Kimi (Moonshot)
Moonshot AI Kimi models
No coding required. If you have never used an API key before, follow the walkthrough below step by step. Developers can skip to Quick reference at the bottom
Part 1 — Get your API key
Billing: Moonshot bills API usage to your Moonshot account
- Open platform.moonshot.ai
- Sign up or log in
- Navigate to API keys in the console
- Create and copy a new key
Open Kimi (Moonshot) key page →
The key usually looks like: Key from Moonshot platform
Part 2 — Add your connection in Airbox
- Sign in at the Airbox dashboard (airbox.fyi/dashboard)
- In the Connections card, click "+ LLM provider"
- When asked for the provider type, enter: kimi
- When asked for your API key, paste the key you copied — it is encrypted and never shown again
- When asked for a model, press Enter to accept the default or type a model name (see this page's default)
- You should now see "kimi" listed under Connections
Open the dashboard in a new tab if you want to follow along
Part 3 — Route your inbox
Your Airbox address does not use a connection until you attach one:
- In the Inboxes card, find your Airbox address
- Click the gear icon (⚙) on that address to open routing settings
- Under "AI, LLM or MCP provider", choose the connection you just added from the dropdown
- Leave "Email a reply back" checked if you want results in your inbox (recommended)
- Click "Save"
Try it — send an email
