Kimi’s Moonshot AI Project Brings 300 AI Agents to Your Desktop

Moonshot AI has been released Kimi Work, a desktop assistant for macOS and Windows that sits on your computer, reads your files, runs your browser, and works on your schedule. The Beijing-based company – one of China’s so-called AI Tiger startups – announced the product this week along with a free download, with the software being tested internally.

The company’s WebBridge expansion, release a month ago, already allow agents to run your own version of Chrome or Edge locally. Kimi Work takes that idea and transforms it into a complete computer product.

His words are simple. Many AI tools from AI providers today reside in the cloud. You send a prompt, a server somewhere spins, a sandboxed browser clicks around, and you get results. Kimi Work does it differently.

Kimi Work, being a local program installed on your computer, can access local files and can connect to your computer instead. It can edit your PDFs, organize your computer, pull information from your browser, create a report in HTML and send it to you by email, and more.

In practice it is similar to what OpenClaw or Hermes try to do, but fully developed and integrated into the Kimi environment with unique features that other methods do not offer.

One of those features is Agent Swarm, which allows Kimi Work to move multiple sub-agents in a row—up to 300 of them, each doing a different job.

It is also integrated with WebBridge, which provides a real browser manager using the Chrome DevTools Protocol, which the same developers use for debugging; Your login settings and cookies stay on your machine.

The built-in Cron engine schedules jobs for daily, hourly, or regular triggers, with a “Keep Computer Alike” option to run overnight. And the local files layer allows the agent to read the folders you upload and run Python in the background.

The app also ships with market data for A-shares, Hong Kong stocks, and US equities combined – no API setup required. The final survey is converted directly to PowerPoint or Excel.

Under the hood, Kimi Work will continue Like K2.6according to those who have been there able to look. (We have to try it ourselves). K2.6 is an approximately one-trillion-parameter mix-of-experts model Moonshot released on April 20. The mix of experts is an architecture that only stores a fraction of its parameters at any given time; K2.6 runs about 32 billion per token while having a 256K-token window. (To clarify, tokens are the smallest piece of information that an AI can process while the fields are all numbers that store all the information and attributes that a brand has.)

The cognitive window is important: It means that the therapist can keep a large amount of information in mind during long, multi-dimensional processes without forgetting what they started.

If you doubt the nature of Kimi as an AI type, consider that this is the basis that was used by the famous AI editor to recreate his special language, “Composer 2.”

The misconception must be corrected first

“Local” in Kimi Work refers to where the action takes place – your machine – not where the AI ​​model runs. The K2.6 version description can pass through Moonshot’s API in the cloud, even when the file is read, the browser clicks, and the Python execution happens locally.

If you want full control over the hardware, the weights are available on Hugging Face under the Modified MIT License—but the trillion-parameter model requires large hardware that most home users don’t have.

The privacy picture is also much more than “protected by the local community.” Because WebBridge runs the actual browser you’re logged in to, it can access your bank account, your email, and your company’s internal resources. Researchers at UC Riverside warned in May that AI agents often operate without realizing whether their actions are dangerous — a behavior they call “blind goal control.”

Moonshot includes an “ask before you commit” feature that requires you to approve each file before it is changed or code is run. It’s the most accurate way to go, but it’s still not 100% safe.

The first battle in the era of agent AI

The competition for desktop assistants is very crowded. Anthropic’s Claude has provided access to desktop computing since the end of 2024. OpenAI released the Codex Background Computer Use for macOS in April 2026, running projects in parallel computing sessions. Google’s Gemini desktop application—from Project Mariner—focuses on the browser’s performance. Microsoft’s Copilot Studio added computing power in May 2026, aimed at business development and using both OpenAI and Anthropic models under the hood.

But it seems like instead of being constrained by one provider, users want flexibility. This is where tools like OpenClaw, Hermes, or NanoClaw come into play. These are native platforms that program your AI agents using any LLM on API.

The difference with Kimi Work is the original design that is included with the 300-agent team. Many competitors run everything in the sandbox – which cannot touch the parts they are logged into – or provide a desktop experience without similar support. Kimi Work does both. The tradeoff is this: When your laptop is shut down, work stops. Moonshot’s cloud product, Kimi Claw, runs 24/7 without your computer.

This app is free to download. Sponsor requirements require a paid plan. Moonshot’s Moderato tier starts at $19/month and includes K2.6, Deep Research, and Kimi Code access.

The Agent Swarm group with a few agents opens at Allegretto ($39/month), while a full group of 300 agents and advanced traffic requires Allegro ($99/month) or Vivace ($199/month) for those who actually they want 300 supporters.

Downloads for macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows are available kimi.com, it’s an internal testing phase meaning that some may be moved before the wider release.
