About Kin

Why rebuild the map every time?

Kin began with a frustration: people and AI keep working out how the same code fits together. We are building a way to keep more of that understanding with the code.

A question behind Kin.

When one part of a program changes, other parts may need checking. Kin keeps code, the connections it finds and their history together, so people and AI can ask about that work again.

Built at Firelock.

I'm Troy Fortin Jr, Kin's creator and Firelock's founder. I shipped production generative-AI systems before this; the alpha is what I've built since, and I'm working toward daily use with developers and teams.

Public source. Work still ahead.

Kin is open source and in public alpha: you can try it now, with language and workflow limits. KinLab is the team product we are building on Kin, and is in development.

Bring a change worth understanding.

Try Kin on code you know, report a gap, or discuss a recurring team workflow.
