Eleven AI workspaces now run from one lightweight Windows client. AI Client v2 is available from Microsoft Store as an in-place update of the existing AI Client product, with chat, writing, document, image and speech tools connected to the AI Server or provider selected for the work.

Eleven focused tools, one window

AI Client brings together AI Translate, AI Rewrite, AI Notepad, AI PDF Reader, AI Assistant, AI Reasoning, AI Chatbot, AI Image Tool, AI Image Generation, AI Voice Generation and AI Dictation. Each workspace keeps the controls and history that make sense for its job. The common shell supplies navigation, appearance, accessibility, Help, licensing and server connections.

That distinction matters. This is not one generic prompt box with eleven labels. A PDF reader still has pages, annotations and citations. Image Generation still has generation controls and a gallery. Dictation still works with microphone, computer audio and recordings. Moving between them no longer means opening eleven separate Windows apps.

The client is thin by design

AI Client does not embed a model engine. It sends AI requests to the active AI Server or supported provider, while keeping histories, settings, annotations, document indexes and other client-side workspace data on the PC. The result is a smaller client installation and one compute layer that can serve more than one workstation.

The separate server is an architectural choice, not an invisible dependency. A personal setup can run AI Server on a workstation. A team can place it on hardware inside its own network. An organisation can operate a larger deployment with its chosen identity, access, logging and retention controls. The AI Server product page explains those deployment paths.

This also draws a clear line between AI Client and AI Suite. AI Suite includes its model engine on the same PC as the tools. AI Client leaves the engine out and connects to a separate service. The right choice depends on where the compute should live, not on which of the eleven workspaces people need.

Connections are visible and controllable

Settings provides the connection workflow. AI Client can discover a compatible server when asked, or accept an address supplied by an administrator. Before using it, the client shows the server identity and fingerprint. An API key can be supplied when the server requires one.

Each workspace retains its own model choice, so changing the model for a translation job does not silently replace the choice used for a long-running chat. The title area shows the active route, making the selected server or provider visible while work is under way.

Optional App-Use control is off by default. It can be enabled in Settings when another local AI Suite app needs to open or control a supported AI Client page. Leaving it disabled keeps that local automation surface closed.

The privacy boundary follows the active route

“Local client” does not mean “local inference” in this product. AI Client stores its workspace locally, but the content needed for an AI task goes to the active AI Server or cloud provider. If the server is on premises, the inference path can remain on premises. If a third-party provider is selected, that provider receives the request under its own terms.

The practical review is therefore specific: who operates the active server, how transport is protected, what authentication it requires, and what it logs or retains. The AI Client product page states this boundary directly rather than applying a general offline claim to a server-connected product [1].

Existing AI Client users update in place

The Microsoft Store release keeps the existing AI Client package identity. Version 2.1 recognises eligible purchases from the earlier 2.0.1 product and includes one-time migration for compatible settings, model ratings, chats, prompts and memory. The importer does not delete the previous data, and migration markers prevent it from re-importing the same state on every launch.

The Credits page now presents AI Client's own release notes together with the current “What's New” entries for the eleven hosted apps. This makes the composition visible: a client release and the feature releases it contains can be reviewed in one place.

Free to start, with one Pro entitlement

The permanent Free tier includes all eleven workspaces and the designated free model path for each feature. AI Client Pro unlocks premium models, providers and Pro-gated options across the collection. Personal and Commercial subscriptions provide the same product capabilities with different usage rights.

AI Server access and capacity are separate from the AI Client subscription. Third-party provider charges are separate as well. Microsoft Store shows the current AI Client prices and renewal terms at purchase time.

Available now on Windows

AI Client v2 is available now for Windows through Microsoft Store [2]. The Store update preserves the product identity used by existing customers while replacing the earlier single-client experience with the eleven-workspace v2 shell.
