Getting started

The Kiwi web interface lets you use the platform directly in the browser: sign in, work with agents, hold conversations, and manage your documents. To embed Kiwi in your own product instead, see Deliver into your product.

Access is granted through your organization's SSO; contact the Kiwi team if you do not yet have it. You also need an agent to work with — either one shared with you, or one you create yourself.

Sign in

Kiwi uses single sign-on (SSO):

  1. Open Kiwi. The sign-in screen reads "Sign in to Kiwi".
  2. Select "Continue with Leona SSO".
  3. Authenticate with Leona, your organization's identity provider.
  4. You're returned to Kiwi and signed in.

You stay signed in for the session; "Sign out" in the sidebar clears it. Most actions are open to everyone, but some — registering models, or creating public agents — require an administrator role; without it, those controls are hidden or read-only.

Find your way around

You navigate from a sidebar with six areas:

  • Dashboard — counts and quick actions; the landing screen after sign-in.
  • Chat — hold conversations with an agent: choose the agent, attach files or collections, and send messages.
  • Library — upload and manage documents, track processing status, and organize them into collections.
  • Agents — create, edit, and share agents, grouped as My agents, Shared with me, and Public.
  • Models — view the available models; registering or changing them requires an admin role.
  • Settings — light/dark mode, session details, and sign out.

Your first conversation

From the Dashboard, select "Start New Chat" (or pick a recent agent) to open Chat. Open Agent Settings to choose the agent, optionally override the model, and set the reasoning level. Attach files or a collection if you want the agent to work from them, and toggle web search on or off. Type your message and send it — the response streams back, showing the agent's reasoning, the tools it uses, and any media it generates. Use "New Session" to start fresh.

Example ask

"Summarize the document I just attached into 5 bullet points."

Next, bring in your own material — see Ground agents in your documents.
