AionUi

AionUi is a desktop application that coordinates, automates, and runs multiple AI CLI agents and built-in assistants locally.

AionUi is an open-source desktop application that unites CLI agents and specialized assistants in a single workspace. It auto-detects locally installed tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI, allowing users to run them in parallel or team them up. The software includes over 20 preconfigured assistants for tasks like writing code, building financial models, designing presentations, and creating 3D games. Users can connect any model via custom endpoints and API keys, sync MCP servers across agents, and schedule automated recurring tasks via cron. Native file generation produces PPT, Excel, Word, and PDF files directly on the machine without cloud uploads.
