Release notes

  • First preview build of Kira: floating 3D companion, local AI via Ollama, bring-your-own-key cloud AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI-compatible), local memory, voice output with captions, optional on-device speech input, opt-in screenshots and permission-controlled actions.

Installation guide

  1. 1

    Download the installer

    Save the .exe from this page. Optionally verify it: open PowerShell in your Downloads folder and run Get-FileHash .\Kira_*_x64-setup.exe — the hash must match the SHA-256 above.

  2. 2

    Run it

    If SmartScreen appears for an unsigned build, choose “More info” → “Run anyway” only if the checksum matched. The installer is per-user and does not ask for admin rights.

  3. 3

    Pick local or cloud AI

    Local: install Ollama from ollama.com (Kira links you there, notices it within seconds, and starts it for you whenever it isn’t running). Cloud: paste your own API key; it is stored in Windows Credential Manager.

  4. 4

    Choose a model

    One click downloads the model Kira recommends for your RAM/VRAM, and she selects it for you. The download size is shown and nothing downloads until you confirm.

  5. 5

    Set voice and privacy

    Voice, screenshots, actions and proactive check-ins all start off or minimal. Turn on what you want.

  6. 6

    Say hi

    Kira appears on your desktop. Drag her anywhere. Ctrl+Alt+J opens chat, Ctrl+Alt+L toggles click-through, Ctrl+Alt+K shows/hides her.

System requirements

Minimum

OS
Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11, 64-bit (x64)
Runtime
Microsoft Edge WebView2 (preinstalled on Windows 11; the installer fetches it if missing)
Memory
8 GB RAM for small local models (1–3B). 4 GB is enough in cloud mode.
Graphics
Any GPU with WebGL 2 for the 3D avatar; integrated graphics are fine
Disk
Under 50 MB for Kira (estimate until the first release build), plus 1–4 GB per local model

Recommended for local AI

Memory
16 GB RAM
GPU
NVIDIA/AMD GPU with 4 GB+ VRAM for faster local replies (optional)
Extras
A current Ollama release for local mode (tested with 0.17.7); a microphone for voice input

Uninstalling

Use Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Kira → Uninstall. The uninstaller offers to delete Kira's app data too.

What stays unless you remove it:

  • Kira's data folder (%APPDATA%\app.kira.companion) if you didn't tick “delete app data”: settings, conversation history, memories, tasks.
  • API keys in Windows Credential Manager (entries named app.kira.companion). Remove them in Kira → AI settings before uninstalling, or in Control Panel → Credential Manager.
  • Ollama and its downloaded models — they belong to Ollama. Remove models with ollama rm <model> or uninstall Ollama.
  • The optional speech-recognition model cached by Kira's webview (removed together with the app data folder).
