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.

| | 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 |

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 — 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

Morph PPT Animation Demo — Smooth Transitions from One Prompt

AionUi includes a dedicated Morph PPT assistant. It doesn't just build static slides — it turns your content into dynamic, story-driven presentations. Provide a topic/outline (or style reference), and get a Morph deck with coherent transitions.

• Not a typical PPT generator — focuses on Morph storytelling with continuous slide-to-slide motion
• Built-in end-to-end workflow — planning, generation, quality checks, and iteration
• Style-aligned co-creation — use reference images/styles to match your visual taste quickly
• Generate and preview instantly — open .ppt / .pptx in AionUi preview without switching apps

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

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

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.
