Use your local AI models through a browser, alongside cloud models and a connected Codex subscription. In this MaiaChat demo, you'll see agents create real files on my Mac, with Finder and LM Studio visible on the same screen. Try MaiaChat: https://maiachat.com Hello guys, Alex here. I built MaiaChat to bring these tools into one place. In this video, I create four agents, give them different jobs and show them building a working travel checklist together. Then I show the Codex subscription connection and walk through a new account, computer pairing, permissions and a local-model file task. You'll see: • Local inference through LM Studio, with files appearing on the computer. • GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna through OpenRouter, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash through Ollama Cloud, and a local Qwen model working in the four-agent demonstration. • Reusable agents and examples of Supervisor, Sequential and Parallel modes. • A separate Codex subscription example using GPT-5.6 Terra. • The setup needed to connect your own computer and local model server. For access while you're away, your computer must stay awake and online, with the MaiaChat bridge connected and the local model server running. I explain that workflow here; this video doesn't include a separate phone or offsite test. Local inference runs on your computer, while the conversation and tool results still pass through the hosted service. The screen demonstration is real. The introduction and short presenter clips use my HeyGen avatar, and the narration uses my approved voice clone. Some processing waits are shortened in the edit.
