About askKira
Secure AI, built in Manchester.
askKira is an AI developer in Manchester, UK.

Every product runs on the same UK-hosted platform, and customer data is never used to train an AI model.

How we got here
One platform. Then a portfolio.
Founded in Manchester
Set up by Mark Unwin, Seth Shenbanjo and Lady Lorna Stockwood to give organisations a way to use AI without giving anything away. Staff were already pasting sensitive work into free tools, so we built the secure platform that made the safe option the easy one.
