Everything fair to ask

Three things you probably already have: a Google account (for sign-in and Drive), a Claude account on any plan including the free one, and about two minutes. There's no app to install and no forms to fill.

Only Claude is supported today — on web, desktop, and mobile. ChatGPT and other assistants are not supported yet; support for others is on the roadmap.

Three steps: sign in with Google, allow Kenva a single Drive folder, then paste your personal Kenva link into Claude as a custom connector. The setup guide walks through each step with screenshots-level detail, and the how it works page explains what's happening under the hood.

It's your MCP connector URL — the address Claude uses to reach your Kenva account. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard created by Anthropic that lets Claude safely use outside tools. Adding your link gives Claude exactly two new abilities: save a note about a person, and look a person up. Nothing else. More on this in how it works.

No. If you can paste a link into a settings page, you can set up Kenva. After that there's no interface to learn at all — you just talk to Claude the way you already do.

Just mention them naturally: "Met Dana at the conference — she runs a bakery in Austin." Claude recognizes it's worth remembering and files it. No commands, no forms, no special syntax.

Yes, and it's one of the best ways to start. Paste a thread and say "save what you learn about the people in this." Claude pulls out who they are, what they care about, and how they write, then remembers it for every future draft. It all lands in your Drive, in files you can read and edit yourself.

On your phone, yes — snap a photo of the card in the Claude app and say "add this person to Kenva." Claude reads the card and files the contact.

Absolutely — that's the point. They're plain text files in the Kenva Contacts folder of your Drive. Open them, correct them, add to them, print them. Claude picks up whatever's there the next time it looks someone up.

No. Kenva reads whatever is in the folder at the moment Claude asks. Edit a note and Claude sees the edited version; delete one and that person is simply forgotten. There's no hidden database to fall out of sync with.

It's available in any chat where the Kenva connector is toggled on (via the "+" menu in the chat box). Claude usually brings Kenva in on its own when you mention people; you can also ask it explicitly ("check Kenva for Sarah").

No — every plan includes unlimited contacts and notes. The files are tiny text files, so they won't make a dent in your Drive storage either.

Yes. The connector is attached to your Claude account, not a device — set it up once and it works on Claude web, desktop, and mobile automatically.

Only the files it creates, inside the Kenva Contacts folder. That's the narrowest Drive permission Google offers. Your documents, photos, and everything else are technically invisible to Kenva.

No. Notes pass through Kenva's server in memory to complete each request — saving or recalling — and are not retained afterward. The only long-term data on our side is your sign-in email, account status, and one encrypted Drive credential. The full inventory is in the Privacy Policy.

No. We don't train any AI model on your notes — not Claude, not anything else. Each note is only handed over for that one reply, then set aside.

Two clicks, no conversation with us required: revoke Kenva's access from your Google account's third-party connections page, and remove the connector in Claude's settings. Your files stay in your Drive either way. If you also want your account record deleted, email kenvaapp@gmail.com.

Everything Kenva ever saved is plain text sitting in your own Drive. It stays readable, editable, and yours, with or without us. That's the point of how it's built.

By design. One proves who you are (Google sign-in); the other grants access to one Drive folder and nothing else. Keeping them separate means each can be revoked independently, and neither gives Kenva your password. The how it works page shows the whole picture.

Every plan starts with a 5-week free trial, no card required. After that it's a single one-time payment: $19 for the first 200 founding members, $29 for the next 400, and $49 standard once the early seats are gone. No subscription, ever.

Nothing scary. Kenva simply stops responding inside Claude, and Claude tells you why. Your notes stay untouched in your Drive. Pay once whenever you're ready and everything picks up where it left off.

One payment covers the life of the product, all future updates included, no recurring fees ever. And because your notes never leave your Drive, even the worst case costs you nothing but the price of a dinner.

There's nothing to cancel — no subscription, no renewal. Stop using Kenva whenever you like; your files stay in your Drive. If you want your account deleted too, one email does it: kenvaapp@gmail.com.

Each account is tied to one Google Drive and one person's contacts, so accounts are individual. If you'd like Kenva for a team, tell us about your setup — it helps us shape what we build next.

Three things fix most of it: check that the URL you pasted matches your personal link exactly (no trailing spaces), make sure Kenva is toggled on for the current chat via the "+" menu, and if it still won't connect, remove the connector and add it again — Claude doesn't let you edit one in place. Still stuck? Email kenvaapp@gmail.com and we'll sort it out.

This occasionally happens if you'd granted access before and are reconnecting. Go to your Google account's third-party connections, remove Kenva, then run the connection again from the start page — Google will show the consent screen fresh and issue the long-term access Kenva needs.

Check that Kenva is toggled on for that conversation ("+" menu → Connectors). If it is, just be a touch more explicit the first time — "save Dana to Kenva" — and Claude gets the hint for the rest of the chat.

Best to leave the folder where Kenva created it. If things have gotten confused, the simplest fix is to reconnect from the start page; your existing files stay safe in your Drive regardless.

Visit the start page while signed in — it shows your current connection status. If you're connected, it sends you straight to the setup guide with your personal link.
