iOfficeAI/AionUi

A free, open-source desktop application that runs AI agents locally and unifies many command-line coding agents behind one Cowork interface.

What it is

AionUi is a cross-platform Electron desktop app that turns AI agents into a graphical Cowork workspace where agents can read and write files, browse the web, run code, and produce documents on your machine. It ships a built-in agent that works with any API key, and it also auto-detects and drives external CLI agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI through a single interface. It targets users who want a local, model-agnostic assistant that can act on their files and run unattended.

Key features

  • A built-in agent engine that works immediately with any provider API key, bundling 21 professional assistants (Cowork, PPT/Word/Excel creators, academic paper writer, and more).
  • Multi-agent mode that auto-detects installed CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Qwen Code, OpenCode, and others) and runs them in a unified interface with parallel sessions.
  • Team mode where a Leader agent delegates subtasks to Teammate agents that execute in parallel and share a task board via a built-in Team MCP server.
  • Remote access through a WebUI mode and chat-platform integrations (Telegram, Lark, DingTalk, WeChat).
  • Scheduled tasks via cron expressions, fixed intervals, or one-time triggers for unattended runs.
  • A preview panel for 10+ output formats (PDF, Office documents, code, Markdown, images, diffs) with editing and Git-based version history, plus Office document generation via the companion OfficeCLI.

Tech stack

  • TypeScript on Electron, built and run with electron-vite; current version 2.1.39.
  • React 19 with the Arco Design component library, CodeMirror and Monaco editors, and i18next for localization.
  • Local storage in SQLite via better-sqlite3.
  • Provider SDKs including @anthropic-ai/sdk, @google/genai, openai, @aws-sdk/client-bedrock, and the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk; agent integration via @agentclientprotocol/sdk.
  • Chat and web integrations using grammy (Telegram), the Lark/Feishu SDK, Express, and WebSockets; scheduling via croner.
  • Packaged for macOS, Windows, and Linux with electron-builder; workspaces managed with Bun.

When to reach for it

  • Wanting a local desktop assistant that can operate on your own files and run multi-step tasks with your approval.
  • Already using CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) and wanting one GUI that detects and runs them together.
  • Needing scheduled, unattended automation or remote control of an agent from a phone via WebUI or chat apps.
  • Generating editable Office documents (PPTX, DOCX, XLSX) from natural-language requests.

When not to reach for it

  • Users who want a purely hosted, zero-install web service; AionUi is a desktop app you run yourself.
  • Environments where granting an agent full local file access and auto-approve (YOLO/full-auto) modes is unacceptable.
  • Anyone needing a single vetted model with vendor support rather than a broad, community-driven multi-agent aggregator.
  • Machines below the recommended 4GB memory and 500MB storage.

Maturity signal

Created in August 2025, AionUi has climbed past 30,000 stars with commits pushed within the last day, reflecting fast growth and active development rather than a settled product. The large open-issue count (nearly 700) is consistent with a young project moving quickly and absorbing heavy user interest. It is Apache-2.0 licensed with frequent releases (version 2.1.39) and multi-language documentation.

Alternatives

  • Cherry Studio — use instead when you want a desktop multi-provider chat client without CLI-agent orchestration or unattended automation.
  • LibreChat or Open WebUI — use instead when you want a self-hosted, browser-based multi-user chat front end rather than a local desktop cowork app.
  • Claude Cowork — use instead when you are macOS-only, want a first-party Anthropic app, and are content with Claude as the sole model (per the README's own comparison).
  • Running the CLI agents directly (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) — use instead when you prefer the terminal and do not need a GUI or aggregation.

Notes

AionUi positions itself explicitly against Claude Cowork in the README, framing itself as a cross-platform, any-model version. All data is stored locally in a SQLite database with nothing uploaded to a server, and MCP configuration is set once and synced automatically to every connected agent rather than configured per agent.
