AionUi

AionUi is a free, open-source desktop application that provides a unified interface for coordinating multiple AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) on your local machine. It enables file access, web browsing, document generation, and 24/7 automation via scheduling, with built-in multi-agent team collaboration.

What AionUi is

TypeScript-based AI agent orchestration platform with a built-in agent engine, MCP (Model Context Protocol) support, multi-agent parallel execution, and integrations for 20+ CLI agents. Includes office document generation via OfficeCLI, cron-based task scheduling, and remote access via WebUI and messaging platforms (Telegram, WeChat, etc.).

Quickstart

Get the AionUi source

Clone the repository and explore it locally.

terminalbash
git clone https://github.com/iOfficeAI/AionUi.gitcd AionUi# follow the project's README for install & configuration

Best use cases

Multi-Agent Workflow Automation

Coordinate multiple AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes) as a team to break down complex tasks, delegate subtasks in parallel, and consolidate results—ideal for engineering teams needing autonomous task delegation with human oversight.

Document & Report Generation at Scale

Leverage built-in Office assistants to generate editable PPT, Word, and Excel files with AI-driven content. Useful for research teams, business analysts, and content creators needing production-ready documents without manual formatting.

24/7 Unattended Task Automation

Use cron scheduling and YOLO/full-auto modes to run AI agents on a fixed schedule (e.g., daily report generation, log analysis) without manual intervention or approval prompts.

Implementation considerations

  • API key management: users must provide and manage keys for Claude, Gemini, Codex, etc. Review your organization's API key storage and rotation policies.
  • Agent auto-detection relies on standard CLI tool installations. Ensure target agents (Claude Code, Hermes, etc.) are properly installed and discoverable on the user's system.
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration requires configuration once in AionUi, then auto-syncs to all agents. Test MCP tool connectivity before enabling in production workflows.
  • Remote access via WebUI, Telegram, WeChat, etc. introduces cross-platform security boundaries; review authentication and transport security for your use case.
  • Cron-based scheduling and full-auto modes remove approval prompts, increasing autonomy but reducing human oversight. Enable cautiously; test on non-critical tasks first.

When to avoid it — and what to weigh

  • Requirement for SaaS/Hosted-Only Deployment — AionUi is designed for local desktop installation (macOS, Windows, Linux). If your organization requires a hosted, multi-tenant SaaS platform, this tool is unsuitable.
  • Heavy Reliance on Proprietary AI Model Fine-Tuning — AionUi is an orchestration layer for existing models (Claude, Gemini, Qwen) via API keys. It does not provide model training, fine-tuning, or custom model deployment.
  • Production Compliance in Highly Regulated Industries — No explicit security audit, SOC 2, or compliance certifications mentioned. Organizations in healthcare, fintech, or government requiring formal security posture should conduct thorough review before adoption.
  • Low-Resource or Air-Gapped Environments — The application requires external API calls (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and network connectivity. Not suitable for completely offline or air-gapped deployments.

Apache-2.0 permits commercial use without royalty. You may use, modify, and distribute AionUi in commercial products provided you include a copy of the Apache license and a NOTICE file. However, 'commercial use' here means using the software itself; responsibility for downstream model API costs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) remains with the user. Legal review recommended for enterprise deployments involving sensitive data handling.

Security considerations

No explicit security audit or formal threat model disclosed. Key considerations: (1) API keys are user-managed and stored locally—implement secure storage (OS keychain or vault integration recommended). (2) Remote access via WebUI and messaging platforms introduces network-facing endpoints; ensure proper authentication and encryption (HTTPS, TLS). (3) Full-auto and YOLO modes allow agents to execute file operations without approval, increasing attack surface if agent execution is compromised. (4) No mention of input sanitization, prompt injection defenses, or data isolation in multi-user scenarios. Recommend security review for sensitive workloads before production use.

Alternatives to consider

Claude Desktop (Anthropic's Official Client)

Native Claude Code integration with built-in tools and file access. Simpler but single-model only; no multi-agent orchestration or office document generation.

Continue.dev (Copilot for IDE)

IDE-native AI agent with code generation and chat. Better for developers coding directly in their editor; lacks office document features and desktop app form factor.

n8n or Zapier (No-Code Automation)

General-purpose workflow automation with AI integrations. More flexible for enterprise workflows but requires workflow-building expertise and may not offer the same agent autonomy model.

AionUi FAQ

Do I need to install each CLI agent separately (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) before using AionUi?
For the built-in agent, no—it ships with AionUi and requires zero setup. For multi-agent mode, pre-install your desired agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) on your system. AionUi auto-detects them; you don't need to manually configure each one.
Can I run AionUi on a server or in the cloud?
AionUi is designed as a desktop application for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It can be deployed on a headless server via WebUI remote access, but there is no dedicated SaaS or hosted offering. Requires review for server deployment practices.
What happens to my API keys and data when I use AionUi?
API keys are user-supplied and stored locally on your machine. Data (files, chat history) is stored locally by default. Remote access via WebUI or messaging platforms will transmit data over the network; review your privacy requirements before enabling remote access.
Does AionUi support custom or fine-tuned models?
No. AionUi is an orchestration layer for existing models (Claude, Gemini, Qwen, etc.) accessed via API. It does not support custom model training, fine-tuning, or local model hosting (e.g., Ollama integration not mentioned in available data).
