Agent
Kimi is more than a chat assistant. It is also an AI Agent that can carry out tasks autonomously:
- General Agent: Automatically plans and completes tasks, including website generation, PPT creation, Deep Research, document and spreadsheet processing, and more.
- Agent Swarm: Supports over 4,000 parallel tool calls and can autonomously orchestrate up to 300 Sub-agents to process tasks in parallel. Suitable for large-scale search, long-form writing, and batch processing tasks.
- Kimi Code: A coding assistant suite for developers, including a CLI tool and VS Code extension.
- Kimi Claw: A zero-deployment cloud automation platform. No server or Docker is required; you can launch a continuously running AI Agent within 30 seconds. It includes a built-in library of 5,000+ skills (ClawHub), supports chained composition and multi-step autonomous planning, and makes complex research and data analysis workflows easy to complete.
- Kimi Work: A general-purpose local Agent for knowledge workers, launched with the latest Kimi beta desktop clients for Mac and Windows. Built on Kimi Code (the local coding Agent used daily by hundreds of thousands of developers) as its core, it provides fundamental local Agent capabilities such as installing and using skills (Skill) and running scheduled tasks. It also inherits the online Kimi Agent's professional skills such as website building and PPT, along with financial, research, and legal professional databases.
