Chat, Cowork or Code: which mode should you use? — More AI has three modes — Chat for thinking out loud, Cowork for real work in a folder, and Code for your repositories. Here is what each is best at, how they share the same engine, and how the app nudges you to the right one automatically.
Bring your own API key: what BYOK means and why it usually costs less — BYOK (bring your own key) means you pay the model maker directly at API cost instead of a flat monthly subscription. Here is how it works in More AI, what it costs in practice, and how to keep spending under control.
Run More AI fully offline with local models (Ollama & LM Studio) — Point More AI at a model running on your own hardware and nothing ever leaves your machine — no API bill, no internet required. Here is how to set up Ollama or LM Studio in minutes, and what to expect from local models in each mode.
Cowork: turn any folder into an AI project workspace — Cowork binds the assistant to a folder on your disk. It reads your files, edits documents with visible diffs, generates Word, Excel and PowerPoint deliverables, and keeps a live checklist while it works — all locally.
Code mode: run a coding agent on your own repository — Describe a task, get a plan, approve it, and watch the agent write code, run commands and show you every diff — on your repo, with your key, under an explicit permission model.
The built-in browser: preview your app, browse and capture — More AI ships a real browser inside the app. Preview your dev server, browse the web, then screenshot and annotate a page — or point at a single element — and hand it to the assistant so it can see what you see.
Routines: schedule AI tasks that run on your machine — A routine is a saved prompt on a schedule — daily, weekly, hourly or on demand. It runs headlessly through your own key, saves the result as a conversation and notifies you when it’s done.
Sync across devices and use the web app — Turn on optional cloud sync to keep your chats and Cowork projects up to date on every computer — and open them in any browser at app.more-ai.net. It’s off by default, so your data stays on your machine until you switch it on.
Find anything instantly with search — One keyboard shortcut searches across every chat, Cowork project, coding session and scheduled routine at once — by title or by what’s inside. Never lose a conversation again.
Control what the agent can do: tools & permissions — More AI’s agent can read and write files, run commands, search the web, schedule routines and connect to your other apps. Every capability is yours to switch off, and risky actions ask before they run.
Connectors & plugins: bring your tools to the assistant with MCP — More AI ships a browsable catalog of over 160 verified MCP connectors — GitHub, Notion, Linear, Stripe and many more — plus local plugins in the same .mcpb format as Claude Desktop extensions. Here is how to connect them and keep every permission under your control.
