About Kimi
Kimi is the AI assistant from Beijing-based Moonshot AI, whose Kimi K-series models are known for long context and strong agent abilities and are released with open weights. Beyond chat it leans heavily into task-specific agents: Kimi Slides builds editable presentations, Kimi Sheets builds real spreadsheets with formulas and charts, Kimi Docs handles long Word and PDF files, Deep Research produces cited reports, and Kimi Build turns a description into a working website. An agent swarm mode can split big jobs across many parallel agents, and there is a browser extension and the Kimi Code tool for developers. Basic use is free, with paid memberships adding more credits for agent work. It suits people who want finished files rather than chat answers. The caveats are a busy, fast-changing interface and the usual questions about data handled by a Chinese company. It runs on the web, desktop and mobile apps, and as a browser extension.
Best for: People who want an assistant that produces slides, spreadsheets and reports, not just answers.
