English | ็ฎ€ไฝ“ไธญๆ–‡


๐Ÿš€ Installation & Setup

Q: How do I install AionUi?

A: AionUi is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download the latest release from our GitHub releases page and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

Q: What are the system requirements?

A:

  • Operating System: Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+, or Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+)
  • Memory: Minimum 4GB RAM, recommended 8GB+
  • Storage: At least 2GB free space
  • Network: Internet connection for AI model access

Q: Can I run AionUi on older operating systems?

A: AionUi requires modern operating systems due to its Electron-based architecture. We recommend updating to supported versions for the best experience.


๐Ÿ”‘ Authentication & API Keys

Q: Do I need to create API keys for all platforms?

A: No, you can start with just one platform. We recommend beginning with Google Gemini (free) or OpenAI (if you have credits). You can add more platforms later as needed.

Q: How do I get a Google Gemini API key?

A:

  1. Visit Google AI Studio
  2. Sign in with your Google account
  3. Navigate to "Get API Key" and create a new key
  4. Copy the key and paste it into AionUi's LLM settings

Q: My API key isn't working. What should I check?

A:

  • Verify the key is correctly copied (no extra spaces or characters)
  • Check if the key has expired or been revoked
  • Ensure you have sufficient credits/quota remaining
  • Try regenerating the key from the platform's dashboard

Q: Can I use multiple API keys for the same platform?

A: Yes! AionUi supports multiple API keys per platform with automatic rotation. This helps with rate limits and reliability.


๐Ÿค– AI Models & Agents

Q: What's the difference between Gemini CLI and Multi-Agent Mode?

A: Main differences:

  • Gemini CLI Mode: AionUi's built-in core functionality, used by default after download, supports image generation, tool scheduling and other complete features
  • Multi-Agent Mode: Requires users to install external CLI tools themselves, AionUi recognizes and integrates them through ACP protocol, currently has relatively simple functionality, future MCP settings will enhance integration

Q: Which agent should I choose?

A: Selection recommendations:

  • Daily use: Recommend Gemini CLI mode, most complete functionality, ready to use out of the box
  • Professional needs: If you need specific CLI tool functionality (like Claude Code, Qwen Code, etc.), choose Multi-Agent Mode
  • Future planning: MCP functionality will allow Multi-Agent Mode to enjoy more unified features

Q: How do I switch between different AI models?

A: Model switching is not currently supported. Switching to different agents will automatically use their default models:

  • Gemini CLI Mode: Uses configured default models
  • Multi-Agent Mode: Choose different agents on the welcome page, each agent uses its default model
  • Note: Model switching during current conversation is not currently supported

Q: Why can't I see image generation tools?

A: Check the following configuration:
