Looking for an AI assistant that can handle hundreds of thousands of words of long texts and keep up with real-time information? I’ve been using Kimi for half a year, and I’ve encountered issues with regular assistants that lag when processing long texts or are slow to retrieve information. Today, I’ll share my practical experience to help you avoid detours.

Figure out your needs first

Many people looking for AI assistants want everything, but Kimi’s core strengths lie in two areas: long text processing and internet access. First, clarify whether you need to handle long-form content or look up the latest news—don’t follow trends blindly. I first tried it to tackle a full-length novel. At that time, I had a 200,000-word online novel, and I was getting dizzy from flipping through it and couldn’t make sense of the subplots. I switched to several assistants, but they all lagged and crashed, until I found Kimi.

Kimi’s long text processing is no gimmick—it can actually read 200,000 words in one go, without crashing or missing details. When I uploaded that novel, it didn’t give me a dry plot summary; instead, it sorted out the logic of the three subplots I was struggling with, the connections between each character’s actions, and even picked up on foreshadowing I hadn’t noticed myself. Later, I learned this is supported by Moonshot AI’s technology—something not every assistant can do.

Choose the right usage based on your needs

If you’re a novel lover like me, don’t just use it to search for book titles—try uploading the entire novel and let it organise the structure and mark key points, so you don’t have to flip back and forth looking for details. Later, I also used it to process a work report: I uploaded a tens-of-thousands-word project document, and it quickly extracted core data and helped me sort out the responsibility links between different departments, saving me hours of organising time.

Of course, its internet access function is also practical. Regular assistants are always half a day behind when retrieving news, but Kimi can capture the latest information in real time. When I look up industry trends or general knowledge, I don’t need to open multiple web pages—just ask it and get the latest info. Once I needed to find the details of a newly released policy; other assistants gave me content from the previous month, but Kimi directly pulled up the official notice from that day, saving me a lot of effort.

Avoid these small pitfalls

There are also things to note when using it. For example, the text format you upload should be as clear as possible; if there are too many garbled characters or watermarks, it will make mistakes in recognition. The first time I uploaded a novel, it counted duplicate chapters because of the format issue, but it was fixed after I adjusted the file. Also, if you need to process very professional content, such as technical papers or legal provisions, it’s best to split the content into several parts and upload them separately, instead of shoving everything in at once. I tried uploading a 100,000-word technical document, and after splitting it, its analysis accuracy was much higher than when I uploaded it as a whole.

Another point: its internet access function is enabled by default. If you need highly private content, such as personal diaries or internal documents, remember to turn off internet access in advance—otherwise, it won’t sync the content to places outside the server. Moonshot AI’s technology is reliable in this regard; I’ve used it for a long time and haven’t had any privacy leaks.
