AIAssistant

Cross-platform desktop app for chatting with LLMs and working with code projects. Provider-agnostic: you configure your own LLM endpoints (Ollama, OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic, OpenRouter, llama.cpp, vllm, …), system prompt, tools, MCP servers, and external code agents (cline / opencode / claude-code, etc.). No login or sign-up. No required online accounts. No payments or paywalls. No tracking. No brands. Just you and your favorite useful tools.

Features

• Chats & projects. Standalone chats and Projects (sets of related chats with shared context and connected directories).
• Provider-agnostic LLM. OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic providers behind a unified Provider trait with streaming, tool use, thinking blocks, and vision (multipart images).
• External code agents. Bridge to cline, opencode, claude-code and others via PTY — with run monitoring, diff view, and approve/reject workflow.
• MCP. Model Context Protocol client with server management, tool discovery, and WebUI embedding.
• RAG. Per-project retrieval-augmented generation with embedding and vector store.
• Built-in tools. Configurable tool set alongside MCP-provided tools.
• Prompt library. Saved prompts with favorites, per-chat system prompts, and per-project rules.
• Project task board. Kanban and list views for project tasks; tasks can be launched as agent runs.
• Activity stats. Token usage, message counts, and timing metrics with a daily activity graph.
• Command palette. Quick navigation and actions (Ctrl+P).
