Kana

Kana is an agentic AI growth and marketing platform that helps brands discover high-precision audiences, optimize acquisition efficiency, and stay visible across AI-driven discovery environments such as LLM answer engines, search copilots, and autonomous agents. Founded by martech veterans Tom Chavez and Vivek Vaidya (previously Rapt, acquired by Microsoft, and Krux, acquired by Salesforce) and incubated in the super{set} startup studio, Kana raised a $15M seed round led by Mayfield in February 2026. The platform orchestrates specialized AI agents that reason over customer data, plan multi-step workflows, and recommend next-best actions across a suite of purpose-built applications: Campaign Orchestrator, Marketing Intelligence, Personalization, Synthetic Data Generation, Media Proposal Generator, Category Intelligence, Audience Builder, OmniChannel Media Planner, and an Agentic Data Platform. Proprietary just-in-time data integration connects to existing CRM, CDP, marketing-automation, and data-warehouse systems without disruptive infrastructure changes, keeping a human-in-the-loop review step. Kana publishes no public developer API at this time; this profile captures its public identity, legal/compliance posture, and discovery 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

API Evangelist profiles Kana the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

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 — Kana scores 11.7/100 (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.

How we profile Kana

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kana. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
