What Kimi-User does

Fetches a page for someone using Kimi, Moonshot AI's assistant.

As an AI assistant, it fetches pages for a person, in real time, while they use an AI assistant. The kinds of AI agent that visit websites.

Should you allow it?

Almost always allow it. Blocking it means the assistant can't read your pages when a customer asks about you, so it answers from somewhere else. A decision guide for blocking or allowing AI crawlers.

How to allow or block Kimi-User

Kimi-User reads the Kimi-User group in your robots.txt. To block it everywhere:

User-agent: Kimi-User
Disallow: /

To allow it everywhere, even if another rule blocks other bots:

User-agent: Kimi-User
Allow: /

Robots.txt is a request, not a lock: well-behaved crawlers follow it, impostors don't. Robots.txt for AI agents.

How to tell if it's really Kimi-User

Our registry doesn't verify Kimi-User against published IP ranges yet, so treat a request that uses the name as a claim, not proof: anyone can send its user agent. Check Moonshot AI's documentation for how to verify it.
