Anyone juggling more than one AI chatbot knows the real mess isn't the models — it's the dozen browser tabs, scattered logins, and prompts you can never find again. Noi's bet is that the chat services are already good enough; what's broken is the container around them. So rather than wrap yet another API, it ships a desktop shell where ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and a dozen more each live as an isolated, switchable app.
What Sets It Apart
- Real session isolation — each service keeps its own cookies and login, so you can run two accounts of the same tool side by side, which a single browser profile can't do.
- Multi-window workspaces — lay several AI services out in parallel and compare answers across models instead of tab-hopping.
- Local-first by default — history, prompts, and settings stay on your machine rather than syncing to a vendor cloud.
- Built-in terminal and a
noiCLI — hooks into local tools like Claude Code, so the launcher doubles as a lightweight dev surface.
Worth being clear: Noi runs no model of its own and adds no intelligence. Everything you talk to is the vendor's own web app — it just gives them a tidier home.
Who It's For
Great fit if you bounce between several AI services every day and want one local-first place for them with genuine session isolation. Look elsewhere if you want a true API client, programmatic routing, or a single unified chat box that abstracts across models — Noi loads each provider's own UI rather than merging them. It's also a single-maintainer project, so weigh that before leaning on it for anything mission-critical.
