How to Use Kimi AI (Moonshot): Long Documents and Research

Kimi, from Moonshot AI, is popular for reading and reasoning over very long material โ€” whole reports, contracts or books โ€” and for agent-style research tasks.

Get started on the web

  1. 1

    Open Kimi

    Go to kimi.com (the official site) and switch the interface language if needed.

  2. 2

    Sign in

    Create an account or sign in with a supported method.

  3. 3

    Ask or upload

    Type a question, or upload PDFs, Word files or images for Kimi to read.

Best uses

  • Summarise a long report and list the key numbers with page references.
  • Compare two long documents (for example two contract versions).
  • Research a topic across many web pages and produce a structured summary.
Long-document prompt
I uploaded two versions of our supplier contract. List every clause that changed, show old vs new wording in a table, and flag any change that increases our cost or risk.

Mobile app

Install Kimi from your official app store, checking that the publisher is Moonshot AI, and sign in with the same account to keep your chats in sync.

For developers

Moonshot AI offers an API through its developer platform, and some Kimi models have been released as open weights. The largest open models need data-centre hardware, so most people use Kimi through the website, app or API rather than running it at home.

Key takeaways

  • โ˜… Use kimi.com or the official app โ€” check the publisher.
  • โ˜… Kimi shines at long documents and research-style tasks.
  • โ˜… Developers can use the API; the largest models are not practical to run at home.
