Build a Source-Checked Kimi Plan
Create a verified seven-day Kimi learning plan using official sources.
Introduction
30 Second Summary
AI advice can sound convincing even when its details are outdated. Without visible sources, you have no clear way to decide whether a recommendation deserves your trust.
In this project, you will turn a deliberately weak Kimi answer into a source-checked seven-day learning plan. The finished session traces every daily task back to official guidance.
What You'll Build
Your finished Kimi session lets you demonstrate how a vague answer becomes a seven-day plan with a goal, task, reusable prompt, expected result, and source for every day.
By the end of this project, you'll have:
- Show the difference between a source-free answer and a researched answer. Explain why source verification matters.
- Use Web-Connected Search to produce an evidence table. Open its cited links to confirm that they lead to official Kimi pages.
- Give Kimi two official guide URLs for targeted analysis. Trace each recommendation back to one or both guides.
- Secret Mission: Run the same question through Deep Research. Compare its cited report with your manually guided plan.
Are there any prerequisites?
You need a Mac with access to Safari plus an existing Kimi account. The main project uses your free plan without programming or software installation.
Before We Start
AI-generated advice is useful when you can confirm that it is current and supported by reliable evidence. This checkpoint commits you to building a source-checked seven-day Kimi learning plan for a complete beginner.
Open a Clean Kimi Session
Your seven-day plan grows through several rounds of prompting. Each round adds source checks to the same body of evidence.
A dedicated Kimi chat session keeps that context focused. Safari provides the browser workspace for it.
In this step, get ready to:
- Confirm that Safari can load the Kimi web app.
- Access your existing Kimi account.
- Create a dedicated Kimi session with a visible reply.
Check Safari access
Kimi runs directly in a browser with no download. Loading its site in Safari checks the access this project needs.
- Press Cmd+Space on your Mac to open macOS search.
You'll see the macOS search field.
- Type Safari into the search field.
You'll see Safari in the search results.
- Press Return to open Safari.
You'll see a Safari window open.
- Click the address bar at the top of Safari.
- Enter https://www.kimi.com.
- Press Return to load Kimi.
You'll see the Kimi web app or its sign-in screen. This confirms that Safari can reach Kimi.
Kimi does not load in Safari?
- Repeat the macOS search if Safari did not open from the first result.
- Check your internet connection if the Kimi page does not load.
Still stuck? Help me work out why Kimi is not loading in Safari on my Mac.
Start a dedicated Kimi session
Starting a new session clears previous conversation context. Kimi recommends a separate session for each standalone task.
Signing in connects this browser session to your existing account. This project never asks you to paste account credentials into the conversation.
✔️ Kimi opens my account
- Select New session in Kimi.
You'll see an empty conversation ready for this project.
ⓧ Kimi asks me to sign in
- Click Sign in.
You'll see the account sign-in flow.
- Complete the sign-in flow with your existing Kimi account.
You'll return to Kimi with access to your account.
- Select New session in Kimi.
You'll see an empty conversation ready for this project.
Having trouble signing in?
- Retry the sign-in method you normally use for your Kimi account.
- Wait for the account page to finish loading before selecting New session.
Need a hand? Help me access my existing Kimi account in Safari.
Send the verification message
A visible reply proves that the dedicated session can receive messages. This small check also records the project's purpose at the top of the conversation.
- Click the chat input box below the conversation.
- Enter this exact message: Hello Kimi. I am building a source-checked seven-day learning plan.
Before you send it, do you expect the clean session to reply without relying on any earlier conversation?
- Send the message by selecting the send control beside the chat input.
You'll see the verification message in the conversation. Kimi returns a visible reply beneath it.
That first reply confirms your focused workspace is ready for the learning plan.
- Leave the dedicated session open for the next step.
- Keep the conversation free of research prompts or plan drafts.
✔️ My Kimi session is ready
Your dedicated session is ready when the verification message appears with a visible Kimi reply. No research prompts or plan drafts should appear below it.
ⓧ I'd like to double check the session
- Confirm that Kimi is open in Safari.
- Confirm that you are signed in to your existing Kimi account.
- Confirm that the current conversation is a new session.
- Confirm that the session contains Hello Kimi. I am building a source-checked seven-day learning plan..
- Confirm that a visible Kimi reply appears beneath your message.
- Confirm that no research prompts or plan drafts have been added.
Kimi does not reply?
- Check that your verification message appears inside the conversation.
- Confirm that Safari can still load the Kimi web app.
Still waiting? Help me troubleshoot why my new Kimi session is not returning a visible reply.
Your clean session now has a confirmed reply. Next up, you'll create a deliberately weak draft so its missing evidence is easy to spot.
Create a Weak First Draft
Your dedicated Kimi session is ready. It has already returned a visible reply to your verification message.
A confident-looking plan can be difficult to trust when its advice cannot be traced. This step creates a deliberately constrained baseline so you can experience that verification gap.
In this step, get ready to:
- Generate a seven-day baseline with strict output constraints.
- Count the entries and audit what the response can support.
Test a strict prompt
A constrained prompt controls the shape of an answer. This one limits the response so you can judge a source-free plan on its own.
Before you send the prompt, do you think a tightly constrained answer can still feel useful?
- In the dedicated Kimi session from earlier, select the chat input box.
- Set the response boundaries by sending this exact prompt:
Create a seven-day plan for learning the Kimi browser assistant. Return exactly seven one-line bullets, one for each day. Do not use web search, links, citations, or explanations.
What Does This Prompt Test?
- The seven-day constraint gives the draft a clear structure.
- The one-line limit keeps every day brief.
- The final sentence deliberately removes the evidence you would normally use to verify the advice.
- Wait for Kimi to finish its reply.
- Count the day entries in the reply.
- Confirm that every day entry fits on one line.
You should see exactly seven one-line day entries. The response should contain no links, citations, or explanations.
Did Kimi Ignore a Constraint?
- Check that the prompt includes the requirement for exactly seven one-line bullets.
- Check that the final sentence still excludes web search, links, citations, and explanations.
- Resend the exact prompt in the same dedicated session.
Still seeing the wrong format? Help me check why Kimi did not follow this prompt.
Audit the missing evidence
A useful-looking answer still needs evidence before you can rely on it. Your draft now gives you something concrete to audit.
Before you inspect the draft, do you think it can prove that its recommendations use current Kimi features?
- Scan every day entry for a source link.
- Look for instructions that explain how to check each day's result.
- Look for evidence that the named features are current.
You should find no source links, no result-checking instructions, and no evidence that the features are current. That shortfall is intentional.
Why Is This Draft Weak?
The draft may contain sensible ideas, but you cannot trace them to official guidance. You also cannot tell whether each task worked or whether the advice reflects Kimi's current features.
This gives you a clear baseline for judging the researched version later.
You have exposed the weakness in a source-free answer. Next, you'll ground the plan in current information with traceable reference links.
Research with Web-Connected Search
Your deliberately weak draft made the verification problem visible. Its seven one-line entries look useful, but none can be traced to a source.
Web-Connected Search lets Kimi use current web information. It adds traceable reference links to the researched answer.
In this step, get ready to:
- Enable Web-Connected Search in the dedicated Kimi session.
- Generate a four-column feature table from official Kimi sources.
- Audit two citations against their original pages.
Enable Web-Connected Search
The earlier answer stays inside the session so you can compare it with the researched result. Search needs to be enabled before Kimi can add web references.
- In the Kimi session from earlier, locate the Web-Connected Search toggle below the chat input.
- Select Web-Connected Search.
- Confirm the control shows that search is enabled.
You have fixed the first gap. Your dedicated session can now add web sources to its answer.
Generate an official-source feature table
A precise prompt controls the research boundaries before Kimi searches. This one limits the evidence to official sources and gives every result the same four-column structure.
- Enter the exact research prompt by copying the text below into the chat input:
Research the current beginner features of the Kimi browser assistant. Use official Kimi sources only. Return a table with four columns: feature, what it helps me do, first action to try, and source link.
What does this prompt control?
- The official Kimi sources only constraint narrows the evidence to pages published by Kimi.
- The columns named feature, what it helps me do, first action to try, and source link make each row practical and checkable.
- Submit the prompt.
- Wait for Kimi to finish the response.
You should see a table with the four requested columns. Each row should include a link to an official Kimi source.
That is the upgrade your first draft needed. Every feature now has a path back to supporting evidence.
Missing official source links?
- Confirm that Web-Connected Search remains enabled below the chat input.
- Rerun the exact prompt from this step without changing its official-source constraint.
Still stuck? Help me correct a Kimi research table that is missing official source links.
Audit two cited sources
Source verification means opening a citation and checking the original page for yourself. The domain identifies the publisher while the page title and content test the associated claim.
Before you open the first source, do you expect the official-only constraint to have kept every citation on Kimi's domain?
- Open two source links from different table rows in separate Safari tabs.
- Check that each tab's address uses the kimi.com domain.
- Read each source page title.
- Compare the first source page with its associated table row.
- Compare the second source page with its associated table row.
- Return to the dedicated Kimi session from earlier.
You should confirm that both addresses use kimi.com. Each page title should match the topic cited in its table row.
The content on each page should support the feature or action attached to that link. This confirms that the table is grounded in official evidence.
Does a source fail the audit?
- Return to the dedicated Kimi session from earlier.
- Rerun the exact research prompt from this step.
- Audit two links from the regenerated table before accepting the result.
Need another pair of eyes? Help me audit whether a Kimi source supports its associated feature-table row.
Your feature table now has official evidence behind it. Next up, you will anchor Kimi to two selected guides and separate supported recommendations from unsupported additions.
Analyze Official Guides
Your official-source feature table proved that broad search can find credible references. Those pages can still serve different purposes.
This step uses targeted URL analysis in Kimi to anchor the next answer to two selected guides. You will also separate any recommendation those guides cannot support.
In this step, get ready to:
- Submit two official Kimi guides for direct analysis.
- Generate a beginner-focused synthesis that identifies the supporting guide for every recommendation.
- Produce a separate list of recommendations the guides cannot verify.
Ask for a guide-backed synthesis
Pasting public guide URLs gives Kimi a fixed evidence set. The instruction below limits the synthesis to beginner practice supported by those pages.
- Click the chat input in the dedicated Kimi session from earlier.
- Paste this guide-analysis request into the chat input:
https://www.kimi.com/en/help/new-user-guide/agentic-chat
https://www.kimi.com/en/help/features/search
Read these two official Kimi guides. Summarize only what a beginner should practice. For every recommendation, name the guide that supports it. Do not add features that are absent from both guides.
How Does Targeted URL Analysis Help?
The two URLs define the evidence set for this answer. The prompt requires each recommendation to identify its supporting guide.
- Send the message.
- Wait for Kimi to finish the synthesis.
You should see How to Use Kimi: Model Selection and Chat Basics named in the synthesis. You should also see Kimi Search Guide named.
Every supported recommendation should identify one or both guides. Features absent from both pages should stay outside the synthesis.
Missing One Guide from the Synthesis?
- Compare the two URLs in your sent message with the two URLs shown above.
- Resend the complete guide-analysis request if one URL is missing.
Still missing a guide? Help me check why Kimi analyzed only one of my two official guide URLs.
Separate unverified recommendations
A separate unverified list makes the evidence boundary visible. It keeps unsupported ideas away from the guidance you can trace to the selected pages.
- Click the chat input below the completed synthesis.
- Paste this follow-up prompt:
List any recommendation you could not verify from those two pages.
What Does This Follow-Up Test?
This follow-up asks Kimi to inspect its own synthesis against the two-page evidence set. Any unsupported recommendation becomes visible before it reaches your final plan.
- Send the follow-up prompt.
- Wait for Kimi to finish the list.
You should see a separate list of recommendations that the two pages could not verify. If every recommendation is supported, the list may state that none remain.
Is the Follow-Up Mixing the Results?
- Check that the follow-up message appears after the guide-backed synthesis in the same session.
- Compare the follow-up wording with the prompt shown above.
Still seeing a mixed response? Help me separate Kimi recommendations that are supported by two guides from recommendations those guides cannot verify.
Audit the targeted synthesis
A recommendation becomes traceable when you can identify the page behind it. This audit checks whether the response followed the evidence boundary you set.
Before you check the result, do you expect every supported recommendation to point to the same guide?
- Find How to Use Kimi: Model Selection and Chat Basics in the synthesis.
- Find Kimi Search Guide in the synthesis.
- Check every supported recommendation for a link to one or both guide URLs.
- Review the follow-up response for a separate unverified list.
You should see both official guide names in the synthesis. Every supported recommendation should link to one or both guides.
You have closed the evidence gap. Every supported practice now points back to one of the guides you chose.
Your guide analysis now has a focused evidence trail. Next, you'll turn this research into the final seven-day plan. A citation audit will expose any unsupported claim before you rely on it.
Synthesize and Audit the Plan
Your targeted guide analysis has turned two official Kimi pages into supported beginner practices. Those findings still sit across several messages in your dedicated chat session.
This step combines that evidence into one plan you can follow. A citation audit will expose any claim that still needs support before you rely on it.
In this step, get ready to:
- Synthesize the gathered evidence into a seven-day plan with five fields for every day.
- Remove any unsupported claims identified by the audit.
- Check one early-day source and one later-day source against their attached tasks.
Generate the source-checked plan
A constrained synthesis prompt tells Kimi which evidence it can use. It also gives every day the same practical structure.
- In the dedicated Kimi session from earlier, select the chat input box.
- Build the final plan from the gathered evidence by entering this prompt exactly:
Using only the evidence already gathered in this session, create my final seven-day Kimi learning plan. Each day must include: goal, one 10-minute task, one exact prompt I can send, expected result, and the source that supports the task. Finish with a three-item citation audit that identifies any unsupported claims.
How Does This Prompt Control the Result?
- The opening constraint keeps the plan within the evidence already collected in this session.
- The five required fields turn each day into a task you can follow.
- The three-item audit surfaces guidance that still lacks support.
- Submit the prompt.
- Read Kimi's response from top to bottom.
- Check that the response runs from Day 1 through Day 7.
- Check that every day includes a goal.
- Check that every day includes one 10-minute task.
- Check that every day includes one exact reusable prompt.
- Check that every day includes an expected result.
- Check that every day includes a supporting source.
You now have one actionable seven-day plan built from the research in your session.
Is a Day Missing a Required Field?
- Resubmit the exact prompt above if Kimi skips a required field.
- Compare each day with the five-field checklist before moving to the audit.
Still missing part of the plan? Help me diagnose why Kimi omitted a required field from my seven-day plan.
Resolve the citation audit
The audit separates supported guidance from claims that need more work. Any unsupported claim needs replacement before the plan is ready to use.
- Read each of the three citation audit items.
- Choose the outcome below that matches the audit.
✔️ No unsupported claims
Your first response meets the evidence constraint when all three audit items contain no unsupported claims.
- Confirm that all three audit items report no unresolved unsupported claims.
- Keep the complete plan in the dedicated Kimi session.
ⓧ The audit found unsupported claims
The audit has found guidance that the two official guides do not support. Regenerating the complete plan keeps all seven days consistent.
- Return to the chat input box.
- Replace every flagged claim by entering this follow-up prompt exactly:
Replace every unsupported claim with guidance supported by the two official guides. Then regenerate the complete plan and citation audit.
What Does This Follow-Up Change?
- The replacement constraint points Kimi back to the two official guides already analyzed.
- Regenerating the complete response keeps the corrected tasks aligned with their daily goals.
- A new audit confirms whether the replacement removed every unsupported claim.
- Submit the follow-up prompt.
- Check that Kimi regenerates the complete plan from Day 1 through Day 7.
- Check that every day still contains all five required fields.
- Read the regenerated three-item citation audit.
- Confirm that the regenerated audit contains no unresolved unsupported claims.
Does the New Audit Still Flag a Claim?
- Compare the flagged guidance with the beginner-focused synthesis from earlier.
- Repeat the correction prompt if the flagged guidance remains in the regenerated plan.
Need help tracing the remaining gap? Help me identify why this claim remains unsupported by the two official guides.
You have completed the careful part by removing every unsupported claim from the plan.
Check the early and later sources
A citation earns trust when its page supports the task attached to it. This final check tests the plan at two different points in the week.
Before you open the two sources, ask yourself whether each page will support its attached task. Hold that prediction in mind.
- Choose one source attached to Day 1, Day 2, or Day 3.
- Open the early-day source to determine whether its page supports the attached task.
- Return to the dedicated Kimi session from earlier.
- Choose one source attached to Day 5, Day 6, or Day 7.
- Open the later-day source to determine whether its page supports the attached task.
- Return to the dedicated Kimi session from earlier.
- Review the three-item citation audit to confirm that no unresolved unsupported claims remain.
The early-day page should support its attached task. The later-day page should support its attached task.
The final citation audit should contain no unresolved unsupported claims.
Does a Source Miss the Attached Task?
- Return to the citation audit outcome above.
- Use the unsupported-claims path to regenerate the complete plan.
- Repeat both source checks after Kimi replaces the mismatched task.
Need help repairing the mismatch? Help me align this task with evidence from its attached source.
You have completed the source-checking workflow by turning scattered assistant output into a plan you can trace back to evidence.
Secret mission
Compare Chat with Deep Research
Your manually guided plan puts you in charge of every source choice. Now let Deep Research plan the work autonomously. Compare its cited report with your own.
Clean Up Your Resources
Clean Up Your Resources
Your source-checked plan and cited comparison report are complete. This project created only saved Kimi conversations, so you can keep them, pause by leaving Safari, or delete them with no ongoing resource charges.
Resources you used:
- Dedicated Kimi chat session containing the weak draft, researched evidence, final seven-day plan, and citation audit.
- Completed Kimi Deep Research report containing citations and a comparison with the manually guided plan.
Keep everything running
No action needed. This option keeps the seven-day plan and comparison report available for later practice.
- Leave the dedicated chat session in Kimi.
- Leave the completed Deep Research report in Kimi.
- Return to the final plan when you are ready to begin the seven-day schedule.
Your completed work remains ready to reuse without an active research task.
Pause - I'll come back to this later
Leave the saved work in Kimi while you step away. The Deep Research task is complete, so there is no active process to stop.
- Close Safari when you are ready to pause.
- Return to Kimi with the same account when you want to continue.
The dedicated chat session and completed report remain available for your return.
Delete - I don't want to use this again
This option removes both saved project conversations from Kimi. Deleting a conversation is permanent because it cannot be recovered.
- Copy any plan content or comparison notes you want to keep before continuing.
- Switch back to Kimi in Safari.
- Find the dedicated conversation containing the seven-day plan.
- Choose delete for that conversation.
- Find the conversation containing the completed Deep Research report.
- Choose delete for that conversation.
Once both conversations are deleted, neither one appears in Kimi. That clears all teardownable project data from the web app.
Nice Work!
Nice Work!
You made it! Your dedicated Kimi session now holds a complete seven-day learning plan backed by checked official sources.
You can now demonstrate source verification by tracing the journey from an unverified answer to an audited result.
You've learned how to:
- Created a deliberately weak draft with no citations. Rebuilt it as an evidence table using Web-Connected Search.
- Used targeted URL analysis to anchor recommendations in two official Kimi guides. Checked that each recommendation matched its cited page.
- Produced a source-checked seven-day plan with daily goals, tasks, prompts, expected results, and supporting sources. Used citation auditing to remove every unresolved unsupported claim.
- Completed the optional Secret Mission by comparing your manually guided plan with a cited Deep Research report.
