Kai 9000 is an open-source, cross-platform AI assistant built with Kotlin Multiplatform that runs on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Web. It offers persistent memory, autonomous background heartbeats, tool execution, MCP server support, and fully offline on-device inference with Gemma 4.

Use cases

run a private AI assistant fully offline on my phone
chat with an AI that remembers facts across conversations
use an open-source OpenClaw alternative on Android and iOS
connect an assistant to MCP servers and tools like web search and calendar
run Gemma locally on Android without an API key
configure multiple LLM providers with automatic fallback
let an AI assistant run scheduled background self-checks and notify me

When to choose

you want a privacy-focused, local-first assistant with encrypted on-device storage
you need one assistant app across mobile, desktop, and web
you want on-device inference with no API key or cost
you need tool execution, MCP support, and persistent memory in a mobile assistant

When to avoid

you need a server-side or team-deployed assistant with shared accounts
you require fine-grained agent orchestration or custom agent pipelines beyond a personal assistant
you need provider features not covered by OpenAI-compatible or native Gemini APIs
