## What is AI Coven?

Welcome to AICoven: one workspace for the models, agents, and knowledge you already use.
Stop splitting work across chat apps, dashboards, and browser tabs. AICoven brings cloud models, local agents, shared knowledge, and multi-agent covens into one Apple native workspace.

MODELS & PROVIDERS, WITH YOUR KEYS

Connect the providers you already use:
• Cloud: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, Azure OpenAI, and more
• Local & private: Hermes and OpenClaw on your machine, plus OpenAI-compatible endpoints such as LM Studio, Ollama, and llama.cpp
Choose the model per agent or task. Use frontier APIs when you need them, local inference when you want more privacy and control.

WHY JOIN THE COVEN?

Bring Your Own Keys
Use your own provider accounts and API keys. Your billing, limits, and credentials stay under your control.

Knowledge Hub
Keep project knowledge available across models, threads, and covens, so you do not have to re-explain the same context every time.

Multi-agent covens
Create collaborative workspaces where agents can have different roles, tools, memories, and model providers.

Built for Apple
Use AICoven across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with fast coven switching, voice messages, and a polished chat composer built for serious agent work.

Build your own circle of intelligences. Bound by your keys, not theirs.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.0 — 2026-08-17

AICoven 2.2.0 makes your images, files, and agents easier to trust and work with.

What's new:

• See it, don't chase it. Generated images and files now show up right in your conversation, no more tapping through links.
• Smarter image generation. If one model can't create your image, we automatically try another so you're not stuck.
• Agents that stick with it. Long agent tasks now pick up right where they left off, even if you close the app or lose connection. And when you hit stop, it stops.
• Smoother downloads. Generated files and images now download reliably every time.

Small fixes that add up: no more duplicate messages cluttering your chats, and better accessibility for saved files.

We're just getting started. Next up, more visibility into what your agents are actually doing.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-23

AICoven 2.1.0 makes collaborative AI work clearer, smoother, and easier to follow.

What’s new:

• Shared covens are more useful, with invite emails, deep-link accept flows, live thread updates, participant metadata refreshes, and better collaboration handling.
• Agent work is now easier to understand with richer run status cards, approval details, system status rows, artifacts, code block affordances, and clearer progress updates while agents are working.
• New workspace surfaces help turn conversations into structured work, including task/Kanban surfaces, decision logs, and improved surface navigation on iPhone and iPad.
• Chat timelines are more stable and readable, with better markdown rendering, tables, images, message selection, copy behavior, deduping, and reconnect recovery.
• Workspace MCP and automation improvements make AICoven’s Knowledge Hub and background workflows more reliable for connected agents.
• Provider and local-agent errors are clearer, including better handling for invalid keys, no-reply failures, routing exhaustion, and local-agent relay issues.
• Photo attachments now handle more Apple-friendly formats, including HEIC/HEIF.
• Push notifications, foreground agent completion banners, approval actions, and app launch routing have been tightened up.
• Behind the scenes: expanded observability, Sentry crash reporting foundations, safer build/deploy guardrails, and many reliability fixes.

This release is about making AICoven feel less like a chat box and more like a live workspace for humans and agents working together.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-06-12

Welcome to AICoven 2.0, our biggest update yet. Navigation, knowledge, and chat have been rebuilt so multi-agent work feels faster, clearer, and easier to find.

NEW IN 2.0

• New icon rail navigation: Jump between Strix, covens, and Settings in one tap, with unread cues that stay visible while you work.
• Coven Hub: See the important threads and activity in each coven without drilling through extra screens.
• Knowledge Hub: Memory is now Knowledge Hub, with a refreshed mobile and desktop experience, Skill entries, and clearer handling for long notes.
• Voice messages: Hold to record in chat. AICoven transcribes your voice so agents can work from it.
• Rich chat composer: Write with formatting for bold text, lists, code, links, and more, with cleaner chat bubbles and a compact cauldron loader while agents think.
• More recognizable covens: Add custom avatars and descriptions, and manage Coven Settings directly from the workspace.
• Stronger agent runs: Long turns are more reliable, local Hermes routing is clearer, and timeouts now give better feedback.
• More provider options: Codex OAuth sign-in joins continued BYOK support across your cloud and local model stack.

IMPROVEMENTS
• Smoother drafts and new threads, including chats started from Strix.
• Faster workspace switching, with recently visited covens and thread lists kept warm while staying mindful of mobile memory.

As always, your API keys stay yours.

### 1.8.0 — 2026-05-19

Your agent just got a lot better at keeping up with you.

AGENT SKILLS 
Teach it your way of working
Drop in a Markdown file and your agent learns a repeatable 
workflow: how you write, how you review, how you think. That 
context shows up in every conversation, with cloud models or 
local ones, and syncs automatically across your Apple devices.

INTERRUPT & REDIRECT 
Got a follow-up before it's done? Send it. AICoven pauses the 
agent mid-thought, folds your new message in, and replies once 
with a complete answer that addresses everything. No more waiting. 

Also: fixed a bug where local agents timed out before completing the tasks.

### 1.7.0 — 2026-05-12

Untethered Power: Hermes & OpenClaw Integration
Your data is your business. For those who demand the highest level of privacy and zero latency, we have fully integrated Hermes and OpenClaw directly into the AICoven ecosystem. You can now run these models entirely locally on your macOS machine or host them on your own virtual machines. 

Under the Hood Improvements
Stabilised Asynchronous Workers: We've upgraded our cloud task architecture to ensure background agent turns execute flawlessly, keeping your UI responsive.
Enhanced Memory Extraction: Memory generation and summarisation now run completely in the background, making your chat experience faster and more fluid than ever.
Update today and experience the most capable, controllable, and private version of AICoven yet!
