Moonshot AI launched Kimi Claw, a browser-native implementation of OpenClaw that removes the technical setup typically required to run autonomous AI agents. The service runs in a single browser tab with 24/7 uptime, includes 5,000+ pre-built automation skills, and offers 40GB of cloud storage.
OpenClaw is an open-source agent framework that combines a language model with software connectors that let the AI control applications and execute tasks. Kimi Claw eliminates the local setup barrier by hosting the agent infrastructure on Moonshot's servers.
What Kimi Claw Offers
According to Moonshot AI's announcement, Kimi Claw runs OpenClaw natively on kimi.com. The agent operates in a browser tab, maintains persistent context across sessions, and stays online continuously.
Key features:
Browser-native execution. No local installation or server configuration required.
24/7 uptime. The agent runs continuously in a single tab.
Persistent context. Sessions maintain state across interactions.
One-click deployment. Start an agent without command-line setup.
ClawHub: 5,000+ Pre-Built Skills
The core utility is ClawHub, a library of community-contributed skills. Each skill is a functional extension that connects the agent to external tools and services.
This matters for workflow automation. Instead of writing custom API integrations, users can discover and chain pre-built skills within the kimi.com interface. The modular architecture allows engineers to connect their agents to third-party services without writing custom API wrappers.
The skill library is community-driven. The ecosystem grows as developers contribute, though this also introduces vetting requirements for security.
40GB Cloud Storage for Large Datasets
Kimi Claw provides 40GB of dedicated cloud storage, addressing a constraint in chat-based AI interfaces: context limits.
Data scientists often face memory limits in standard chat interfaces. The 40GB allocation enables persistent storage of large datasets, technical documentation, and code repositories that the agent can access across sessions. This supports Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows, where the model grounds responses in user-provided files rather than training data alone.
For data-heavy projects that previously required local environments, this moves those capabilities into a browser tab.
Real-Time Data Access
Kimi Claw integrates what Moonshot calls "Pro-Grade Search," allowing the agent to fetch live, structured data from sources including Yahoo Finance.
This addresses the knowledge cutoff limitation in language models. Instead of relying on training data frozen at a specific date, the agent can pull current financial data and market information. The agent retrieves specific data points to inform its reasoning, reducing hallucinations and providing up-to-the-minute accuracy for time-sensitive tasks.
Bring Your Own Claw: Hybrid Infrastructure
The BYOC ("Bring Your Own Claw") feature allows users to connect existing OpenClaw deployments to kimi.com. Users running OpenClaw locally or on third-party servers can maintain their configuration while using Kimi's cloud interface.
This hybrid approach serves users who have existing OpenClaw setups with custom configurations, local data, or specific security requirements. BYOC provides access to Kimi's interface, storage, and skill ecosystem while keeping the agent runtime under user control.
The feature extends to external platforms. Users can bridge Kimi Claw agents to Telegram, enabling the agent to participate in group chats, execute skills, and provide automated updates outside the browser. With 24/7 uptime, bridged agents can monitor workflows and trigger notifications autonomously.
What This Means for AI Agent Deployment
The combination of browser-native execution, persistent storage, real-time data access, and a large skill ecosystem shifts how personal AI agents can be deployed.
For developers: Build agents without managing server infrastructure. Access a skill library instead of writing integrations from scratch.
For data professionals: Persistent context for complex workflows. 40GB storage for RAG-based projects within a browser interface.
For organizations: Autonomous agents without the infrastructure overhead of local deployment. BYOC option for hybrid setups where control over sensitive components is required.
By combining a massive skill library with significant storage and real-time data access, Moonshot AI is positioning the browser tab as a professional-grade development environment for AI agents.
