Feedback on the Kimi chat (web version and the phone app)

Hello, love your model! But since you asking for a feedback, I’d like to request a few features that would allow more flexible editing and exploration of prompts within conversations.

  1. Editable Prompt Versioning:
    Currently, when I edit an earlier prompt (Prompt 1), the entire conversation thread that followed is deleted and replaced with responses to the new version of the prompt. I suggest implementing a system where editing a prompt creates a new “branch” or version, but the previous version and its responses are preserved. This would let me switch between different prompt versions and their respective outputs, without losing the original context or replies.

  2. Unlock Prompt Editing After Replies:
    Right now, once I send Prompt 1 and get a response, and then follow up with Prompt 2 (a continuation), the system locks Prompt 1 from further editing. I would like the ability to still edit Prompt 1 even after continuing the conversation. Ideally, this should also trigger a branch or version history, allowing me to experiment with changes to the original prompt without losing access to the conversation flow that followed it.

  3. Add “Retry/Regenerate” Button to Mobile App Responses

    On the mobile app version of your chat interface, there is currently no “Retry” or “Regenerate” button under the AI’s response—unlike the web version, which does include this feature.

    This makes it difficult to quickly get alternative responses or variations to the same prompt when using the app. I often want to explore different generations without needing to retype or copy-paste the original prompt manually. And since there is not editable prompt versioning right now, retyping the prompt or editing it erases the previous version, so i can’t really compare the two results?

    I’d like to request that you add the Retry/Regenerate option under each AI message on the mobile app, the same way it exists on the browser/web version. It would significantly improve usability and consistency across platforms.

With kind regards, Nomus.

Hi Nomus, thank you for the thoughtful write-up!

This channel was mainly for the underlying API and developer-facing tooling—such as api usage, agent developing, tool calling, caching, the playground, model deployment, etc.—rather than the end-user consumer app (Kimi Chat). That said, I’ve already passed your entire message along to the product and mobile teams so they can see the feature requests in their original form.

Regarding the “Retry/Regenerate” button on mobile: on my end I can regenerate the last assistant response by tapping my own last prompt (the one with the dashed underline). If I tap it but then simply confirm without changing anything, the model re-generates an answer to the same prompt (no re-typing needed). That may close to the “Retry” function.

Thanks again for the detailed feedback!

Bests,
Yu
