AI agents

AionUi

A free desktop app where AI agents work alongside you on your computer: reading files, writing documents and automating tasks.

What it does

AionUi is a "cowork" app: AI agents work on your computer with you, reading and writing files, browsing the web and running multi-step tasks. You see what the agent does and approve its actions.

It has its own built-in agent, so you can start by pasting in a key for an AI model. It also ships ready-made assistants for jobs like making PowerPoint slides, Word documents and Excel spreadsheets.

If you already use coding agents like Claude Code or Codex, it can detect them and run them in the same window. You can also reach it from your phone and schedule tasks to run unattended.

Who it's for

People who want an AI helper that can work with files on their computer, and users of command-line agents who want a friendlier interface.

Can I use it without coding?

Yes. Its makers say it works as soon as it's installed; you just paste in a key from an AI model provider. New to this? Start here.
