What are Kordies?
Updated 9 November 2026
Kordies are 66 collectable versions of Kordy, the orange robot mascot in Kords. They unlock as you dictate, and they never interrupt your writing.
Three kinds of Kordie
- Words. Lifetime word milestones. Examples: The Haiku Poet at 12 words, The Bard at a Shakespeare sonnet (110 words), The Adventurer at The Hobbit (95,000 words).
- Specials. Moments such as The Night Owl when you dictate between midnight and 5am, streaks, and seasonal ones.
- Skills. Trying features, so the Collection is also a gentle tour. Examples: The Globetrotter for translation, The Parrot for Word for word, The Librarian for your own dictionary.
How you unlock them
Dictate as normal. When you hit a milestone, a new Kordie arrives in your Collection. Your Collection progress (counts and names only) syncs with your account; your audio and transcripts are never stored.
Why they exist
Dictating should be something you want to come back to. Kordies celebrate how much you have written, without changing what you said.
