## What it is

Aetox is a desktop application for Windows that runs an AI agent against your own machine.
You describe what needs doing; it reads and writes real files, runs real commands in a real
shell, and drives a real browser you can watch.

It is one self-contained 48.5 MB executable. There is no runtime to install alongside it, no
`node_modules`, no bundled copy of Chromium. It talks to whichever model you point it at —
a hosted API, a subscription you already pay for, or a 9B/35B running in LM Studio or Ollama on
your own GPU (your data never leaves your machine or country — hook it up to Ollama and not a single byte goes anywhere) — and the capability comes from the app rather than from the model's parameters.
That is why a small local model can still read a picture, transcribe a recording, and hand you a
deck that opens in PowerPoint: `image_ocr`, `audio_transcribe` and the slide exporter are the
app's, not the model's.

Two concrete jobs, to make that less abstract. *"Go through this folder of receipts and give me
one spreadsheet"* — it OCRs each image, works out the totals in a JavaScript interpreter
compiled into the binary and shows you the script beside the answer, then writes a real `.xlsx`
with live formulas. *"Find why the login test is flaky"* — it greps the repo, runs the suite in
a terminal tab you can watch, reads the failure, and edits the file.

**The interface ships in Thai and English, and Thai is the default.** Every string exists in
both; the language switch is in Settings and in the first-run wizard. This README is in English;
[ภาษาไทย is here](README.th.md).

## Highlights

- **Four rooms in the same window as the conversation** — slides, browser, files and terminal. The
  agent works in the room you are looking at, and you can reach in at any point. The Code door adds
  a fifth: Git.
- **It builds slide decks** — one self-contained `.html` file that is yours, editable by hand, and
  openable on any machine with a browser. Exports as `.pdf`, `.png` or `.jpg`.
- **The browser control layer is ours** — the window is WebView2; the layer that drives it we wrote.
  A model that cannot see images clicks the right control, with no guessing at coordinates.
- **It builds websites and systems, not just code in a chat box** — a file tree, a Monaco editor,
  unlimited real PTY terminal tabs, `git`, `grep` and `glob` over the whole tree, and language
  servers the app installs itself.
- **Capability comes from the app, not from model parameters** — Thai/English OCR and offline
  speech-to-text are tools the app drives, so a 9B/35B model on your own GPU does these jobs as
  well as a frontier one.
- **22 model providers** — cloud (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, and more) and local
  (LM Studio, Ollama), switchable mid-conversation with context intact. Full list under
  [Everything it can do](#everything-it-can-do).

## Install

Windows 10 or later, x64. **You do not need an API key to start** — a built-in `aetox` provider
ships five test models that exercise the real machinery (real tool calls, a real delegation to a
sub-agent, a long reasoning stream), so you can see what the app does before signing up for
anything.

**Installer** — [aetox-amd64-installer.exe](https://github.com/Mikedev115/Aetox/releases/latest/download/aetox-amd64-installer.exe) (21.3 MB)

It also fetches and SHA256-verifies the outside programs Aetox uses: WebView2, Tesseract (with
Thai), poppler, ffmpeg, and a starter whisper model for offline speech. Any one of them failing
skips that step with an explanation rather than aborting the install.

**Scoop**

```powershell
scoop install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mikedev115/Aetox/main/sc
