Deep Research Search Errors

We have found that, in very rare cases, Deep Research may search in a direction that deviates from the research topic.

If you notice that the search direction or reasoning conclusion of Deep Research is clearly not what you expected, click the “👎” button at the bottom of the page right away. In the pop-up window, briefly describe the “problem type + specific deviation” (for example: search went off topic / conclusion does not match the facts). The platform will complete the review within 1–3 business days. If the issue is verified, the credit consumed for this run will be refunded automatically.

How to reduce direction deviations

When submitting a question, we recommend paying attention to the following:

• Focus the question scope: Specify the time range, geographic scope, and source types to avoid making the question too broad;
• Make good use of Clarification: After you submit a question, Kimi will return a Clarification confirmation. Use this step to clearly state the directions you do not want covered and add the dimensions that need special focus;
• Keep your input concise: If your input during Clarification is too long, unclear, or deviates from the original question, the research direction may go off track.
