Kana is an agentic AI growth and marketing platform that helps brands discover high-precision audiences, optimize acquisition efficiency, and stay visible across AI-driven discovery environments such as LLM answer engines, search copilots, and autonomous agents. Founded by martech veterans Tom Chavez and Vivek Vaidya (previously Rapt, acquired by Microsoft, and Krux, acquired by Salesforce) and incubated in the super{set} startup studio, Kana raised a $15M seed round led by Mayfield in February 2026. The platform orchestrates specialized AI agents that reason over customer data, plan multi-step workflows, and recommend next-best actions across a suite of purpose-built applications: Campaign Orchestrator, Marketing Intelligence, Personalization, Synthetic Data Generation, Media Proposal Generator, Category Intelligence, Audience Builder, OmniChannel Media Planner, and an Agentic Data Platform. Proprietary just-in-time data integration connects to existing CRM, CDP, marketing-automation, and data-warehouse systems without disruptive infrastructure changes, keeping a human-in-the-loop review step. Kana ships no public developer portal, but its application host apps.kana.ai does expose a real callable surface: an OAuth 2.0 authorization server whose RFC 8414 metadata is served anonymously and declares MCP protocol 2025-03-26 with mcp:read / mcp:write / kana:read / kana:write scopes, plus a per-deployment MCP endpoint and an api-key-authenticated Skill API for running pipelines and retrieving their outputs. Everything but the OAuth metadata sits behind a 401, so this profile captures Kana's public identity, legal/compliance posture, authentication and scope model, and the shape of the gated API surface.
