We analyse optical datacubes of the inner kiloparsec of 30 local ($z\le0.02$)active galactic nuclei (AGN) hosts that our research group, AGNIFS, hascollected over the past decade via observations with the integral field unitsof the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrographs. Spatial resolutions range between$50~{\rm pc}$ and $300~{\rm pc}$ and spectral coverage is from$4800~\mathring{A}$ or $5600~\mathring{A}$ to $7000~\mathring{A}$, at velocityresolutions of $\approx 50~{\rm km~s^{-1}}$. We derive maps of the gasexcitation and kinematics, determine the AGN ionisation axis -- which hasrandom orientation relative to the galaxy, and the kinematic major axes of theemitting gas. We find that rotation dominates the gas kinematics in most cases,but is disturbed by the presence of inflows and outflows. Outflows have beenfound in 21 nuclei, usually along the ionisation axis. The gas velocitydispersion is traced by $W_{80}$ (velocity width encompassing 80 per cent ofthe line flux), adopted as a tracer of outflows. In 7 sources $W_{80}$ isenhanced perpendicularly to the ionisation axis, indicating lateral expansionof the outflow. We have estimated mass-outflow rates $\dot{M}$ and powers$\dot{E}$, finding median values of$\log\,[\dot{M}/({\rm\,M_\odot\,yr^{-1}})]=-2.1_{-1.0}^{+1.6}$ and$\log\,[\dot{E}/({\rm\,erg\,s^{-1}})]=38.5_{-0.9}^{+1.8}$, respectively. Bothquantities show a mild correlation with the AGN luminosity ($L_{\rm AGN}$).$\dot{E}$ is of the order of 0.01 $L_{\rm AGN}$ for 4 sources, but much lowerfor the majority (9) of the sources, with a median value of$\log\,[\dot{E}/L_{\rm AGN}]=-5.34_{-0.9}^{+3.2}$ indicating that typicaloutflows in the local Universe are unlikely to significantly impact their hostgalaxy evolution.
