Autonomous assistant designed to handle meetings and email
Kai is an AI executive assistant for solopreneurs, freelancers and startup founders. It works across your email, calendar and tasks: it triages your inbox and drafts replies, schedules around your availability, records and transcribes your meetings, then turns them into summaries and action items. Workflows run in the background, and Kai hands tasks to Claude or ChatGPT with the context of the meeting or email they came from. Web, desktop and mobile. Product Hunt sign-ups get 2x trial credits.
Today we’re launching Kai, and I want to share a bit about why we built it.
Every founder and team lead has two jobs!
We’ve spent more than five years in productivity building Morgen, and we kept hearing the same thing from founders and team leads. They all juggle two jobs:
The job they were hired to do
Everything around it: managing coordination across people, the back-and-forth, jumping between calls, scheduling meetings, answering emails, chasing people
The second job quietly eats the first one. We built Kai for the second job.
Why now
AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT get more capable every month. But they still wait for you to ask, and they don’t really know you. They don’t see the promise you made on Tuesday’s call, the reply you’re still waiting on, or the clash hiding in next week’s calendar. That context lives in your meetings, your email and your calendar, and that’s exactly where Kai works.
Honestly, I’m sick of hearing about CLIs, MCPs and connected workflows. I just wanted to build an extremely simple, delightful personal assistant that gives people back hours every day, without asking them to become prompt engineers.
AI deserves a real interface
I’m a big UI and UX nerd. Every AI product I’ve tried was either a chat bar stuck onto an existing app, or a plain chat with almost no interface. We set out to make Kai the first AI that gets both right: an agent you can talk to, and a UI that’s a joy to use.
So Kai doesn’t wait to be asked. It shows up with a question and a fix ready:
📩 “Jim wants to push the 2:00 investor call by 30 minutes. You’re free at 2:30. Should I move it and draft a reply?” One tap, and you press Send.
🎙️ You say “I’ll build the Q3 deck tonight” on a call, and it’s on your task list before you hang up, ready to hand to Claude with the meeting context attached.
☀️ You ask the same question every morning, and Kai offers to just brief you at 8 am instead.
Nothing goes out without you. Kai drafts; you press Send.
Where we’re going
This is day one. Over the next 12 months we’re doubling down on three things: making Kai more proactive, making the experience even more delightful, and expanding what it can take off your plate.
Try it today 🎁
Kai is free to start on Web, Mac, iPhone, and Android at hirekai.ai(every Product Hunter who signs up today gets 2x the trial credits!).
I’ll be here all day reading every comment, and I’d love to know: what’s the part of your “second job” you’d hand to Kai first? 👇

PS: A huge shoutout to our hundreds of beta users who've showered us with love and feedback over the last few months. We wouldn’t be here without you!

Who hunted Kai?
Kai was hunted by David Tedaldi. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.
