Kimi Work launches a Windows AI desktop agent for local file search, browser automation, and scheduled workflows

Kimi Work is presented as an AI desktop app for Windows that connects deeply with local files, automates browser tasks, and runs background workflows. The product highlights examples like finding PDFs about quarterly reports in a local workspace and generating summaries while preserving original files.

The pitch reflects a broader shift toward local AI agents that operate across personal files, browsers, and scheduled tasks rather than staying inside chat interfaces. If reliable, tools like this could move AI from ad hoc assistance into always-on productivity automation for knowledge workers.
