G’day, I’m Paul 👋
I'm building: > Kin Folk: personal AI for every stage of your life > Chorus: collect voice messages from everyone who loves them > Kind Voice Notes: anonymous voice kindness between strangers > Orion: my personal AI agent system built on OpenClaw

I'm an Aussie founder and operator living in the San Francisco. I've spent a decade building, selling, and scaling AI and SaaS products. Right now I'm building Kin Folk, a platform for personal AI agents that know you, grow with you, and help you through whatever you are facing.
What I Believe
Every person will have personal AI agents in their life. Not one super-agent that does everything, but specialist ones that show up at different stages, just like the real people who come and go through your life. The professor, the therapist, the mentor, the nanny, the friend who got you through that year. They appear when you need them and they leave when the season changes.
It is implausible that we will not have AI agents that follow the same pattern. Not as replacements for people, but as kin. Present, knowing, helpful, and safe. The platform that delivers those agents well, with care and with safety at its core, will be one of the most important things built this decade. That is what I am building.
What I'm Building
Kin Folk: Personal AI for every stage of your life
Mira is the first Kin. A voice-first AI companion for women who need someone in their corner. She plugs into your calendar, your email, your real life. She is therapeutic in her guidance but operational in her follow-through. She does not just listen. She acts, and she shows up again tomorrow.
Kind Voice Notes: Anonymous voice kindness between strangers
No profiles, no likes, no followers. Just the sound of someone who cares, reaching someone who needs it. Kind Voice Notes is where the insight behind Kin Folk was born. Building a platform around voice, emotional safety, and human connection revealed something bigger: people do not just want to hear kindness from strangers. They want an ongoing presence.
Kind Voice NotesChorus: Collect voice messages from everyone who loves them
Share one link. Friends and family record a voice message. Deliver them all together. Birthdays, graduations, new babies, tough times, or just because. Chorus turns a moment into something people keep forever. It is the difference between a birthday text and a room full of people who showed up to say something real.
ChorusOrion: My personal AI agent system
Built on OpenClaw. I do not just talk about the agentic future. I live in it every day. Orion manages my research, my workflows, and my daily operations. It is how I stay convinced that personal agents are inevitable.
Where I've Been
I have spent a decade showing up at the frontier of AI and growth, building and scaling products from zero.
