Let's be real: your browser is a mess right now.
You have ChatGPT open in one tab, Claude in another, Gemini in a third, and maybe a local Ollama instance running somewhere else. You are constantly Alt+Tab-ing, copy-pasting prompts, and losing track of which AI gave you that one good regex.
The "AI Fatigue" is real, and the friction is killing your flow.
Enter Noi.
Noi isn't just another "wrapper." It is a dedicated, open-source browser for AI designed to unify your entire artificial intelligence workflow into a single, powerful command center. And it is built by lencx, the same developer who gave us the legendary ChatGPT Desktop Application.
Here is why this tool is trending on GitHub and why you should probably install it today.
🧠 The "God Mode" of AI Chatting
The killer feature of Noi is something called Noi Ask.
Imagine you have a complex coding question. You want a second opinion. Usually, you would paste it into ChatGPT, wait, open Claude, paste it again, wait...
With Noi Ask, you can fire a single prompt to multiple AI models simultaneously.
It treats your different AI services as extensions. You type once, and you watch the answers roll in from ChatGPT, Claude, Bard, and more—all in one view.
Why this matters: It turns "cross-referencing" from a 5-minute chore into a 5-second reflex.
🛠️ Features That Devs Actually Need
Noi is clearly built by a developer for developers. It solves the specific pain points of working with LLMs daily:
1. 📝 Built-in Prompt Management
Stop saving your best system prompts in Apple Notes or a random .txt file on your desktop. Noi has a native Prompt Library. You can save, tag, and sync your best prompts right in the interface. Need your "Senior React Refactor" prompt? It's one click away.
2. 🍪 Multi-Account Containers (Cookie Isolation)
Do you have a "Personal" ChatGPT Plus account and a "Work" Team account? In Chrome, you have to use Incognito windows or separate profiles.
Noi supports Cookie Isolation. You can have multiple instances of the same AI service running side-by-side with different logins.
3. ⚡ The "Noi Cache" Workflow
We all know the pain of a reload wiping out a chat session. Noi uses a smart caching mechanism that keeps your sidebar apps "alive" even when you switch away. It feels less like a browser and more like a native OS workspace.
🎨 Aesthetics & Customization
If you are going to stare at a screen for 8 hours, it better look good.
Noi ships with:
- Frosted Glass effects (because we love aesthetics).
- Monochromatic Themes for the minimalists.
- Fully customizable sidebar URLs (add any site, not just the big AIs).
💻 How to Get Started
Noi is cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Linux). You can grab the latest release from the GitHub Releases page, or if you are a Homebrew fan on Mac:
brew install --cask noi
(Note: Always check the repo for the latest installation methods as they evolve fast!)
🔮 The Verdict
We are entering a phase where "General Purpose Browsers" (like Chrome/Arc) are becoming too noisy for focused AI work. We need tools that treat LLMs as utilities, not just websites.
Noi is the first major step in that direction. It respects your privacy (local-first data), it's open-source, and it drastically reduces the friction of using multiple models.
Give the repo a ⭐ star to support open-source development!
