Aion UI review: agent sessions and Paperclip comparison

Aion UI is presented as a desktop interface for working with several AI agents and models. The demo shows a macOS application with chats, workspaces and areas for producing artifacts. Its main appeal, in the speaker's view, is access to different providers through one interface.

The clearest example uses Claude Code. Aion UI detects the speaker's authenticated CLI session and uses that session for a chat. The interface also detects Codex, OpenCode and Gemini CLI. The speaker believes changing providers requires a different chat and says he does not think switching mid-conversation is possible; the demo does not establish this as a confirmed limitation.

The tour briefly covers schedules, search, remote agent options, folder access and permissions. The speaker says model choices can include local models or models available through detected agents. This makes the app relevant to local AI workflows, but the demonstrated Claude Code session does not establish offline inference. A skills marketplace appears near the end without a detailed walkthrough.

The comparison with Paperclip rests on the speaker's workflow. He mostly uses Claude, prefers native apps when changing providers and already relies on Paperclip for orchestration. He sees little reason to switch at this point.
