Cowork — AI Agents That Work Alongside You

AionUi is more than a chat client. It's a Cowork platform where AI agents work alongside you on your computer — reading files, writing code, browsing the web, and automating tasks. You see everything the agent does, and you're always in control.

Built-in Agent — Install & Go, Zero Configuration

AionUi ships with a complete AI agent engine. Unlike tools that require you to install CLI agents separately, AionUi works the moment you install it.

• No CLI tools to install — the agent engine is built in
• No complex setup — paste any API key to get started
• Full agent capabilities — file read/write, web search, image generation, MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools
• Ready-to-use assistants — 21 built-in professional assistants (Cowork, PPT Creator, Word Creator, Word Form Creator, Excel Creator, Morph PPT, Morph PPT 3D, Pitch Deck Creator, Dashboard Creator, Academic Paper Writer, Financial Model Creator, and more) ready to use immediately

Office assistants — PPT, Word & Excel

These tracks match what the app actually ships: Morph PPT presets and the pptx / docx / xlsx skills (see assistant/ presets and skills/ in the repo). Want document/table output? AionUi’s built-in OfficeCLI helps PPT (Morph), Word (.docx), and Excel (.xlsx/.xlsm/.csv) go from request to deliverable faster and more reliably. The three assistant types map to file workflows, and the final outputs are directly editable and reusable.

PPT assistant

Output: editable Morph PPT (.pptx) Morph-animated slide-to-slide transitions with coherent story pacing; powered by OfficeCLI.

Word assistant

Output: editable Word (.docx) Paper/thesis writing and production-ready document editing via the docx skill; powered by OfficeCLI.

Excel assistant

Output: usable Excel (.xlsx/.xlsm/.csv) Generate/refresh spreadsheets with xlsx for analysis, auto-formatting, and charts; powered by OfficeCLI.

Multi-Agent Mode — Already Have CLI Agents? Bring Them In

If you already use Claude Code, Codex, Hermes Agent, or OpenClaw, AionUi auto-detects them and lets you Cowork with all of them — alongside the built-in agent.

Supported Agents: Built-in Agent (zero setup) • Claude Code • Codex • Qwen Code • Goose AI • OpenClaw • Augment Code • CodeBuddy • Kimi CLI • OpenCode • Factory Droid • GitHub Copilot • Qoder CLI • Mistral Vibe • Nanobot • Aion CLI (aionrs, the Rust-based backend service shipped with AionUi) • Snow CLI • Hermes Agent • Cursor Agent and more

• Auto Detection — automatically recognizes installed CLI tools
• Unified Interface — one Cowork platform for all your AI agents
• Parallel Sessions — run multiple agents simultaneously with independent context
• MCP Unified Management — configure MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools once, automatically sync to all agents — no need to configure each agent separately
• YOLO Mode (auto-approve all agent actions without manual confirmation) / Full-Auto Mode — one click to bypass permission prompts; all agents support full-auto mode for unattended execution

Team Mode — Coordinated Multi-Agent Collaboration

Run multiple AI agents as an organized team: a Leader agent receives your instructions, breaks them into subtasks, and delegates to Teammate agents via a built-in Team MCP Server. Teammates execute in parallel, share results through an async mailbox, and write to a shared task board.

• Parallel multi-agent execution — Leader breaks tasks into subtasks and delegates to Teammate agents running in parallel; each Teammate uses its own model via ACP (Agent Communication Protocol, AionUi's multi-agent coordination layer), Gemini, or Aionrs
• Leader orchestration — Leader assigns, tracks, and aggregates results; supported backends include Claude Code, Codex, Hermes Agent, Gemini, Snow CLI, and Aion CLI
• Team-isolated workspace — all agents share the same folder; each has its own permission dialog with sidebar badge for pending approvals

Any API Key, Full Cowork Agent Power

Other AI apps give you a chatbox with your API key. AionUi gives you a full Cowork agent.

Same agent capabilities — file read/write, web search, image generation, tool use — regardless of which model powers it. AionUi supports 30+ AI platforms including cloud services and local deployments.

Extensible Assistants & Skills

Extensible assistant system with 21 built-in professional assistants and a three-tier skill system. Create and manage your own assistants and skills.

• Create Custom Assistants — Define your own assistants with custom rules and capabilities
• Three-tier Skills — Builtin skills (shipped with AionUi), custom skills (your own), and Extension skills (contributed by third-party extensions); enable/disable per conversation with the skill indicator
• Per-conversation Control — A skill indicator in the chat header shows active skills for the current conversation; search and exclude skills as needed

AionUi supports three skill layers: built-in skills (shipped with the app), custom skills (user-defined), and extension skills (loaded from the Extension SDK).

Cowork from Anywhere

Your 24/7 AI assistant — access AionUi from any device, anywhere.
