Moonshot AI unveiled Kimi Claw, a cloud-native version of the OpenClaw agent framework designed to run entirely within a web browser. The platform removes the need for local servers, Docker installations, or dedicated hardware, lowering technical barriers for deploying autonomous AI agents.

Kimi Claw is hosted on the kimi.com domain and targets users who previously relied on virtual private servers to keep OpenClaw agents running continuously. Moonshot said the release is intended to simplify agent deployment while maintaining persistent operation and scalability.
The platform is powered by Moonshot’s Kimi K2.5 model, a 1-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts system released in January 2026. According to the company, Kimi Claw handles deployment and infrastructure management automatically, providing persistent memory and up to 40 gigabytes of cloud storage per agent.
Marketplace, Search, and Hybrid Support
Kimi Claw integrates a built-in marketplace called ClawHub, which hosts more than 5,000 community-contributed skills. These skills allow users to automate tasks and assemble multi-step workflows without writing custom code, expanding the range of applications that can be deployed through the browser interface.
The platform also includes a “Pro-Grade Search” feature that enables real-time access to external data sources such as Yahoo Finance. This functionality is intended to support time-sensitive queries and enhance agents’ ability to retrieve current information, turning the browser interface into a centralized control panel for AI operations.
To accommodate existing users, Moonshot introduced a “Bring Your Own Claw” option. The feature allows users running their own OpenClaw instances to connect them to the kimi.com interface, enabling a hybrid setup that combines self-hosted environments with cloud-based integrations. Users can retain local control while accessing features such as centralized management and integrations with messaging platforms including Telegram.
OpenClaw Ecosystem Momentum
The launch of Kimi Claw comes amid growing momentum around the OpenClaw framework, which previously operated under the names ClawdBot and MoltBot. The open-source project has accumulated more than 100,000 stars on GitHub, reflecting strong adoption within the developer community.
Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw, recently joined OpenAI. On February 15, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman confirmed Steinberger’s move, saying he would help develop the next generation of personal AI agents.
The release of Kimi Claw highlights growing competition among AI companies to make agent-based systems easier to deploy and manage, as interest accelerates in tools that can autonomously execute complex workflows with minimal infrastructure overhead.
