AIUI is your AI assistant running directly on your Archipelago node. It can see your installed apps, read your files, check Bitcoin and Lightning status, and help you manage everything — all privately, with no data leaving your node.
Node Awareness
When running on your Archipelago node, AIUI automatically knows about your setup. It sees which apps are installed, your system status, network connectivity, and more. Just ask naturally:
File Browsing & Reading
AIUI can browse and read text files stored in your Nextcloud instance. It supports common text formats
like .txt, .md, .json, .csv, .log,
.yaml, .conf, and many more.
Bitcoin Node Status
If you have Bitcoin Core running on your node, AIUI can check the blockchain sync status, current block height, and mempool information in real-time.
Lightning Network (LND)
AIUI can query your LND node for channel information, peer count, on-chain and channel balances, and sync status. Your private keys and macaroons are never exposed.
App Logs
When an app isn't working right, AIUI can pull recent log output to help diagnose issues. It reads the last 50 lines by default (up to 200).
App Management
AIUI can help you navigate your node, open installed apps, and even install new ones from the marketplace. It checks what's already installed before recommending anything.
Chat Features
Conversation History
All chats are saved locally on your node. Switch between conversations using the history panel.
Edit Messages
Click any of your sent messages to edit and re-send them. The AI will regenerate its response.
Branch Conversations
Fork a conversation at any point to explore a different direction without losing the original thread.
Web Search
When enabled, AIUI can search the web to find current information and include sources in its responses.
Image Support
Attach images to your messages for visual questions. AIUI can analyze screenshots, photos, and diagrams.
Dark / Light Theme
AIUI adapts to your preferred theme. Toggle between dark and light mode in the settings.
Privacy & Permissions
AIUI only accesses what you allow. Your node data categories (apps, files, wallet, bitcoin, network, system) are permission-gated. You control exactly what context AIUI can see through the Archy permissions panel.
Tips
- Be specific — "Read my bitcoin.conf" works better than "show me config files"
- AIUI remembers context within a conversation, so you can ask follow-up questions
- If something seems wrong with an app, ask AIUI to check the logs first
- You can ask AIUI to explain what a config file does after reading it
- Use the history panel to return to previous conversations at any time
