Weekly AI Tool roundup: Kimi CLI, ChatDB, FlowithOS, Cursor 2.0, Astron Agent

**Kimi CLI** – MoonshotAI released a technical preview of its open‑source agentic coding tool, Kimi CLI. It offers a shell‑like UI that lets users toggle between Agent mode and standard shell commands with Ctrl‑K. By supporting the ACP protocol, Kimi CLI can integrate with various ACP clients to provide a more graphical UI experience. GitHub repository: https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli.

**ChatDB (ChatExcel upgrade)** – ChatExcel introduced ChatDB, allowing users to query databases using natural language instead of SQL. The system connects directly to databases, enabling large‑scale data analysis, visual chart creation, dashboards, and one‑click PPT report generation. Website: https://chatexcel.com/.

**Tencent Hunyuan AI Podcast** – Tencent’s Hunyuan launched China’s first interactive AI podcast. Listeners can interrupt hosts and guests at any time, asking questions via voice or text. The platform also lets users choose podcast style, number of hosts, and voice tones, supporting rapid podcast content creation. URL: https://hunyuan.tencent.com/agent?skill=aiPodcast.

**FlowithOS** – Flowith released FlowithOS, billed as the world’s first AI‑agent operating system that lets agents interact with the digital world like humans. It includes a browser, terminal, and scripting capabilities, automating complex tasks such as file management and game operations. The author’s hands‑on test found it “surprisingly impressive” compared with other AI browsers, especially OpenAI’s Atlas, which was described as “hard to use.” FlowithOS’s functionality is similar to Perplexity’s Comet, but FlowithOS integrates the broader Flowith platform. The author notes that most AI browsers still struggle with ambiguous tasks and often fail to verify intent with users. Additional AI‑browser benchmarks are linked in the original article.

**Cursor 2.0** – Cursor announced version 2.0, introducing a self‑developed code‑generation model called Composer that can complete most programming tasks within 30 seconds. The UI shifts from a file‑centric view to an agent‑centric design, allowing multiple agents to work on different implementation details. Token output now exceeds 200 tokens per second. New features include parallel multi‑agent collaboration, cross‑model prompt execution, an integrated browser for running and testing code, and real‑time voice‑to‑code conversion.
