about
Hi, I’m Kinov.
I hack gadgets with AI, and I’m building a community where you can too.
The idea
Lots of great hardware ships with software that holds it back. I partner with the makers, use AI to rebuild their firmware so it’s faster and built to be extended, then open it up so you can add your own features.
Build with your own AI
I package what I learned into AI skills: ready-made instructions your own AI coding assistant can follow. With them you can create lighting effects, macros, and screen widgets without being a firmware expert.
Share what you make
The best hacks will come from the community. Build something cool, share it, and it can be featured here for everyone to download, with full credit to you.
First device
The SKYLOONG GK104Pro, a mechanical keyboard with a built-in screen. My first hack turns its lighting into an Apple Music visualizer with synced lyrics on the screen. More hackable gadgets are coming.
Build in public
I film every hack as I build it, bugs and dead ends included, and post it on YouTube and X.
Partner-with-makers model
- I work directly with manufacturers, not around them.
- Hacked products sold here are made in partnership with the original maker.
- Where the maker agrees, I help open-source their firmware so the community can build on it.
Contact
Makers, collaborators, press, and customers can email kinov2027@gmail.com.
