AideAgent

A desktop assistant that puts AI on your machine. Not just chat — it actually does the work.

What this is

AideAgent is an AI desktop app that runs on your computer (cloud models are supported too). It's not a chat window — it can call tools, read your notes, drive a browser, connect to your WeChat, and even hand the wheel to a local OpenCode CLI as the agent engine.

If you're the kind of person who wants AI to *do things for you*, not just *talk to you* — this project is for you.

The problem it solves

Off-the-shelf AI tools are awkward in their own ways:

Web-based chat — the conversation ends, and the AI can't do anything else.
Other desktop AI — either chat-only, hard to extend, or your data lives in the cloud.
CLI agents — no GUI, high setup bar, brutal for non-developers.

AideAgent tries to cover all three:

Chat (the input box in the lower-left is the conversation)
Act (tools, commands, web search, notes search, file edits)
Reach you (WeChat bridge, local model support, your data stays on disk)
Extend (MCP protocol, Skills system, add whatever you want)
Two runtimes, one app — flip a card on the welcome screen between the built-in AideAgent loop and a local OpenCode CLI

Two runtimes — pick on the welcome screen

The very first thing you see is a card chooser with two engines:

AideAgent — the built-in agent loop. Custom tool executor, in-process reasoning, fast iteration. This is the default.
OpenCode — if you have the opencode CLI installed locally, AideAgent can hand the entire session over to it via the Agent Client Protocol. You get the full OpenCode experience without leaving the GUI.

When you pick OpenCode but the CLI isn't on `PATH`, an install guide po
