FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kami?
Kami is a real-world discovery app that helps you find nearby people, places, and events worth showing up for.
Why does Kami ask for my Instagram?
Kami uses your Instagram handle to understand lightweight public social context, so nearby people feel less random and easier to connect with.
How does Kami know who’s around me?

Kami may notify you when someone nearby seems relevant or interesting. You can also browse the app directly to discover nearby people, places, and events.
