The news: a shared entry for automatic tasks

On October 29, 2026, Kimi Work released version 3.2.22. It replaced Scheduled with Task Center, a single entry for viewing and managing conversation tasks, widget tasks and other scheduled tasks. This update brings automatic tasks together; it does not mean creating a new task for every chat. Official release notes

Kimi Work is the Work mode in Kimi's desktop client, helping users handle research materials, files and reports on a computer. Widgets are interactive pages generated in a conversation. A Live Widget is linked to an automatic task, so its content updates as that task runs. Product overview How widgets relate to tasks

Why it helps: find a task before deciding to keep it

Suppose you have set up a daily industry digest and added a regularly updated event card to a dashboard. A week later, when reviewing your automatic tasks, the first questions are which tasks are still running and what each one is for—not how to create another copy of the same reminder.

A shared entry makes it easier to take stock of existing tasks, then return to their outputs to decide whether they still serve a purpose. If an event has ended, for example, further updates may no longer be useful. For widget tasks, the dashboard's run times and statuses can help distinguish no new content, no recent run and a task that is still switched on. After checking the status, open the actual output to inspect its content.

How to try it: start with an existing automatic task

Update the Kimi desktop client to a release that includes 3.2.22 and sign in to Work mode. The official system requirements are an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 12 or later, or Windows 10 or later. The number of widget tasks that can run simultaneously varies by plan. Client requirements Widget task limits

  1. Find an existing task in Task Center. Open Task Center in Work and identify the automatic task by its name and purpose. Older versions may still call the entry Scheduled; a changed name is not a reason to create the same task again.
  2. Return to the content it serves. For a task that updates a widget, open Dashboard in the left sidebar and find the relevant Live Widget. The widget is the page that displays results; the task keeps it updated. They are different objects.
  3. Check recent runs. Hover over the relevant Live Widget to inspect its linked task's name and description, along with the times and statuses of its latest 10 runs. If a weekly report has not changed, for example, inspect the run history and then its source material before concluding that automatic updates have failed. Task information in the dashboard
  4. Switch off a task you no longer need. The task linked to this widget can be switched off in the dashboard. Temporarily stopping updates does not require deleting the entire dashboard. The official guide says deleting a dashboard also permanently deletes its widgets and associated tasks.

Task Center provides a shared place to find automatic tasks, while Dashboard lets you inspect and manage tasks linked to widgets. A shared management entry does not guarantee execution when the computer is offline. Check each task's data, plugins and execution requirements.
