> Kimi Work is a Local Agent designed for deep workflows. It mounts your local folders, navigates the web autonomously via WebBridge, runs Python code in the background, and executes scheduled tasks. It's clearly a dupe of Claude/Codex products (Codex especially, styling-wise), but I think Kimi's goal here is simply to appear on feature-parity with bigger labs. I doubt they'd want to invest much into designing a UI f…

I think we need to stop using the term "dupe" as if there was some originality somewhere that was not built upon or copied what already existed.

I highly recommend to anyone that uses them a lot - try to clone your own. I’ve got mine fully formed into how I want it, with features I haven’t seen anywhere else yet and with integration into everything I work with. We’ve lived in a world where every app had to fit enough people well enough - but now we live in a world where an app can be molded to be absolutely perfect for just you!

How did you build your own coding agent? What language/framework did you use?

Implementing your own agent is very easy. Here is a minimal agent in 60 lines of Python without dependencies:

You only need a single tool to start with. All recent LLMs know how to use bash for reading/writing/editing/executing.

Good. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google built their models by shameless training on works of millions of people without any compensation.

That is an awful take. Although Silicon Valley's tech bros are shameless in their own way, there's no justification for symmetrizing the two.

For all intents and purposes this is legal. As is distillation. No justification is needed.

I'm surprised by the negative its-a-copy sentiment.

Of course it is. Just like Linear/Mailchimp/etc. (almost everything) are copies of other things. These harness+work apps are becoming a product category and I'm excited about this from the Kimi/Moonshot team. In the end, more competition in this space can only be good for the user.
