Bring Your Own Claw (BYOC)

If you already run OpenClaw on your own machine or server, you do not need to start over. The BYOC option lets you connect your existing setup to the kimi.com interface, giving you access to the cloud features, 40 GB storage, and ClawHub skills while keeping your local configuration intact.

Beta limitations to keep in mind

Kimi Claw launched on February 15, 2026 and is still in beta. You can only run one agent instance at a time. The full experience is browser focused; the mobile app has limited Claw features. Skill quality varies since they are community contributed. Complex multi-step workflows can sometimes break. Since the agent runs on Moonshot AI's cloud servers, users with strict data residency requirements may prefer self-hosting OpenClaw instead.
