Mission

Our mission is the responsible co-evolution of technology and humanity

Akin Assistive is part of a Public Benefit Corporation, Akin.com, which means we measure our success by our positive impact on society. We work towards a world where technology is a force for good, and helps us improve our lives every day. Technology should give us well being, meaningful connection with people we love, and mindful use of time and resources.

By first bringing our technology to individual homes, we will eventually extend these benefits to all of society and the world we live in. The other side of co-evolution is the AI itself.

Akin is a fully registered NDIS provider. View our NDIS Commission registration.

Akin is one of very few AI companies fully compliant with the NDIS code of conduct for ethical AI, and we were instrumental in lobbying for this code to be developed in 2022. See the NDIS announcement and the CSIRO and NDIA framework (PDF).

We are building advanced forms of technology with deep empathy and the ability to solve complex problems.

The word 'aKin' has dual meanings which reflects this co-evolution. aKin means “to be like something” and “to be part of the family”.

We are building technology that grows in capability to take on more advanced human workloads, and is a trusted and empathic part of the family.

Building a future with more free time and wellbeing

Our desire is to have a thoughtful footprint on this earth, and live a life filled with richer experiences and less frantic consumption.
