Configure your own model providers, API endpoints, models, and request settings, and use different AI models from one unified workspace. • Custom AI Roles Create custom role presets for different tasks and workflows. Define your own system prompts, models, and behavior to build specialized AI assistants for programming, writing, translation, research, productivity, or any other use case. • Web Search Give your AI access to up-to-date information from the web. Use web search when you need current information, online resources, or webpage content, and let your AI work with information beyond its built-in knowledge. • MCP: Connect AI to Tools MextAI provides deep support for Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing your AI to connect to tools and external capabilities instead of being limited to conversation. Built-in MCP servers include: • File system operations • Web fetching • Health data • Calendar and Reminders • Contacts and Mail • Location and Maps • Home and smart home devices • Time and regional information • Memory You can also connect your own MCP servers with support for: • Streamable HTTP • SSE • Custom request headers Build your own tool ecosystem and let MextAI connect your AI to the capabilities you need. • Skills: Extend What Your AI Can Do Skills give your AI reusable capabilities and workflows. MextAI includes built-in Skills such as skill creation and frontend design, and supports importing Skills from ZIP files or GitHub.

Turn your AI from a chatbot into an assistant that can actually work with your digital environment. • Local-First & Privacy Focused Your conversations, role presets, Skills, MCP configurations, and other app data are stored locally on your device by default. MextAI does not require your app data to be centrally stored on a third-party server. You choose which AI and MCP services you connect to. Features that access device data rely on Apple's system permissions and your authorization. MextAI is more than an AI chat client. Connect models, roles, web search, MCP, and Skills in one AI workspace. Build your own AI environment and make AI work the way you want. ------ ------ ------ Subscription Information • "MextAI – AI Workspace" operates on a subscription-based payment model. • Becoming a subscriber grants you unlimited access to the app and unlocks all premium features. • Payment will be charged directly to your iTunes account upon purchase confirmation.
