An AI assistant that stays on your computer.

LiveAI is a desktop app that connects you to the AI provider of your choice (DeepSeek, OpenAI, Groq, Mistral…) with your own key, or directly through LiveAI on a pay-as-you-go basis — your key, conversations, and settings are stored only on your computer, never on a LiveAI server. Available on Windows today; the Mac version is in the works.

In detail

Features

Live conversation

Responses stream in as the AI types, with rich formatting — headings, bold, italics, lists — just like a real editor.

Artifact-style preview

Generated code never clutters the conversation: it opens in a dedicated side panel, with a live Code / Preview toggle for HTML and SVG.

Sandboxed agent mode

Let the AI read, write, edit, or delete files — only within the folder you choose, with 4 permission levels to pick from.

API key stored locally

Your API key is encrypted on your disk and never passes through the accounts server or any third party.

LiveAI built-in, no key needed

Don't feel like creating an account with an AI provider? Choose "LiveAI built-in" and pay as you go, in credits — one-time packs or a monthly subscription.

Conversation history

Find and search all your past conversations, organized by account — each one stored only on your device.

Light and dark theme

A warm interface that adapts to the light around you, or your preference, with a single click.

Real-time reasoning visualization

A unique "galaxy" view: every tool the agent uses appears as a glowing node linked to the previous ones, live, color-coded by category — so you can see exactly how the AI works.

Non-destructive undo

Undoing never erases what's undone — it's archived, and a "Restore" button lets you switch between both states at will, even after closing the app.

Preference memory

State a lasting coding preference once, and LiveAI can remember it for all your future projects — always with your explicit confirmation.

At a glance

What you're always in control of

Privacy

Your API key, settings, and files stay local — no LiveAI server ever sees them. If you choose a cloud provider (DeepSeek, OpenAI…), your message is sent to it directly, with no middleman.

Speed

Streaming responses, native app — no unnecessary interface latency.

Real accounts

A real account system with email verification, separate from your API key.

Fine-grained control

Turn each of the agent's capabilities on or off individually, anytime.
