Short answer

Can I control my Kisi locks with an AI?

Yes. You can command your AI to unlock specific doors, check the status of a lock, or trigger a facility-wide lockdown. This gives you direct control over physical security through your chat interface.

Where every action lands.

Security outcomes

Your AI translates your text into physical security actions.

ACCESS

Remote door unlocking

The AI sends a command to Kisi to open a specific door. You get immediate access without needing a physical key or mobile app.

SAFETY

Emergency lockdowns

If something goes wrong, tell your AI to lock everything down. It triggers a facility-wide lockdown across all connected Kisi locks.

STATUS

Real-time lock checks

Ask your AI if a door is locked or unlocked. It pulls the current state from your Kisi hardware.

HUMAN

Manual overrides

The AI cannot change your Kisi account permissions or user roles. You must manage those settings directly in the Kisi dashboard.

The workflow

What your AI does when you send a command.

The AI interprets your intent and calls the specific Kisi tool required to execute the physical action.

  1. Identify the lock

    The AI looks up the specific door or lock you mentioned to ensure it targets the right hardware.

    get_kisi_lock

  2. Open the door

    Once the lock is identified, the AI sends the signal to release the latch.

    unlock_kisi_lock

  3. Secure the site

    In an emergency, the AI instructs the system to engage all locks simultaneously.

  4. Confirm status

    The AI verifies the lock state to tell you if the command worked or if the door is currently secured.

FAQ

How the Kisi Connector behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI add new users to my Kisi account?

    No. The AI can only interact with locks. You must manage users and permissions in the Kisi dashboard.

  • 02

    Can I use the AI to create new lock schedules?

    No. The AI can trigger immediate actions like unlocking or lockdowns, but it cannot modify your programmed schedules.

  • 03

    Does the AI know which doors are in my building?

    Yes, the AI uses the lock data to identify the specific doors you mention in your prompts.

  • 04

    What happens if I give a vague command?

    If the AI cannot identify which lock you are talking about, it will ask you for clarification before taking any action.

  • 05

    Can the AI undo a lockdown?

    No. The lockdown tool is a one-way command to secure the facility. You must use your standard Kisi app or dashboard to revert settings.
