What is KOVA?

KOVA is an AI-powered connected platform for vehicles, providing an intelligent digital identity and private, secure communication between vehicle owners and the physical world.

Every day, vehicles encounter real-world friction: blocked driveways, accidental bumps, parking disputes, headlights left on, or unauthorized towing. Traditionally, vehicle owners faced an uncomfortable choice: either display a handwritten personal phone number publicly on the windscreen (inviting spam, harassment, and privacy violations) or leave the car completely unreachable.

KOVA solves this by replacing unprotected phone numbers with an intelligent, privacy-first connected interface.


The KOVA Ecosystem

KOVA operates as a unified ecosystem of physical hardware, mobile applications, cloud relay infrastructure, and autonomous AI.

Key Components

1. The Physical Layer: KOVA Tag

The KOVA Essential Tag is a durable, UV-resistant, and weatherproof identity interface mounted to the inside of your vehicle's windscreen. Embedded with high-resolution optical QR and passive NFC technology, it allows anyone nearby to initiate contact simply by tapping or scanning with any modern smartphone.

2. The Guest Experience: Zero App Required

When a passerby, parking attendant, or fellow driver scans your tag, they are greeted by a fast, clean mobile web interface on their browser. They do not need to install an app, create an account, or reveal their contact details to reach you.

3. The Intelligence Layer: KOVA Assistant & Connect

  • KOVA Assistant: An autonomous AI agent that screens visitor requests, collects critical details (such as a blocked gate or open window), and asks for your consent before placing a live call.

  • KOVA Connect: A telecom-grade anonymous audio relay layer that bridges phone calls between you and the visitor without exposing either party's personal phone number.

4. Owner Control Hubs

  • KOVA Mobile App (Android): Your primary mobile command center. Receive immediate push notifications, manage default vehicles, toggle communication channels, and reach dedicated customer support.

  • KOVA Watch App (Wear OS): A standalone smartwatch companion that puts tag control on your wrist. Instantly check your vehicle's active status and pause or resume your tag with a single tap.

  • KOVA Web Dashboard: A comprehensive desktop portal to manage up to 5 vehicles on a single subscription, monitor relay minutes, view activity timelines, and manage billing.


Core Privacy & Security Guarantees

  • Zero Public Phone Numbers: Your personal phone number is never printed on the tag, displayed in the scanner app, or revealed during phone calls.

  • Consent-First Communication: A visitor cannot force an immediate direct call to your phone. KOVA Assistant screens the caller first and requires your explicit approval before bridging the audio.

  • Independent Channel Controls: You can independently turn on or off Direct Calls, AI Calls, WhatsApp alerts, and SMS relays for each of your vehicles.

  • Anti-Solicitation Policy: KOVA maintains strict zero-tolerance policies against telemarketing, promotional robocalls, and unsolicited advertising.
