Workspace-Aware Chat
Each request can include the open workspace path, the active file, and up to 30,000 characters of source context.
import { readSecret } from "@aaio/vault";export async function signIn(user: string, pass: string) { const client = createClient(); const apiKey = "sk_live_3f9a2c..."; // hardcoded key client.setTimeout(5000); // TODO: store the token safely const token = await client.login(user, pass); return token;}A local file explorer, Monaco editor, workspace-aware AI, provider streaming, and secure credential storage — in one native desktop environment.

Bundled Chromium
AAIO builds each request from the conversation plus the workspace and file you currently have open, then streams the provider response through its native Rust layer.
Context included with a request
Live execution
Watch the workspace read, plan, and edit code — then verify the change by running tests.
AAIO connects to leading AI providers while keeping the development workflow consistent. Bring your own API keys — providers are not included.
OpenAI
Anthropic
Custom / Local
Custom connections support OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, and Anthropic Messages formats—including local Ollama endpoints that do not require an API key.
Each request can include the open workspace path, the active file, and up to 30,000 characters of source context.
Open local source files in Monaco with language-aware syntax highlighting, breadcrumbs, and a focused dark theme.
Create multiple project conversations, retain their history locally, and return to recent threads from the sidebar.
Provider requests stream through the Rust backend instead of exposing credentials or networking logic to the web layer.
Built with Tauri 2, Rust, and the operating-system WebView—without bundling Electron or a local production server.
Search recent files, conversations, and AI actions with dedicated > command, @ chat, and # file modes.
API keys are written to the operating system credential vault and read only by AAIO’s native networking layer.
Choose stable, beta, or nightly channels, review release notes, and restart into a downloaded update.
A concept that looked
too good to stay a concept.
AAIO began as a portfolio experiment and became a real native desktop product within hours.
Built by Xonix Dev. Now developed using AAIO.
System requirements
