What Is aiDex? One Chat for Every AI Model

You probably pay for more than one AI already. ChatGPT in one tab, Claude in another, maybe Gemini for long documents. Every answer is a single opinion from a single model, and switching between them means copying context back and forth. aiDex was built to end that shuffle. Open aiDex and you get one chat where several models work together, and you stay in control of which ones.

What is aiDex, exactly?

aiDex is a panel-chat workspace from Aura Intelligence that lets several AI models share one conversation. Instead of asking a single assistant, you can seat up to five at the same table: Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.4, Gemini 3.1 Pro, DeepSeek V3.2, and local models through Ollama. A lightweight moderator model keeps the speaking order, so the chat stays readable instead of turning into noise. You choose the line-up from the Dex, our model catalog, and swap models whenever the task changes.

The idea is simple: more than one strong model in the room usually beats betting everything on one. For the bigger argument behind that, see Multi-Model AI Workflows.

What can you do with aiDex's five modes?

Each mode is a different way to put those models to work, and you can switch modes inside the same chat without losing context.

• Solo: one model, one answer, like a normal chatbot, but with every other model one click away when you want a second take.
• Compare: ask once and see answers from several models side by side, so you can judge tone, accuracy, and depth yourself. Full walkthrough: how to compare AI models.
• Judge: the models answer, then a judge model weighs the responses and picks or merges the best one. Useful for fact-checking and consensus, as shown in how to get a consensus answer.
• Pipeline: pass work down a chain of models, each with a role (Draft, Critique, Revise, Polish), so a rough idea comes out edited. See how to build an AI pipeline.
• Team: an open group chat where several models and you talk freely, ideal for brainstorming and strategy. See how to create a multi-AI team.

Not sure which to reach for? The guide on when to use each aiDex mode lays out a simple decision tree.

How does aiDex handle your documents?

Drop a file into the chat and every model in the room reads it. aiDex accepts DOCX, PDF, Markdown, and plain text, so you can ask three models to review the same contract, brief, or report and compare what each one flags. You upload once in documents, and the file becomes shared context for the whole panel instead of something you paste into each tool separately.

Do you have to use aiDex's credits, or can you bring your own keys?

You are not locked into one billing model. Use your own provider keys or the ones we manage, and pick the models you want. If you already pay OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google directly, connect those keys in settings and aiDex uses them. Prefer not to manage keys? Run on managed credits instead. Want everything to stay on your machine? Point aiDex at local models through Ollama. Per-message costs are visible as you go, and you can set spending limits, so there are no surprise bills. See pricing for the current options.

Who is aiDex for?

aiDex fits anyone who makes decisions with AI and wants more than one perspective. Developers run a code review where the models actually disagree. Writers draft with a small team of models. Analysts have two models read a report and a third decide. Founders run a strategy table that pushes back. Support teams draft, critique, and send. If your work benefits from a second and third opinion, a panel beats a single model. A good place to start is matching the model to the job, covered in which AI model for which task.

How do you get started with aiDex?

Getting started takes a couple of minutes. Open aiDex, pick two or three models from the Dex, and choose a mode that fits your task. Add your own provider keys in settings or run on managed credits, and if you want a private setup, connect a local model through Ollama. For a shared workspace, set up Teams so your group can run panels together, and builders can wire aiDex into their own apps through the developers tools.

That is the whole idea: one conversation, every model you trust, and you decide who answers.
