Install once. The essentials are already there.

Single-binary install with millisecond startup — no Node.js, no PATH gymnastics.

Drop a screen recording or demo clip in chat; the agent reads the frames and acts on them.

A carefully tuned interface designed for long, focused agent sessions.

Programmable extension points to shape the workflow around you.

Package your team's workflows into skills Kimi can invoke on demand.

Inject scripts at lifecycle checkpoints — formatting, approvals, notifications, anything.

Dispatch isolated tasks in parallel, each with its own context — main thread stays clean.

Plug in any tool, data source, or enterprise system via the Model Context Protocol.
