Tawi is a multimodal AI assistant that runs on your desktop. Chat, write code, browse the web, execute shell commands, and automate workflows — with local models that never leave your machine, or cloud models when you need more power.
Capabilities
Real-time streaming conversations with multi-model reasoning. Attach files, images, PDFs. Organize with conversations and search.
Integrated editor with syntax highlighting, multi-file tabs, Git integration. AI reviews your code, suggests fixes, writes tests.
Headless Chrome control via DevTools Protocol. Navigate, click, extract data, take screenshots — fully agentic web interaction.
Execute shell commands with security sandboxing. Monitor CPU, RAM, GPU in real-time. Automate system tasks.
Orchestrate teams of specialized agents — coder, researcher, debugger, reviewer — working in coordinated phases.
