Deploy Kimi Claw Desktop in One Click

OpenClaw is an AI assistant with a distinctive personality and long-term memory. In the Kimi desktop client, you can deploy a local OpenClaw in one click and chat with it.

Kimi Claw Desktop product introduction

If you do not yet have a local OpenClaw, go to the Kimi Claw page in the Kimi desktop client to create your own OpenClaw first.

One-click deployment sets up the following for you:

  • Automatic deployment — Kimi automatically deploys OpenClaw on your local machine. If you already have another OpenClaw installed locally, Kimi can also, with your authorization, remix the existing OpenClaw’s persona, Memory Space, and capabilities for easy one-click migration.
  • Automatic model configuration — Kimi automatically configures the Kimi model and links your Kimi Code membership benefit credits, so no separate API setup is required. It also configures the Kimi Web Search service to give the AI web search capabilities.
  • Membership requirement — One-click deployment is available only on Allegretto and higher plans.
  • Quantity limit — Currently, each account supports up to 1 Kimi Claw Desktop. If you switch devices and deploy a new Kimi Claw Desktop in the Kimi desktop client, follow the prompts at that time to unlink the Claw on your previous device.

Each user account currently supports deploying up to 1 Kimi Claw Desktop. If you have deployed one on another computer before, Kimi will ask you to confirm whether to disconnect the old Claw. You can choose as needed.

Bring over your local OpenClaw in one click

If you have installed another version of local OpenClaw on this computer, the system will ask whether you want to copy the following data:

  • OpenClaw’s persona
  • Memory Space
  • Chat history
  • Workspace files

You can choose whether to migrate this data as needed.
