Agent update
Kimi Work desktop agent
Kimi Work, launched in beta on 3 Jun 2026, is a desktop agent in the Kimi client for Mac and Windows. It works with folders on your computer and can return finished documents, spreadsheets and slide decks, rather than only a chat reply.
How to use Kimi Work for small business
A bookkeeper could point it at a folder of monthly workbooks, ask for a combined performance summary, and have the result written back as a spreadsheet or a short deck. A consultant could hand it a pile of PDFs and ask it to organise them into a usable knowledge folder, then review the output on the same machine. A marketing coordinator could ask it to draft a report from local files and export a Word document or slides, without uploading everything to a web chat first.
The June 2026 posts describe Kimi Work as beta. Download requirements at the time were Mac with Apple silicon, and Windows. A mid-June update added Goal mode, which can keep working on a long task for up to 24 hours, and a plugin centre. A half-price usage offer applied only that month, and only to Work mode on the desktop client. The posts do not set out country availability, or a current ongoing price.
Most useful for: Executive Assistant – Prepare meeting packs, briefing notes and papers for the executive, Business Analyst – Write the findings, the options and a recommended next step for the decision-makers, Office Manager – Keep filing and document systems tidy
