Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Consider Aiaw when its workspace organization, plugin system or MCP support fits a chat workflow, while accounting for its deprecated status and the successor project Nya AI.

Who it is for

  • People who want separate workspaces for different conversation themes and assistants.
  • Users seeking an AI chat interface with plugins, MCP resources, prompts and tools.
  • People who want local-first conversation storage with cross-device sync after login.

Documented uses

  • Organize conversations in themed workspaces and nested folders.
  • Use supported AI providers for chat and follow-up tasks.
  • Connect MCP servers using STDIO or HTTP and work with their tools, prompts and resources.
  • Turn parts of assistant responses into editable, versioned Artifacts.
  • Use SearXNG-based web search and URL crawling within chat workflows.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository lists Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and Web (PWA) as supported platforms. Cloud synchronization is available after login; local-first data is described as accessible offline.

  • The project is marked deprecated; its repository points to Nya AI as its successor and provides migration documentation.
  • Aiaw lists support for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI and Azure, among other providers.
  • Local-first storage and cloud sync are distinct: cloud synchronization requires login.
  • MCP support includes resources, prompts and tools, with STDIO and HTTP connection methods.
  • The repository lists a BSD-3-Clause license and TypeScript as its primary language.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
