Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

Kimi is a legitimate AI assistant from Beijing Moonshot Technology Co., Ltd. Network access is expected for its cloud-based AI features, and document access is consistent with file upload and reading functions. As with other AI assistant apps, avoid sharing highly sensitive personal, financial, legal, medical, or company-confidential information unless you are comfortable with that data being processed by the service.

Recommendation: Keep Kimi if you use it for AI chat, reading documents, or research support on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer use the service or prefer not to send prompts and files to a cloud-based assistant.
