KOTONIA DESKTOP
A local AI agent you can just download and run
kotonia-desktop is a Tauri app that runs kotonia-cli's ReAct agent loop directly on your machine. LLM inference is served by kotonia.ai, so all you install locally is a lightweight binary. Open source (MIT), free to use.

Not code-signed yet
This is an early solo-dev build, so it isn't code-signed or notarized yet. On Windows, SmartScreen may warn you — click "More info" then "Run anyway". On macOS, Gatekeeper may block the app — right-click the downloaded file and choose "Open" the first time to allow it. The full source is public on GitHub if you want to check it yourself.
What is kotonia-desktop
A desktop GUI wrapping kotonia-cli, a local shell agent. It lets an AI handle tasks like running code or editing files directly on your machine. Once signed in, it uses kotonia.ai-hosted LLM inference, so you never need your own GPU.
Prefer the terminal?
If you want to drive it from the command line instead of a GUI, use kotonia-cli directly. Build instructions and docs are on GitHub.
kotonia-cli (GitHub)VS Code extension
Use the Kotonia agent from inside VS Code. The engine is downloaded automatically on first use, so you just install the .vsix.
Download the .vsixEasiest: in VS Code open the Extensions view (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+X) → "…" menu → "Install from VSIX…" (no terminal needed). If the code CLI is set up, code --install-extension kotonia-agent.vsix also works.
