KAI Beta, starting in ThailandSpin the planet. Land on one street.
KAI's map starts as the night side of Earth and dives down to the road you're on. Places people have added glow on it.
41,000
businesses already on the map, waiting for someone to claim them.
Stand there. Shoot it. It's yours.
Find a restaurant or a street cart, take live photos, and it goes on the map under your name. You get 10 points the moment you add it, and 600 more when another explorer confirms it in person.
That was a demo. In the app the points are real.
The people who show up first earn the most.
KAI is new, so the best spots are still unclaimed. Points are earned by doing real things in real places.
Put a real restaurant or street cart on the map.
Paid once another explorer confirms it in person. You get 10 the moment you add it.
Bring in a shop or restaurant that gets verified on KAI.
Invite a friend who verifies.
Verify your ID once and get your badge.
Confirm a place is still there, or share a moment.
Every like you receive, with no limit.
Get blocked for being a jerk.
Nobody earns from their couch.
You have to be standing there, and the photos are taken live. Climb from Traveler to Explorer, Pathfinder, Trailblazer and Local Legend. Every week the top three explorers win Premium. We're working toward spending points on real things, like a coffee or a day's bike rental.
Everything you do on X. Plus the part X can't do.

Your town has a room.
Everyone in town, one chat. Each message arrives in your own language, so a German can ask and a Thai local can answer.
Three feeds, no algorithm games.
See what's happening nearby, what the people you follow are up to, or the whole world. No outside ads.
Verified means a real ID.
The badge is free and proves a real person. Verified travelers can also message directly, post anonymously and join Meet. Get blocked for bad behavior and it costs you.
Run a place? Flip your account to business.
One account, two sides, like Instagram. Your personal profile stays yours. Switch over and you get a whole app for running your restaurant, cart, rental shop or boat.
Reach people nearby.
Travelers find you on the map and read your menu in their language. Post deals and events right into the local feed.
Photograph your menu.
KAI reads it, Thai or English, and fills in every dish and price. Check it, press add, and you're done.
Free to join.
No monthly fee. When bookings and orders switch on, KAI takes a flat, published 15% and nothing else.
Rent without getting ripped off.
Bikes, boats and drivers open as local shops join, and KAI is built around the problems travelers actually have.
Your passport stays with you.
Shops get proof you're verified without ever holding your documents. If a shop asks for your passport, one tap reports it.
Photos before you ride.
Shoot the bike at pickup and at return, so a scratch that was already there can't end up on your bill.
Talk in your own language.
Chat with the shop and each of you reads the other's messages translated. Cancellation rules are shown before you book.
KAI Premium.
Earn it with points or buy a one-time pass. Never a subscription. Posting, town rooms, translation, safety and your ID badge are always free.

On Android, you install KAI from our download page because it isn't on Google Play yet, and your phone will ask you to allow it. On iPhone, KAI runs in Safari with nothing to install.
