What is Kindo?

Kindo is the AI-native automation platform built for technical operations. We equip SecOps, DevOps, and ITOps teams with intelligent agents that move beyond alerts and summaries into real, autonomous execution.

With Kindo, operators do not just detect problems. They resolve them through policy-aware, human-in-the-loop agents that can remediate vulnerabilities, enforce IAM policies, trace incidents, and harden cloud environments.

At the core is Deep Hat, Kindo’s proprietary LLM tuned for real infrastructure and threat behavior. Agents execute tasks based on operator intent, not rigid playbooks or chatbot prompts, and adapt in real time as conditions change.

Kindo integrates into your existing environment without major rewiring. From day one, agents can triage uptime issues, validate CVEs, patch infrastructure, and orchestrate cross-tool workflows. Universal MCP connectors let agents read and write across your stack, inspect logs, reconfigure infrastructure, or execute threat hunts, all from a single command.

Who is Kindo Built For?

Kindo is designed for technical professionals working in DevOps, SecOps, and ITOps who are in charge of workflows to secure and manage their organization. This documentation typically refers to these individuals as Kindo Users as they typically engage in activities such as:

  • Communicating with LLMs manually for tasks, such as completing incident responses or root cause analyses.  

  • Creating and managing agents that automate workflows used by themselves or others.

  • Communicating with Kindo-managed agents or LLMs via APIs.

Because of Kindo’s focus on the enterprise, and the frequent sensitivity of data used within Kindo, there is typically another type of operator that exists to protect and manage Kindo Users. They are known as Kindo Administrators (or simply Admins). Admins are given powers within Kindo to ensure user and agentic workflows within Kindo operate according to their organization’s governance, security, and compliance requirements. Admins typically use Kindo to:

  • Manage how Users and User Groups have access to/capabilities within resources: Large Language Models (LLMs), Integrations, etc.

  • Manage how Users and User Groups have access to/capabilities within agents.

  • Enforce the use of Secrets Managers and/or prescribe Data Loss Prevention (DLP) filters to protect data privacy.

  • Manage Users and User Groups within their organization.  

  • For Self-Managed Kindo, deploy and manage the Kindo platform within self-managed infrastructure.

Kindo Versions

There are two versions of Kindo available:

  • Kindo SaaS: This is a version of Kindo hosted by Kindo and provided as a SaaS offering to its customers.

  • Kindo Self-Managed: This is a version of Kindo that is self-hosted and self-managed by a customer within their own cloud and/or on-prem environment. It is designed to ensure customers can deploy Kindo and its logging/security infrastructure using wholly self-managed resources, ensuring maximum privacy for Kindo chats and agents as well as enabling the use of automation within Kindo to interact with data/systems contained in self-managed environments and VPCs.
