Kimi Claw: Run Open Claw on Kimi's Cloud VM 117

Kimi Claw is a cloud-based AI agent service launched by Moonshot AI. It is built on the open-source framework OpenClaw, but packaged as a "one-click ready" cloud service. You don't need to install any software or manage a server—you can use it directly, and it's online around the clock.

Unlike a locally deployed OpenClaw, Kimi Claw runs entirely in the cloud, comes with 40GB of storage, uses the Kimi K2.5 model, and integrates more than 5,000 community-built skill packages.

FAQ

• How is it different from OpenClaw? OpenClaw requires local installation, while Kimi Claw is the cloud-hosted version—ready out of the box with essentially the same features.

• Can it be used in China? It's currently targeted mainly at international Kimi users, so access from within China may be restricted.

• How do I add new capabilities? Use ready-made community skills from ClawHub, or write your own skills and teach it.

• Is my data secure? Data is stored on Moonshot's cloud rather than being local-first like OpenClaw, so pay attention to your privacy settings.

• Can it connect to an existing OpenClaw? Yes, local or third-party OpenClaw instances can be bridged to Kimi Claw.

• Why is it paid? It's a value-added Beta service requiring an Allegretto membership ($39/month) or higher, but it includes Kimi API credits, Claude Code, PPT generation, and more.

• How do I use the skill library? Just tell Kimi Claw what you want to do and it will search for the right skill on its own—you don't need to pick one.
