What is KT (Knowledge Transfer)? Katy, explained
KT (Knowledge Transfer) is a personal AI audio briefing app. Every morning, an AI host named Katy reads you a briefing on the news and history you care about. You can interrupt her by voice with a question, she answers from real, cited web sources, and then she picks the briefing back up where she left off.
Who is Katy?
Katy is KT's default AI host: the voice that reads your briefing and answers your questions. She is not a person, and KT does not pretend otherwise. On the Plus and Pro plans you can change her name, her voice and her personality, from a dry newsreader to an enthusiastic history teacher.
What does a KT briefing sound like?
A briefing is a short spoken episode made of segments. Each segment is written from that morning's web searches on your topics and carries its own citations, so you can check where any claim came from. KT starts with two domains, news and history, because that is what it was built for.
If a segment catches your interest, say "deep dive" and KT's research agents build a full episode on it, ready for your next walk or run.
How is KT different from a regular podcast?
A podcast is recorded once for everyone and cannot hear you. A KT briefing is generated for you each day, and you can cut in mid-sentence to ask "wait, why?" Katy pauses, answers with sources, and resumes. The closest comparison is an AI-generated audio overview, which we cover in NotebookLM alternatives for daily listening.
Where does KT get its facts?
From live web searches. Any source that did not come back from a real search is dropped before Katy says a word. The full process is described in how KT keeps AI answers grounded in sources.
Why was KT built?
The founder was on a treadmill looking for a good video on US history and could not find one. KT is the answer to that problem: something that finds the sources for you, shows up every morning, and lets you talk back. If that sounds like your workouts, see how to learn history while working out.
