A lightweight desktop AI client and screen-level agent: chat, tools, translation, OCR, and visual Q&A in one small app.
Kivio is a compact desktop AI client with a built-in agent runtime. It stays in the tray or menu bar, opens when you need it, and keeps a much smaller footprint than a browser-based AI workspace.
- Kivio Agent — chat, projects, assistants, memory, file/image attachments, MCP, Skills, and native tools (file ops, shell, web fetch/search, Pyodide run_python).
- Lens — screenshot-based visual Q&A, OCR, formula extraction, text polishing, and optional web-aware answers.
- Fast translation — typed text, selected text, windows, and arbitrary screen regions.
- Bring your own models — OpenAI-compatible providers and Anthropic Messages, with per-feature model routing and multi-key failover.
- Document-ready — PDF / Word / Excel workflows run on a bundled offline Pyodide sandbox, no first-run CDN download required.
- Private by default — no telemetry; API keys and conversation data stay on your machine.
