✨ Cowork in Action · 🤔 Why Choose AionUi? · 🚀 Quick Start · 💬 Community
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.
| Traditional AI Chat Clients | AionUi (Cowork) | |
|---|---|---|
| AI can operate on your files | Limited or No | Yes — built-in agent with full file access |
| AI can execute multi-step tasks | Limited | Yes — autonomous with your approval |
| Remote access from phone | Rarely | WebUI + Telegram / Lark / DingTalk |
| Scheduled automation | No | Cron — 24/7 unattended |
| Multiple AI Agents at once | No | Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Qwen Code, and 12+ more — auto-detected, unified interface |
| Price | Free / Paid | Free & Open Source |
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 — sign in with Google or paste any API key
- Full agent capabilities — file read/write, web search, image generation, MCP tools
- Ready-to-use assistants — 11+ built-in professional assistants (Cowork, PPTX Generator, PDF to PPT, 3D Game, UI/UX Pro Max, and more) ready to use immediately
If you already use Claude Code, Codex, or Qwen Code, 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 • iFlow CLI • CodeBuddy • Kimi CLI • OpenCode • Factory Droid • GitHub Copilot • Qoder CLI • Mistral Vibe • Nanobot 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
Other AI apps give you a chatbox with your API key. AionUi gives you a full Cowork agent.
