- Use the camera for photo-based questions.
- Sync conversations across web and mobile.
- Build a mobile workflow for on-the-go use.
Why This Matters
The Kimi mobile app extends your workflow beyond the desk. Voice input lets you ask questions while walking; the camera lets you photograph and ask about anything you see; conversation sync means a chat started on web can continue on mobile. This lesson walks through the mobile app's unique features and how to integrate them into your workflow.
Concept Explained
The Kimi mobile app is available for iOS and Android and is free to install. It mirrors the web app's core features — chat, file upload, web search — and adds two unique capabilities: voice input and camera-based image capture. Conversations sync across devices when you sign in with the same account, so a chat started on web continues on mobile and vice versa.
How It Works
When you use voice input, the app transcribes your speech to text and sends it as a prompt. When you use the camera, the app captures a photo and attaches it to your next message. Both flows use the same backend as the web app — the difference is the input method.
Step-by-Step Tutorial
1. Install the app
Search 'Kimi' in the App Store (iOS) or your Android marketplace. Install the official Moonshot AI app. Sign in with the same account as the web.2. Try voice input
Tap the microphone icon next to the message input. Speak a prompt: 'What is the weather in Shanghai today?' Tap stop. Review the transcription and send.3. Try the camera
Tap the camera icon. Take a photo of any text — a book page, a sign, a receipt. Send the message with a prompt: 'Extract all text from this image.'4. Continue a web conversation
Open a conversation you started on web. It should appear in your mobile sidebar history. Tap it. Send a follow-up. The conversation continues seamlessly.5. Build a mobile workflow
Identify one task you do better on mobile: voice notes while walking, photographing receipts, quick questions while commuting. Use the mobile app for that task and the web app for the rest.Real-World Example
A real-estate agent photographed listings while showing properties. She uploaded each photo to Kimi on her phone with a prompt: 'Summarize the key features visible in this listing photo and identify any potential issues a buyer should ask about.' Kimi returned structured notes she could share with clients. The workflow turned a five-minute-per-listing note-taking task into a thirty-second voice-and-photo flow.
Common Mistakes
- Using mobile for long-form work. The small screen makes reading long responses painful.
- Ignoring voice input. It is faster than typing for short prompts.
- Not checking the transcription before sending. Voice transcription can have errors.
- Assuming mobile and web are separate. They sync — use them as one system.
- Uploading large files on mobile. Use web for files larger than 20 MB.
Best Practices
- Install the mobile app and sign in with the same account as web.
- Use voice input for short prompts while on the go.
- Use the camera for photographing text, documents, or scenes.
- Continue web conversations on mobile seamlessly.
- Use mobile for what it is good at; use web for long-form work.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | How to Fix |
|---|---|
| App crashes on large file upload | Use the web app for files larger than 20 MB. Mobile is optimized for smaller files and photos. |
| Voice transcription is wrong | Tap the transcription to edit it before sending. Speak clearly and minimize background noise. |
| Conversation does not sync | Sign out and back in. Verify you are using the same account on both devices. Allow a few seconds for sync. |
| Camera photos are blurry | Clean the lens, ensure good lighting, hold the phone steady. Re-take if needed. |
