The outcome
Learn the interaction loop using a small task with a clear outcome.
Kimi is a multimodal AI assistant and autonomous agent from Moonshot AI. Long-context and multimodal assistance, source-backed research, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, websites, and multi-step agent tasks. This guide narrows that broad capability into one repeatable outcome, with checkpoints that keep the source material and your judgment in the loop.
Before you begin
Set the boundary before the tool starts.
Choose one real task, identify who will use the result, and decide what evidence or test will make the result acceptable. Gather only the source material needed for that task. If the work contains confidential, personal, regulated, or client-owned information, confirm that the platform and account are approved before sharing it.
AI should make the work easier to inspect. If the workflow removes the source, the owner, or the review step, redesign the workflow.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Choose Chat, Deep Research, or Agent based on whether the task needs an answer, evidence-gathering, or multi-step tool use.
- 02
State the deliverable, audience, sources, constraints, and external actions that require approval.
- 03
Upload only authorized files and review the model or agent plan before long-running execution.
- 04
Verify citations, calculations, generated files, and public sharing settings before using the result.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- State the outcome before the background.
- Provide the real source material.
- Review the result before expanding the task.
Kimi can search, process many files, build artifacts, and act autonomously. Keep sensitive data out of tasks, control public sharing, and independently verify sources and generated deliverables.
