Kimi
What it is
Kimi is Moonshot AI's line of large-context (up to 1M tokens) multimodal AI models, with an OpenAI-compatible API. The integration connects with a personal API key and lets a bot flow chat with the model, analyze images, use the model's built-in web search, and extract text from uploaded files — all directly from the flow.
Requirements
- An account at platform.kimi.ai.
- An API key from Console → API keys.
How to connect
- Sign in at platform.kimi.ai and open Console → API keys.
- Create a key and copy it.
- In the constructor, open Integrations → find the Kimi card → Connect.
- Paste the key into the connection field and save.
- Verify the connection with Test connection — it shows the current account balance.
Available operations
| Operation | What it does |
|---|---|
| Send message | Chat with the model: system prompt, conversation history, JSON mode, streaming output |
| Analyze image | Answers a question about an image (URL or a Telegram file_id) |
| React to message | The model picks one emoji reaction from a given list |
| List models | Returns the available models and their parameters |
| Web search | Chat that automatically uses the model's built-in web search when needed to answer |
| Extract text from file | Uploads a file (PDF, DOCX, TXT, etc.) and returns its extracted text |
Limits
- Every operation calls Kimi's chat endpoint (
/v1/chat/completions) — tokens are billed per your account's plan. - Kimi's API has no image generation, embeddings, or moderation endpoints — there are no corresponding operations here.
- "Web search" may exchange a few requests with the model within a single operation call (until the model gives a final answer) — this adds a bit of latency and token usage compared to a plain message.
Notes
The "Extract text from file" operation doesn't answer questions by itself — it only pulls the file's text into a variable. To ask a question about a document, pass
{{result.text}}into the "Send message" operation's system prompt as the next step of the flow — this is the approach Kimi's own docs recommend.
In "Web search", the model itself decides whether search is needed to answer — if the question doesn't need fresh information from the internet, no search runs and
{{result.used_search}}stays empty.
