The outcome

Create a decision-ready research package whose evidence and limits can be checked.

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.

Troiana principle

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.

  1. 01

    Define the decision, audience, geography, time range, source priority, and questions the report must answer.

  2. 02

    Open Deep Research, provide authorized background files, and answer the clarification questions rather than skipping scope review.

  3. 03

    Watch the search plan and visited sources, correcting weak directions before the full report is assembled.

  4. 04

    Require separate treatment of facts, disagreement, inference, uncertainty, and unanswered questions.

  5. 05

    Open consequential citations, verify calculations, and edit the Markdown and visual report before sharing.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Narrow the research question.
  • Prioritize primary sources.
  • Treat the visual report as a draft, not proof.

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.
