Kip runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 65 installs a week from npm. Last commit 26 Oct 2026.
Knowledge Graphs to enable memory persistence, knowledge evolution, explainable interaction.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Kip every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
