Kimi Claw changes everything about how regular people can use AI agents. I wrote about OpenClaw when it first went viral a few weeks ago and called it “the most interesting AI agent framework nobody’s parents have heard of.” The problem was always the same. Setting it up required a terminal, a server, and the kind of patience most people reserve for assembling IKEA furniture without the instructions.
Kimi Claw fixes that entirely. Moonshot AI just took the entire OpenClaw framework and embedded it directly into kimi.com. No installation. No terminal commands. No server. You open a browser tab and your AI agent is already running.
What Kimi Claw Actually Is
OpenClaw is the open source AI agent framework that exploded to over 60,000 GitHub stars in January 2026. It connects to your messaging apps, runs tasks on its own, and has a library of thousands of community built skills. The catch? You had to host it yourself. That meant renting a server, running commands in a terminal, and troubleshooting when things broke at 2am.
Kimi Claw removes that barrier completely. Moonshot AI, the Chinese company behind the Kimi chatbot and the Kimi K2.5 model with 1 trillion parameters, now runs a fully managed version of OpenClaw right inside kimi.com. TestingCatalog confirmed the beta rollout is live right now.
The agent runs 24/7 in the cloud. It doesn’t sleep when you close your laptop. It remembers conversations from weeks ago through long term memory. It even has a personality you can customize through something called SOUL.md, a simple text file that defines how your agent talks, what it cares about, and how it handles different situations. Think of it as giving your AI assistant an actual character sheet.
The Kimi Claw Features That Matter
Four things stand out from the announcement.
ClawHub Access
You get 5,000+ community built skills right out of the box. These range from email management and calendar scheduling to pulling stock data and controlling smart home devices. Previously, you’d need to install these one by one through a command line. Now they’re just there, ready to use the moment you open Kimi Claw.
40GB Cloud Storage
Your agent gets massive space for files, documents, and reference data. That’s enough to store years of conversation history and project files without worrying about running out of room. For comparison, ChatGPT doesn’t offer persistent file storage at all.
Live Data Search
Kimi Claw pulls real time data directly from sources like Yahoo Finance. Your agent can check stock prices, look up company filings, or grab current information without you copying and pasting from another tab. It’s the kind of grounding that keeps AI responses tied to reality instead of hallucinated guesses.
Bring Your Own Claw
This is the most interesting feature for power users. If you already run a self hosted OpenClaw setup, you can connect it directly to kimi.com and manage everything through the Kimi chat interface. You can also bridge your agent to apps like Telegram groups, which means your AI assistant can participate in group conversations on your behalf.
What Kimi Claw Costs
Kimi Claw is currently in beta for Allegretto members and above.
Moonshot names their tiers after musical tempos, which is a nice touch. Moderato runs $19 per month and gives you higher usage limits and faster responses but no Kimi Claw access. Allegretto costs $39 per month and unlocks Kimi Claw plus simultaneous high speed queries. Vivace is the top tier at $199 per month with unlimited agent usage and the fastest inference speeds.
For context, running your own OpenClaw server with a decent hosting provider would cost you roughly $10 to $30 per month plus the time to maintain it. The $39 Allegretto plan removes all of that hassle and gives you a managed experience that just works.

What Kimi Claw Means for You
This is the moment AI agents stop being a developer toy and start becoming a consumer product.
When I first wrote about OpenClaw going viral, the technology was impressive and the setup process was a dealbreaker for most people. Kimi Claw removes that dealbreaker entirely. You sign up, you open a tab, and you have an AI agent that can manage your email, track your investments, schedule your meetings, and remember your preferences across sessions.
The $39 per month price tag puts it above the $20 dollar range we see with ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro subscription. The difference is that Kimi Claw doesn’t just answer questions. It takes action on your behalf while you’re not even looking at the screen.
We’re watching AI move from “chat with me” to “let me handle that for you.” That shift is going to change how regular people interact with AI over the next year.
