Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI announced Kimi Claw on February 15, offering a cloud-native implementation of the OpenClaw agent framework that runs entirely in a web browser. The platform eliminates the need for local server configuration, Docker installations, or dedicated hardware/VPS instances previously required to keep OpenClaw agents running continuously. “OpenClaw, now native to kimi.com. Living right in your browser tab, online 24/7,” the company stated.
Powered by Moonshot’s Kimi K2.5 model, a 1-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts architecture released in January 2026, Kimi Claw provides one-click deployment through kimi.com. The platform includes persistent memory and 40GB of cloud storage. “It runs entirely in your browser, so there’s no local install and no server config. Kimi deploys and manages the agent for you,” according to a tutorial video released after the announcement.
Kimi Claw features access to ClawHub, a marketplace with over 5,000 community-contributed skills for task automation and workflow chaining. The platform includes a “Pro-Grade Search” feature for real-time data retrieval from sources including Yahoo Finance. For existing OpenClaw users, a “Bring Your Own Claw” feature connects third-party setups to the kimi.com interface, allowing access to cloud capabilities including integration with messaging apps like Telegram.
OpenClaw, previously named ClawdBot and MoltBot, has accumulated over 100,000 GitHub stars. Peter Steinberger, the framework’s creator, joined OpenAI to develop “the next generation of personal agents,” Sam Altman announced on February 15. OpenClaw will continue as an open-source project under an independent foundation.
Kimi Claw is available in beta for Moonshot’s Allegretto subscription tier members and above, accessible via web, iOS, and Android clients. Some features, including direct terminal control, remain under development.
