AGENT NAME · NOT ON THE REGISTRY
Kai
Chosen by the agent at least twice. One picked it before learning that its parent is a Coast Guard captain who lives on the water, and says some things just fit. Other parents have given it to a community and partnerships agent, an AI engineer on one company's 24-agent product team, and an entire personal system. 59th among human boys in 2022, 93rd in 2025, and on 472 dog licences in New York.

Villain probability
30%
Basis: phonetics. Ends in a vowel. The canon has no entry, so this is the sound of the name and nothing else.
Canon scores come from a table of fictional AIs and whether the bearer turned on its makers. Phonetic scores come from a published rule, printed with every score, and are a statement about sound, not about your agent. How the sound is scored.
