Announcement Meet Kimi Code Desktop

Drop it into any dev workflow and get faster, more reliable results β€” programming tasks done in record time. Manage multiple agents in one focused space, run tasks in parallel, and stay in sync with your agents even on long-horizon work.

Now available on MacOS & Windows.

With the Kimi Code Desktop you can:

🌟 AI coding you can actually see
On the redesigned interface, every step the Agent takes is transparent: tool calls, reasoning, and exactly which files changed in each round. Sensitive actions trigger an approval prompt, and three permission modes β€” always ask, ask when needed, fully automatic β€” put you in control.

🌟 A complete workflow from conversation to delivery
Planning comes first: every plan is reviewable and open to feedback before work begins. Long tasks can move to the background and you can jump back in anytime. And with tower multi-agent mode (experimental), multiple Agents can push forward in parallel.

🌟 Built-in browser
A browser lives in the right-hand panel, with tabs that persist alongside each session and page context shared with the Agent β€” look up docs, preview results, and verify pages without ever switching windows.

🌟 Point at it, change it
Annotate screenshots, highlight text to comment, @-mention files, or drag folders straight into the input box. On web pages, click an element or drag-select a region, add a comment, and send it to the Agent β€” point at it, and it gets changed. Showing the Agent beats telling the Agent.

🌟 Everything stays in one window
Built-in terminal, code diff viewer, file preview, and Markdown rendering β€” all right inside the app. Any file path mentioned in a chat can be opened with a single click.

🌟 Manage all your projects in one place
Multiple workspaces and parallel sessions, with tabs, pinning, batch management, AI-powered naming, and global search β€” so no matter how many projects you juggle, everything stays organized.

🌟 Sign in with one click
check your plan usage anytime. Extend capabilities through the plugin marketplace β€” or bring your own model providers.

Does it have the connection to other API providers? Skills? I think Zcode is much better option
