Thanks Siqi for hunting us, and your incredible support since day one.
A year and a half ago, we started exploring a question: how can humans and AI collaborate? As someone who lives in Figma and whiteboards to organize my thoughts, our first attempt was simple: a canvas where you could place your files and your LLM convo cards. This allowed for a fluid way to connect, select, and combine information to interact with the models more freely.
After we launched, we were amazed to see users uploading a huge variety of file types, using the whiteboard as their primary space for reading and processing information. This pushed us to rapidly expand our file support and processing capabilities. Soon after, users began asking for a way to generate specific deliverables, like images, documents, and even web pages, based on their uploaded information. We quickly got to work to make that a reality.
Through this journey, our core mission became crystal clear: in an age of fragmented information, we want to provide a unified workspace. A place where you and your AI partner can process all your relevant information and create the exact outputs you need.
So with Kuse, our focus is to empower you to:
-> All Your Information: continuously expanding support for more file formats and data sources, bringing everything that matters to you into one place.
-> Intuitive UX: a unified, visual interface to combine and leverage your information (real-time team collab is also WIP!)
-> Smarter AI: to better understand your context, and current ideas and workflows
-> Wide Range of Outputs: docs, images, videos, web pages, and more, without switching between different tools
Even without spending a dime on marketing, we're humbled to have over 400 fast-moving teams and 200,000 top performers: educators, product managers, creatives, consultants, students, and writers, love Kuse.
I was fortunate to go through Y Combinator with a previous company (rct.ai, W19), where I learned one simple but profound lesson: "make something people want."
Your feedback, suggestions, and critiques are invaluable in helping us get closer to that goal.
Kusa has become my go-to tool for analyzing my clients' markets (startups and solo entrepreneurs). What used to take me 2 weeks of niche research now only takes 2-4 days.
The service saves me hours: I can extract key insights from hour-long podcasts in just 20 minutes using prompts, and consolidate data from multiple sources into a single summary.
Thanks to Kusa, I've cut my pitch deck creation time from 3 weeks down to 1 - my clients love the speed.
I'd love font customization - that's the only feature that would make me ditch my other tools completely.
Perfect for anyone working with entrepreneurs who values their time.
As a designer, I'm genuinely impressed! The library feature is a game changer. Being able to generate content only from my own materials solves the biggest problem with AI's unpredictability.
On top of that, the tool helps me visualize my own thinking process. You can really tell this was built by a team that deeply understands how designers think. Amazing job!
Great idea, abysmal execution.
The thing leaks its own system prompt after five messages. This isn't a product, it's a security vulnerability with a chat interface. Forget the marketing hype and the VC pitches. Get back to the drawing board and build something that isn't fundamentally broken.
