Welcome to the Kaiko Developer Docs — your gateway to building emotionally intelligent AI systems. Kaiko provides an EQ+ layer that bridges LLMs and agents, enabling them to detect emotions, adapt responses, and maintain emotional memory across interactions.
V2 introduces 6 EQ dimensions (intensity, valence, arousal, complexity, wonderIndex, discoveryLevel), trajectory tracking, growth insights, and conversation mode detection. V1 will be sunset on March 31, 2026.
