Kyten is a Y Combinator-backed aerospace battery pack manufacturer founded by SpaceX and Shield AI veterans. They provide turn-key design, qualification, and manufacturing of custom aerospace-grade battery packs for commercial and defense applications, enabling rapid production at scale.
Speed and scale for aerospace-grade battery packs—delivering custom, safe battery solutions in weeks instead of years, backed by a team that deployed 6,000+ packs to orbit at SpaceX.
AI Visibility Score
Kyten has an AI visibility score of 19/100, rated as invisible. This score reflects how often and how prominently Kyten appears in responses from AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
AI Perception Summary
Kyten is currently a ghost in the AI-driven aerospace ecosystem, failing to appear in 100% of critical queries for custom battery development and thermal design. While incumbents like Saft and EaglePicher dominate the technical landscape, Kyten’s only significant foothold is with Defense Prime Procurement Leads on limited platforms, leaving the high-growth NewSpace and eVTOL markets entirely to competitors.
Strengths
- Secured a 27% mention rate with the Defense Prime Procurement Lead persona, suggesting existing recognition in traditional defense circles.
- Maintains perfect visibility (100%) and positive sentiment during direct brand searches ('vibe checks') across ChatGPT, Claude, and AI Overviews.
- Highest organic traction occurs on Gemini (17%), where the brand is beginning to surface for mass production and rapid development queries.
Visibility Gaps
- Total absence (0%) from ChatGPT and AI Overviews for all functional and technical aerospace queries.
- Zero visibility among The Rapid-Growth NewSpace CTO and eVTOL Systems Architect personas, missing the fastest-growing segments of the industry.
- Failure to appear in high-intent searches regarding 'custom battery packs' and 'thermal control systems' where technical specifications are the primary driver.
