How Kimi Browser Extension Works
Workflow
Kimi Browser Extension supports two ways of use — sidebar chat and remote control by a local Agent — and works as follows:
- Browser Sidebar: Click the Kimi icon in the toolbar to open the sidebar, then sign in with your Kimi account to chat directly
- Local Bridge Service: A local service runs on your computer to receive instructions from the Agent
- Browser Extension: Executes specific actions in the browser based on the Chrome DevTools Protocol
- Security Isolation: All execution happens locally—login states and web page content never leave your device
Extension Interface
Click the Kimi Browser Extension icon in the browser toolbar to expand the sidebar and send a task.
