Kivalio
Intelligent Family Directory

Every relative in view. Supercharged with AI.

Retire the outdated spreadsheets and chaotic group chats. Kivalio pairs self-sovereign family records with cutting-edge AI to make organizing your family effortless, private, and joyful.

AI Import & Sync

Bring your messy spreadsheet. Keep it synced over time.

Upload Excel files, CSVs, PDFs, Word documents, or photos of address books. AI extracts every person and matches them against existing family records.

  • Multi-format ingestion: Drop up to five files at once—spreadsheets, scans, documents, or photos of written lists.
  • Record matching & deduplication: Matches recorded names and aliases, using birthdays and contact details to help distinguish people who share a name.
  • Conflict resolution: Side-by-side row comparison lets you merge records or set wrong matches aside with one tap.

AI Update

Paste messy texts and emails. AI handles the diffs.

No more clicking through multiple screens and forms to update an apartment number. Paste forwarded emails, holiday updates, or group chat texts directly into AI Update.

  • Automatic entity extraction: Extracts names, addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, and relationship changes in seconds.
  • Visual diff review: Changes are clearly labeled as New, Replaces, or Recorded with clear before-and-after values.
  • Audit trail & rollback: Review with individual checkmarks before applying. Every change is recorded in Access History with instant 1-click revert.

AI chat with your data

Ask anything about your family in plain English.

Tired of searching through message histories or asking your parents who lives where? Ask natural conversational questions directly from your gallery header.

  • Kinship-aware reasoning: Understands complex relations like “Who are Grandma Ruth's great-grandkids?” or “Mom's second cousins”.
  • Verified record citations: Every answer links directly to verified family profiles and life events, never inventing facts.
  • Zero-retention privacy: Queries are ephemeral. Closing the chat clears conversation history, and data is never used to train AI models.
