Anki

Anki, Inc. was a consumer robotics and artificial-intelligence company based in San Francisco, founded in 2010 and backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Index Ventures, and J.P. Morgan. It was known for the Cozmo and Vector companion robots and the Anki Drive / Overdrive robotic racing system, which combined computer vision, on-device AI, and mapping/navigation. Anki debuted at Apple's WWDC in 2013, shipped Cozmo in 2016 and Vector in 2018, and published first-party Python and C# SDKs so developers could program the robots over a local connection. Anki ceased operations in May 2019 and its assets were later acquired by Digital Dream Labs. This profile was surfaced as a portfolio company of a16z and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline; the robot SDKs remain the company's public developer surface.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

Anki is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Anki scores 8.7/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Anki is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
