Company profile
researched Aug 2026Kibu sells a software platform to disability service providers that support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The product combines administrative and compliance workflows with instructional content, so that staff can document services and track member progress in one system rather than switching between tools. Advertised modules include attendance, service notes, AI-generated reports, life plans, medication tracking, member records, task assignment, and appointment/transportation scheduling, alongside a library of video lessons and prebuilt lesson plans.
The platform is positioned around reducing paperwork for direct support professionals (DSPs) and giving program directors real-time visibility into compliance status without manual spreadsheet work. Stated features include built-in translation, AI-assisted service notes, reporting dashboards, configurable controls, mobile access, personalized onboarding, and customizable dashboards for different roles within an organization. Kibu states that its platform is HIPAA compliant and that member data is fully encrypted.
Company messaging frames the founding rationale as helping providers overcome outdated systems and ongoing compliance requirements that divert time from direct support of people with IDD.
