Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Kiosk (kiosk.app) operates Kiki, an AI assistant that users interact with entirely through text messaging. Rather than a standalone app, the product is reached by texting a US phone number, positioning the assistant inside the user's existing SMS conversations.

As presented on the company's site, Kiki handles calendar and scheduling work (rearranging meetings, blocking focus time, protecting personal appointments), task and commitment follow-through, product and price research, document review such as reading a consulting agreement and flagging mismatched non-compete and termination terms, drafting written communications from voice notes, and tracking personal metrics including workouts, sleep, calories and protein intake. It also supports multi-party group chats so several people can coordinate with the assistant together, with memory from a user's private thread stated not to carry over into shared chats.

Business model

Consumer-facing AI assistant accessed by texting a published phone number; the site describes the product and its onboarding step but does not state pricing terms.

▸Full profile — technology, go-to-market

Technology

The product is delivered through a conversational text-messaging interface backed by an AI assistant. Demonstrated capabilities include natural-language scheduling and calendar manipulation, persistent memory of a user's context and past commitments, product search with pricing and price-alert options, PDF document ingestion and contract-term analysis, voice-note-to-draft text generation, and logging and summarization of health and fitness data. Group chat sessions are described as isolated from an individual user's memory.

Go-to-market

Direct-to-consumer self-serve onboarding: prospective users start by texting the assistant's published phone number, with the site acting as the primary acquisition surface.

Individual consumers managing work commitments, personal appointments, purchases, contracts and health or fitness routines.
