Bring Your Own Claw (BYOC)

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.
