mai — the AI-native IDE & terminal for your whole AI fleet
mai is a modern IDE where you just say what you want. Editor, terminals, git, themes, workspaces and a whole fleet of AI coding agents — every last feature is also a CLI verb, an MCP tool and an HTTP API call, so nothing is human-only. Want a warmer theme? Say it. A workspace for a repo with three agent sessions? Say it. A branch reviewed before it ships? Say it. You drive the IDE, or you let an AI agent drive it for you.
A modern IDE, driven by AI — no human-only feature
Stop clicking, start telling. Because every action in mai is exposed as a CLI verb, an MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool and an API endpoint, an AI agent can operate the entire product: spawn sibling sessions, read their screens, wait on them, review diffs, merge branches, generate images, and drive a real web browser — all headless, safely tiered and audited.
Autonomous agents: the Hive, Evolve and Reviewer
Describe a task or paste a whole epic and mai's Hive splits it into pieces, puts an agent on each in its own git worktree, builds them in parallel, reviews each other, and stops at a gate before anything merges — you approve and it ships. Evolve reads your codebase and proposes the next features to build, scored by impact. The Reviewer is an AI review panel that reads every diff, fixes its own findings and can hard-gate deploy, land and release. Pipelines run the whole loop on a schedule or a webhook, so you wake up to finished work.
See every token
A local MITM proxy captures every model API call and itemizes it — system prompt, history, tool results, cache reads — so you see the exact token count and dollar cost of every session, project and agent, with guardrails that warn, block or auto-compact before spend runs away.
Immortal, persistent sessions
Every session in mai runs detached and tmux-backed. Close the laptop, kill the wifi, reboot the machine — your shells, builds and long-running agent sessions keep working and are exactly where you left them. Idle sessions sleep to reclaim RAM and resume on demand.
One workspace, every screen
Tile a whole fleet of agent sessions into one panel workspace — split, swap, save layouts, pop out. Read any session as a raw terminal or a clean chat. Steer and approve from the desktop app, a browser, your phone over Tailscale, or another device over SSH. Runs on Linux, Windows (native + WSL2) and macOS.
