About askKira
Secure AI, built in Manchester.
askKira is an AI developer in Manchester, UK. We build secure AI products for schools, trusts and organisations: our own, and with partners who bring the expertise, knowledge and intellectual property. Every product runs on the same UK-hosted platform, and customer data is never used to train an AI model.
