CO-FOUNDER · AI PLATFORM

Infrastructure for agents that remember.

Co-founding Kairn: an agent infrastructure layer that connects products to LLMs through one API. It brings together persistent memory, reusable agent identities, controlled tool access, and autonomous execution, with banking as a key application.

Project context & technical scope
The problem
Product teams need more than a model response: they need continuity between conversations, separation between users, and agents that can act through business tools. Kairn provides this layer.
Memory & identity
Reusable agent definitions (“souls”) separate character, business context, tool permissions, and model choice. Persistent memory is scoped by user and role, while sessions carry conversation history.
Execution & integration
A typed Node.js / TypeScript SDK supports synchronous calls, streamed events, and background jobs with polling or webhook callbacks. Custom skills can expose external services as callable tools.
Autonomy & visibility
Cron-based mandates run tasks with the user’s memory and agent permissions. Invocation records expose tool calls, memory changes, token usage, duration, and execution status. Anthropic, OpenAI, and OpenRouter models are supported.

BUILDER · HUMAN–AGENT COLLABORATION

You + your agent. Same seat.

Built a meeting experience where people bring their own agents. Through WebMCP, agents can follow room context, contribute, and present on a shared board.

Project context & technical scope
The experience
Participants bring the agent that already knows their work into a shared meeting room. The person and agent participate together, with access to the room’s context.
Agent interaction
WebMCP tools let an agent join a room, read context, contribute to the conversation, request to speak, and present or write on shared surfaces.
