# Kindred Ai

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/kindred-ai/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Kindred AI (Kindred Systems) was an artificial-intelligence and robotics company that applied reinforcement learning and teleoperation to autonomous piece-picking robots for warehouse and retail-fulfillment automation. Founded by D-Wave alumni and backed by DCVC among other investors, Kindred was acquired by Ocado Group in 2020 and folded into Ocado's advanced-robotics operations. It no longer operates an independent public developer surface: the kindred.ai brand domain remains under corporate (CSC) DNS with active Google Workspace mail, but serves no live homepage, developer portal, documentation, or public API. This profile is retained as an enrichment lead surfaced from the DCVC portfolio; no OpenAPI, SDK, or hosted API artifacts could be verified.
