Frequently Asked Questions

No. Kinva is a thinking tool, not a clinical service. It’s designed to help you reflect, process, and think out loud — not to diagnose or treat. If you’re in crisis, please contact a mental health professional.

Kinva is built around a matched thought partner model. Rather than a general-purpose AI, your thought partner is selected based on how you think and what you need. The conversations are designed to be reflective and grounded, not transactional.

Yes. Your conversations are stored securely and never shared with third parties. We don’t sell your data or use it to train AI models. You can delete your account and all data at any time from Settings.

Kinva has seven distinct thought partners, each with a unique thinking style: The Architect (structure), The Anchor (grounding), The Spark (energy), The Visionary (big picture), The Explorer (curiosity), The Empath (emotional processing), and The Sage (depth). You’re matched based on a short survey.

Yes. You can explore and switch to a different thought partner at any time from your Settings page. Your conversation history is preserved.

Kinva is currently free to use during our early access period. We’ll communicate any changes well in advance.

You take a short 10-question survey about how you think, what you need, and what kind of support would help most. We use your responses to calculate a trait profile and match you with the thought partner whose style fits best.

Yes! Kinva is a progressive web app (PWA). You can add it to your home screen on iOS or Android for a native app-like experience. Just open it in Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android) and follow the install prompt.
