Kimi can build a working website from a few sentences, a screenshot or even a screen recording. It designs the pages, writes the code, can add a database and logins, and puts the site online with one click. This page explains what it can and cannot do, what it costs, and how to get a good result.
An illustration: your idea goes in, a live website comes out.
From Kimi's Build help pages and membership pricing page, read on 8 October 2026.
Plans the pages and picks a layout, colours and images to match the style you describe.
Writes the code, and can add a database to save information and user logins.
Puts the site online at a link you can share. You can update, undo or take it down later.
You change the site by chatting ("make the heading bigger"), or by clicking parts of the preview and leaving notes, then sending them all at once.
Type what the site is for, the pages and the style.
Upload a design mockup or a screenshot of a page you like.
Upload a screen recording, and Kimi recreates the page.
There are also ready-made templates to start from. On the website, open kimi.com/build. In the phone app, choose Build in the toolbar above the message box. You can also pick Kimi K3 in a normal chat and ask for a website.

Saves data in Kimi's cloud database. You can view and edit it, and publishing a new version does not wipe it.
