Kimi Work FAQ

What's the difference between Kimi Work and the web version?

While the Kimi web app is perfect for quick chat and queries, Kimi Work is a local Agent designed for deep workflows. It reads and handles your local folders, navigates the web autonomously via WebBridge, runs Python code in the background, and executes scheduled tasks. It's a system-level digital employee.

How does Kimi Work protect my privacy when accessing local files?

You have absolute control over your files. Kimi Work provides permission control, and you choose how to authorize:

• Request permission: ask for authorization before acting — Kimi prompts you for explicit authorization before it modifies, overwrites, or runs code within your local files;
• Allow all: run directly without asking for authorization.

When you choose "Request permission", nothing happens without your consent.

What exactly can WebBridge (browser automation) do for me?

WebBridge gives Kimi the ability to use a browser like a human. You can tell it to check the latest news on a website and summarize it, or scrape historical stock data to your local Excel. It clicks, scrolls, and extracts data autonomously, saving you hours of manual work.

What can I do with scheduled tasks? Do they run if my computer is asleep?

The built-in Cron scheduler supports LLM Agent calls, Python/Shell executions, and more. You can trigger tasks daily, hourly, or conditionally. To ensure tasks run seamlessly overnight, simply toggle the "Keep Computer Awake" option in your settings.
