Talkio is a local-first desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux via Tauri 2) and Android application for multi-AI group chat. Unlike a conventional ChatGPT wrapper, it orchestrates conversations where multiple AI models — OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Anthropic Messages, plus DeepSeek/Groq/Ollama via compatible endpoints — converse together in one thread, each bound to a configurable persona/identity with its own system prompt and model selection. Core features include streaming SSE generation, an MCP (Model Context Protocol) client with both stdio subprocess (desktop) and custom streamable-HTTP transports, a tool-call loop supporting iterative tool execution, automatic conversation context compression, chat branching/regeneration, file attachment parsing (PDF/Word/Excel/images), and export to Markdown/PDF. All data is local: conversations persist in SQLite via the Tauri SQL plugin, while providers, identities, MCP servers, and settings live in localStorage.
