Problem Solved
What problem does Kin solve?
It is for people and teams who let AI apps such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex act on accounts like GitHub, Slack, Notion or email. Today each AI app gets its own sign-in, so it is hard to see what an agent did or stop it before it deletes a repository or sends an email. Kin holds the sign-ins, checks your Allow, Ask me or Block rules on its server, logs every action and lets you pause all AI apps at once. Example: Cursor tries to delete a GitHub repository and Kin blocks it.
