Kimi Work
The AI desktop for knowledge work
Not kimi.com chat. Local files, human-like browsing, scheduled jobs (keep-awake if the PC sleeps), swarm to PPT/Excel. Ask-before-acting on destructive file ops.
Highlights
Your machine
Opposite of Grok Bot’s cloud VM.
Browser agent
Clicks, tabs, scrapes like a human.
24/7 if awake
LLM / Python / shell schedules. Sleeping PCs need the keep-awake toggle.
For Kimi K3
Official K3 post: Work 3.1.0 or later.
What Kimi Work is
After K3 launched, Work became the “how do I actually run long K3 jobs” search. Keep Kimi Code as the terminal coder.
Why it is trending
Kimi Work reads more clearly next to its peers: Grok Bot runs on a cloud desktop, WorkBuddy targets Tencent's office suite, and Kimi Work installs on your own machine. The "hundreds of agents at once" clips circulating on social media are demos, not committed product specs.
Timeline
Work / K2.6-era desktop push.
K3 post requires Work ≥ 3.1.0.
Download macOS (Apple silicon) / Windows from kimi.com/products/kimi-work.
Confirmed vs caution
Confirmed
Official Work page + FAQ + K3 availability note.
Caution
Two things to note: pricing tiers for Kimi Work are whatever Moonshot's membership and enterprise pages state, and are not restated here; and the officially listed desktop support covers Windows and Apple silicon Macs, with Intel Macs absent from the list.
How to choose
Local knowledge work
Work. Especially finance + files + browser.
Cloud always-on coworker
Grok Bot, if you accept the shared VM and Cursor pricing.
How to use it
Install ≥ 3.1.0 for K3. Mount folders. Toggle keep-awake for Cron.
On QCode
Kimi Work is a third-party desktop product from Moonshot and QCode does not resell it. The model is a separate matter: QCode currently lists kimi-k3 on /models, callable through the API independently of the desktop app.
