One app · any car
A voice assistant for your car that needs no built-in screen, no install and no gadgets. Drop your phone in the mount, open Kanneko, and just talk: it answers out loud through your own car speakers.
No menus. No setup. Three simple ways to talk to Kanneko while you drive.
Tap the big cat's face to start talking, or type a message or send a voice note. Whatever's easiest on the road.
Directions, a song, a reminder, a quick question, just say it naturally, like talking to a friend in the passenger seat.
Kanneko answers in your language through your car speakers. Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel.
Each one is a single sentence away. Say it out loud and keep your eyes on the road.
Ramble it all out. It keeps the parts that matter.
Try saying: “Okay so, I start at six tomorrow, the car needs an oil change, and I owe Mike twenty bucks.”
Speak Spanish, hear Spanish. Switch whenever you want.
Try saying: “Can we switch to Spanish?”
Say it once and stop carrying it in your head.
Try saying: “Remind me to call my mom at three.”
Ask for a vibe and it puts it on.
Try saying: “Play something for a long stretch.”
Tire pressure, a word in Spanish, a quick meal between rides.
Try saying: “What should my tire pressure be?”
Your usual stops, your shift, what you like. Sharper every week.
Try saying: “You know my Friday, right?”
Flat tire, warning light, low charge. Calm, one step at a time.
Try saying: “A warning light just came on.”
Tap a question. Kanneko turns it into a plan you can act on between rides.
And on the road you don't type at all, you just ask out loud.
Built for Uber, Lyft, delivery, trucking and transit drivers. Ask out loud for your reminders, your music or just some company, and keep your eyes on the road. Launching soon on iOS & Android. Claim your spot before your area fills up.

No dashboard, no menus. You talk, it answers through your own car speakers, from the first trip to the last.

Peter
Pickup

Peter: Say less. Something steady for the next hour.
Rosa
Electric
You: I think I've got a flat. I've never changed a tire.

Otto
Sedan
You: Hour nine. I'm running on empty.
Otto: Then let's talk. Tell me the best thing that happened today, I'll ride with you till your break.
You, hour 9"Long night. Talk to me about something."
"Here's what I found on the web."
"Nine hours, huh? Tell me the best ride you had tonight. I'm here until you clock out."
Three AI companions, each with their own voice. Tap one to meet them.
“Breathe. One thing at a time, and we get you home.”
Absolutely. Kanneko is built for people who spend hours on the road. You use it by voice, so your eyes stay on the road. It keeps you company on long shifts, and remembers addresses and reminders so nothing slips between trips.
We're rolling out on iOS & Android by region. Joining the waitlist puts you first in line for early access the moment it opens in your area.
Siri sets a timer. Kanneko holds a conversation. It remembers what you told it last shift, it follows a train of thought instead of resetting after every command, and it answers in full sentences through your car speakers. Think of the difference between a remote control and a passenger.
That's what it's for. You can talk to Kanneko the way you'd talk to someone in the passenger seat: about the shift, the news, your plans, or nothing in particular. It answers back, asks things, and picks up where you left off yesterday.
Kanneko detects your language automatically and replies in the same one, and you can switch languages anytime, even mid-conversation. Speak Spanish, get Spanish.
You don't need either. Kanneko runs on your phone and speaks through your car's Bluetooth or speaker, so it works the same in a 2008 sedan and in a new EV. If you already use CarPlay or Android Auto, Kanneko sits alongside it.
No. There is no background or always-on listening: the microphone opens when you tap and closes when you stop talking. Your audio is transcribed in transit and never stored on our servers, and your conversation history stays on your own phone. Memory is optional: if you turn it on, Kanneko saves only the facts it should remember, and you can see or delete them anytime. Details in ourPrivacy Policy.
That's the whole point. You ask out loud and Kanneko answers through your car speakers, so you keep your eyes on the road instead of looking down to type.
No. Just your phone and your car's Bluetooth. Kanneko speaks through your existing car speakers.
