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