What Is Kimi Deep Research?
Kimi Deep Research is an autonomous AI research agent from Moonshot AI designed for questions that need more than a short search result. Instead of immediately producing a single answer, the tool can clarify the research objective, break the request into smaller investigation tasks, search across multiple sources and combine the evidence into a structured report.
The workflow is particularly useful for market research, academic exploration, industry analysis, competitive research and complex knowledge work. Kimi shows active search progress while the task is running, making it easier to understand how the research is developing rather than treating the process as a hidden one step response.
Research Reports With Traceable Sources
Kimi Deep Research is designed around source backed reporting. Completed research can include a detailed text report with citations and an interactive visual report. Users can continue asking follow up questions after the initial report to examine another angle, challenge assumptions or expand a specific section.
Flexible Research Deliverables
Research does not have to stay inside the chat interface. Depending on the task, Kimi can help turn findings into PDF reports, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, Excel files and interactive HTML reports. This makes the tool useful when research needs to move directly into a presentation, business document or analytical workflow.
