About AICoven: Local AI Chat
Welcome to AICoven, the unified interface for your digital intelligence. Stop fragmenting your workflow across different apps and browser tabs. AICoven brings every major model: GPT, Claude, Gemini, and local models (on MacOS) into a single, orchestrated circle. Why join the Coven? Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK): You are the master of your data. Use your own API keys to ensure privacy, control costs, and avoid rate limits. Support for Ollama and Apple Intelligence. Conversations with local models never leave your device. All conversations and memory are encrypted with keys that stay on your device. Universal Memory: Never repeat yourself. Context and history are shared across models, allowing you to switch intelligences without losing the thread of conversation. Build your own circle of intelligences; bound by your keys, not theirs.
What’s new
Version 1.3.0 · Updated June 3, 2026
AICoven Local now mirrors the full AICoven layout, and your on-device models are front and center. • Redesigned workspace: a Discord-style icon rail switches between Strix and your covens, no more sidebar dropdown. • Knowledge Hub and per-coven Settings are now first-class tabs in the sidebar. • New split Settings workspace surfaces Provider Keys, Budgets & Usage, Connected Apps, and MCP Servers at a glance. • On-Device Models: manage and run local Apple Silicon models from a dedicated Local Agent settings section. Under the hood (recent groundwork) New self-hosted/provider clients: OpenClaw (OpenAI-compatible proxy) and Nous Hermes (Together AI or local LM Studio/llama.cpp). Reworked chat turn architecture and background actors for memory/summarization. Local security hardening (phase 1) for at-rest encryption. MCP server integration and Connected Apps. • An Activity bell replaces the old profile menu, with a badge for pending proposals and updates. Everything stays on your device — bring your own keys, or run fully offline with on-device models.
