In plain English

AionUi is a free, open-source desktop application that acts as a unified front-end for AI coding agents and assistants. Instead of running individual AI tools from the command line or juggling multiple interfaces, AionUi brings them all together in one app with a graphical interface. The core concept is "Cowork", AI agents that work alongside you on your actual computer, reading and writing files, browsing the web, running code, and completing multi-step tasks autonomously with your approval. Unlike a simple chat interface, the agents can take real actions on your system. AionUi ships with a built-in agent that requires no setup, but it also auto-detects other CLI-based agents you may already have installed, such as Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor Agent, and around 20 more, letting you switch between or combine them from one interface. It includes built-in assistants for office productivity tasks, generating PowerPoint files, Word documents, and Excel spreadsheets directly from instructions. You can also set up scheduled automations that run unattended around the clock, and access the app remotely via a web interface or messaging platforms. You would use AionUi if you want a single, organized interface for multiple AI agents and coding tools without switching between terminals and apps. It is written in TypeScript and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
