Agent that finishes the job
Plans, writes, tests and verifies in one turn, with up to 60 tool calls and automatic context compaction so long tasks don't hit the ceiling.

The coding agent
you can watch think.
DariusAI plans, writes, tests and verifies your code, and files what it learns into a brain you can see. Every skill it reads and every tool it runs lights up in a live neural view, the moment it happens.

The neural view
See exactly what it's using to answer you.
Most agents are a black box with a spinner. DariusAI draws its whole knowledge as a graph: a brain at the centre, skill groups as branches, every skill, tool and hook as a node. When it works, the graph moves with it.
- Reading a skill A charge travels from the brain down the right branch to that one skill, which keeps glowing while it shapes the answer.
- Running a tool The tool's node lights when the call starts and stays lit until it ends: a 30-second build glows for 30 seconds.
- Searching Candidates shimmer briefly. Considered is not the same as used, and you can tell the two apart.
- Learning When it records something new, you watch the brain grow a node.
Click any node to read or edit what it knows. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom.
What's inside
A full workspace, not a chat box.
A brain that learns
196 skills across 30 groups, searched paragraph by paragraph, so the agent pulls in the three lines it needs instead of a 26 KB manual.
Editor, terminal, workbench
CodeMirror editor with a file tree, a real integrated shell, and project templates from HTML to FastAPI, Go and Rust, with dependencies installed.
Your model, your keys
Anthropic, OpenRouter, NVIDIA, MiniMax, Groq and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Keys are encrypted with Windows DPAPI and never leave your PC.
Sandboxed by default
File and shell tools are confined to the project. Timeouts kill the whole process tree, and API keys are stripped from every command it runs.
Blender bridge
Drives Blender over MCP to build real 3D assets (parametric, sculpted or hard-surface) and export them for your game engine.
Install
One PowerShell line.
- 1Open PowerShell Press Win, type PowerShell, press Enter. No admin rights needed.
- 2Paste and run
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tattooinmtl/DariusAI/main/install.ps1 | iex - 3Launch Open DariusAI from the Desktop or Start Menu, add a provider key in Settings, and ask for something.
The installer downloads the latest release from GitHub, creates its own Python environment, imports the skill library and adds the shortcuts. Nothing is installed system-wide.
How do I update?
Run the same line again. It checks the latest version, syncs only the app files, and never touches your .env, your keys, your virtual environment or your brain.
Can I install somewhere else?
The short form can't take options, so use this form for a custom folder:
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tattooinmtl/DariusAI/main/install.ps1))) -Dest D:\apps\DariusAI
Add -SkipShortcuts for no Desktop or Start Menu icons.
Can I install from a downloaded ZIP?
Yes. Download the repository as a ZIP from GitHub, put it next to install.ps1, then run .\install.ps1 -ZipFile .\DariusAI-main.zip. Python packages are still fetched by pip.
It says Python was not found.
Install Python 3.11+ from python.org with Add python.exe to PATH ticked (or run winget install Python.Python.3.12), open a new PowerShell window and run the line again.
The install failed. Where's the error?
The window stays open with the message, and it is saved to dariusai-install-error.log in your user folder. Re-running is always safe.
How do I uninstall?
Delete the dariusai-harness folder and the two DariusAI shortcuts. Delete %USERPROFILE%\.dariusai too if you want to remove the brain and your saved keys.
What's new in alpha 0.94
The brain now moves with the agent.
- Skills light up by name, and the charge walks the real branch from the brain to the skill.
- Tools glow for as long as they run, with their duration in the activity log.
- Activity reaches the view in 1–2 ms instead of up to a tenth of a second.
- The skill library is found whichever project you have open.
- Faster start: the graph is fetched once at launch, not once per past event.
- Switching provider or saving a key takes effect in the open chat immediately.
- A more reliable installer: no more random "Could not run Python".
