Kimi 阅读助手

Kimi 阅读助手 (Kimi Reading Assistant) is a third-party Chrome extension that enables users to send any browsable webpage content to Kimi.ai for AI-powered reading assistance, summarization, and multi-round conversations. Designed for Chinese-speaking users, it bridges the gap between web content and Kimi.ai's language model capabilities without requiring manual copy-pasting of URLs or text.

How It Works

The extension adds a toolbar icon that, when clicked, opens a side panel connected to Kimi.ai. Users navigate to any webpage, activate the extension via keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+E on Windows, Command+Shift+E on Mac) or by clicking the icon, and select from preset AI task prompts. The page content is sent to Kimi.ai for processing according to the selected task type. Results appear in the conversation panel where users can ask follow-up questions in a multi-turn chat format.

Key Features

• Send any webpage to Kimi.ai for AI-assisted reading and summarization with a single keyboard shortcut
• Support for conversations with local files, enabling document upload and discussion within the extension
• Adapted integrations for Chinese platforms: Xiaohongshu visual notes, WeChat Reading content, JD.com and Taobao product pages, and Bilibili video subtitle summaries
• Sortable frequently used prompts for quick access to common AI tasks across different reading scenarios
• Text highlighting to ask context-specific questions about selected page content
• Conversation export to Flomo note-taking service for later reference
• Compatibility with Arc browser and dark theme support

Use Cases

• Summarizing long articles and news pieces to extract key information quickly without reading the full text
• Translating academic papers and professional documents between Chinese and English using specialized translation prompts
• Analyzing e-commerce product listings on JD.com and Taobao for feature comparison and review insights
• Extracting and summarizing Bilibili video subtitles for rapid content overview without watching the full video
• Reading Xiaohongshu posts and WeChat Reading content with AI-generated commentary and explanation
• Conducting multi-turn research sessions with follow-up questions about page content

Intended Users

Kimi 阅读助手 is built for Chinese-speaking knowledge workers, students, researchers, and professionals who regularly consume Chinese web content and want AI-assisted reading support. It is especially useful for users who already rely on Kimi.ai on desktop and seek a more streamlined way to bring web content into their AI conversations without manual copy-paste workflows.

Limitations

• Requires Chrome 116 or later to function properly
• The extension is a third-party tool, not an official Moonshot AI product, which may affect long-term compatibility
• Interface and prompts are primarily in Chinese, limiting accessibility for non-Chinese-speaking users
• Last updated in August 2025, which may indicate reduced active development

Privacy and Security

The developer has disclosed that the extension does not collect or use user data. Page content sent to Kimi.ai for processing is subject to Kimi.ai's own privacy policy. No account or registration is required beyond a Kimi.ai account for the underlying AI service.
