AMD GAIA 0.17's Agent UI is privacy-first for running AI agents on Ryzen AI hardware for analyzing documents, generating code, searching files, executing commands, and accomplishing tasks. The GAIA Agent UI is run strictly local without any cloud AI usage.

The Agent UI's front-end is written in React/TypeScript and using an Electron shell. The GAIA Agent UI is promoted as initially offering the following capabilities:
