AI4MorphOS

A native AI client & tool-using agent for MorphOS

Chat with Claude or any OpenAI-compatible model, or switch on the agent and let it read, write and run things on your MorphOS — safely, with per-folder approvals. Built natively in C with MUI, HTTPS over the SDK's OpenSSL + libcurl.

v0.9 MorphOS / PPC MUI Anthropic + OpenAI

AI4MorphOS running on MorphOS — client, model list and an editor — AI4MorphOS on MorphOS: the client, the fetched model list, and CygnusEd — the agent has just built a “Hello World” with a Makefile.

Features

Everything runs locally on your MorphOS box; only the API calls leave the machine.

🔌

Multi-provider

Anthropic (Claude) natively, plus any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — OpenAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter and more. Pick provider & model in the top bar.

🤖

Agent mode

A ReAct tool loop that works the same on every provider: list_dir, read_file, write_file, search, replace_in_file, run, remember — several tools per turn, with targeted edits instead of rewriting whole files.

🛡️

Safe by default

File tools are confined to a working directory; anything outside prompts Yes / Session / Always / No. Every action is written to an audit log.

🗂️

Sessions

Conversations auto-save on the left, each with its own working directory. Double-click to resume; a right-click menu edits memos or clears a chat.

🧠

Memo & tool cache

A Markdown memory injected every turn — global and per-project. The agent caches where it found the compiler and other tools, so it never searches twice.

⌨️

Slash commands

Type /help, /new, /cwd, /model, /remember or /memo right in the input — handled locally, never sent to the AI.

⏹️

Responsive & stoppable

Non-blocking transfers (curl multi) keep the GUI live during a request, and the Stop button aborts a call in flight.

🌿

Git & editor

A one-click git init appears when your working dir isn't a repo, and you can open memos in your own editor of choice.

📜

Rich view

Conversation on Scintilla — selectable, copyable, user vs AI styled, optional folding to collapse long replies. Multi-line input for pasting.

⚡

Live streaming

Replies stream in token by token, a token counter shows usage, and long chats are auto-compacted (summarised) so requests stay small and cheap.

Agent at work

Told to build a program, the agent writes the source and Makefile, runs the PPC gcc, reads the errors and iterates — here it produced a running SDL Mandelbrot.

The agent built and ran an SDL Mandelbrot on MorphOS — A full round trip: `write_file` (with a .bak backup), `run make`, read the build log, fix, run again — and a Mandelbrot window appears. Note the new »/[] Send/Stop buttons and the *git init* shortcut.

How the agent works

A provider-neutral text protocol — the model asks for a tool by writing a line, the app runs it and feeds the result back.

Tools

list_dir list a directory
read_file read a file
write_file write a file — backs up to .bak first
run run an AmigaDOS command
remember cache a note (global or project)

Guard rails

Confined to the working directory you choose
Yes / Session / Always / No approval per folder and for every command
Full audit log of provider, model, tool and decision
Stop button and a configurable step limit
