off.
  • Talking to Kiki — voice is built in everywhere; speak to start, steer, or interrupt.
  • Apps & the store — add new abilities the agent can use.
  • Your data — where your stuff lives and how you stay in charge of it.
  • How Kiki remembers you — it learns your preferences over time, privately.

The one idea to keep in mind

A "session" is a piece of work Kiki is doing — a goal plus the agent working on it. You can have several going at once, send them to the background, and they keep running. Switching what you're looking at doesn't pause the work. That's the whole model. Start with Working in sessions.
