Reading & research

AI Web

A browser inside the app, with a sidebar that summarizes the page and scores links for relevance.

Reading & research

What it does

• A working browser pane — address bar with a "Go" button, a suggestion dropdown that mixes web-search suggestions with your tracked sites and visit history, and a search engine you can switch between DuckDuckGo, Google and Bing
• "Generate Summary" reads the open page's text and writes a summary into the sidebar; PDFs work too, extracted page by page with PDFKit and Vision OCR for pages whose text layer is too thin, behind a progress overlay with a "Stop & Use What's Extracted" button
• Research agents are JSON files fetched from a public GitHub repo rather than compiled in, so new ones arrive without an app update. Three ship today: "Score for Relevance", "Turn Into Podcast Script", and "Extract Claims & Sources"
• On a listing page (search results, an arXiv index), the relevance agent pulls out every child link and scores them one at a time, records what it has already scored in a ledger so a re-run only covers new items, and puts a "Deep Dive" button on rows above your threshold that fetches the full page and rescores it
• Agent runs save markdown reports you can reopen; a report sheet has a "Turn into Podcast" button that writes a two-host script and renders it with Apple's built-in text-to-speech, then offers "Play" and "Edit script"
• "Schedule…" turns a scan agent into a recurring job with an interval slider (1 hour to 1 week) and a deep-dive score threshold; it runs only while mChatAI+ is open and catches up at next launch if a run was missed
• The Discover tab collects interest tags — scanned off your device or typed in — finds sites matching them, and can auto-browse and summarize them on a timer

How to try it

1. Open AI Web, type a URL or a search phrase into the address bar and click "Go".
2. In the left sidebar, stay on the "Summary" tab and click "Generate Summary".
3. Switch the sidebar to "Agents" and click the "Score for Relevance" card — the agent opens in its own window.
4. Fill in the form, press the Run button, and when it finishes click "View Report", then "Turn into Podcast" in the report sheet.

Works with

• mchatai-source — the agent catalog (aiweb-agents/index.json) is fetched over plain HTTPS from raw.githubusercontent.com and cached on disk
• The app's podcast player and audio script editor — a generated podcast offers "Play" and "Edit script"
• Community Hub — a finished podcast gets a "Publish to Hub" button
• Other applets can send a link here instead of Safari via the openURLInAIWeb notification (Vault/ProductDeepLinkRouter.swift)

Drive it from an agent

These commands are callable by Claude Code, Codex, or any agent talking to mChatAI+ through the portal:

aiweb.getState
aiweb.listAgents
aiweb.describeAgent
aiweb.listReports
aiweb.proposeActions
aiweb.actionResult

AI Web ships with mChatAI+. Native macOS app. Your own API keys, or fully on-device. Get mChatAI+
