Kai is a small, offline, voice-based companion that helps people understand hormonal transitions by interpreting what their bodies already tell them. Tipped toward you, the double-cube device listens; tipped away, its mic is off, making privacy physical. It offers words, patterns and context, never diagnoses, and a companion app creates visit summaries for doctors. Everything runs locally on the owner’s own hardware. Built on research showing people are dismissed and left to self-educate, Kai addresses naming and continuity but can’t fix the broken system around them.
