# Moonshot AI

Let’s walk through how to use Kimi K2 on TypingMind!

## Step 1: Create a Moonshot API account

Go to [https://platform.kimi.ai/console](https://platform.kimi.ai/console) and create a new Moonshot API account.

## Step 2: Set up Moonshot API account

To use the model via API, you’ll need to add balance to your account.

Visit [https://platform.kimi.ai/console/pay](https://platform.kimi.ai/console/pay) to top up — you can start with as little as \$1 to test it out.

## Step 3: Get your Moonshot API key

Go to [https://platform.kimi.ai/console/api-keys](https://platform.kimi.ai/console/api-keys) and create a new API key.

Be sure to copy and save it securely — you’ll need it to set up Kimi K2 on TypingMind.

## Step 4: Use Kimi models on TypingMind

* Go to [**typingmind.com**](https://www.typingmind.com/)
* Navigate the Models menu on the left sidebar → Switch to API key tab
* Input the copied API key for Moonshot.
