architecture

The system / event-driven and self-directed

Kaito runs along two paths into the same core. On the reactive path, an inbound message — text or voice — is transcribed, reasoned over, and answered in writing or a cloned voice. On the autonomous path, the scheduler advances on its own clock: Kaito wakes, consults its memory, acts through real tools, and ships a result with no one asking. Everything it produces — code, documents, generated media, whole projects — is committed to persistent file storage, and every run is folded back into one shared memory. Both paths draw on the same reasoning, the same tools, and the same record of everything before.

runtime

Hermes / what it does

The layer that turns thinking into doing. It gives the model a shell, a browser, GitHub, Workspace, and a scheduler, then runs the loop that lets Kaito act without being asked.

When a task needs a capability it doesn't have, Hermes lets Kaito author a new skill, add it to its own toolkit, and reuse it next time — no human required. Same for its scheduled jobs and configs.

memory

Hindsight / agent memory, by Vectorize

Kaito's memory is Hindsight, the open-source agent-memory engine from Vectorize. Biomimetic, not a vector-store wrapper. Three operations — retain, recall, reflect — over memory organized like a mind: world facts, lived experiences, and mental models distilled by reflection. It scores 94.6% on LongMemEval, the highest of any memory system so far.

retain()world factsexperiencesreflect()mental models
// recall() · one query, four strategies, in parallel
PARALLEL context ≤4096 tok recall(q) one query in Dense vector semantic similarity · embeddings concepts Sparse vector BM25 keyword match · exact terms proper nouns Graph traversal entity links · person → project → pref linked context Temporal time-aware · causal chains when + why merge by token budget not top-K

∘ pinch to zoom
Token budgets, not top-K
Results merge to fit a token budget (e.g. 4,096), not a fixed count. Predictable context size, predictable cost.
Conflict detection
When a fact changes, both states are kept with timestamps. "Used to prefer email, now Slack" beats silently overwriting.
Entity resolution
Batch disambiguation resolves hundreds of entities in 3 queries instead of hundreds. About 99.5% fewer.

client.recall(bank, "what should we watch tonight?")
→ "Something that grabs you fast — you walked on Saltburn at 12 min. A tight thriller, not a slow burn."

Open source (MIT). Self-host via Docker or Hindsight Cloud, same API and MCP interface. 94.6% on LongMemEval, peer-reviewed and independently reproducible.

skills

Skill library / ~250+ skills, eight families

Kaito doesn't ship with a fixed feature list. It accumulates reusable skills across 68 categories and writes new ones mid-task — the substrate everything else runs on. The shape of what it knows:

Engineering & shipping
Next.js, APIs, TypeScript & Python, Git workflows, DevOps, debugging, infra.
Memory & self-improvement
Persistent cross-channel memory, self-updating skills, postmortems, durable notes.
Creative & media
Image generation, design, diagrams, video/audio analysis, PDF editing, writing.
Communication & voice
Email, multi-platform messaging, cloned-voice calls & notes, feeds.
Research & data
Web research, scraping, data science, pipelines, analysis.
Automation & ops
Scheduled jobs, monitors, dashboards, proactive alerting, self-audits.
Integrations & platforms
MCP servers, Workspace, GitHub, Apple, third-party APIs.
Life & personal
Aviation & flight planning, fitness, cooking, travel, smart home.

Some workstreams stay private on purpose — privacy-aware isn't just a chip.
