# Aether: Local AI Agent for Android

> Aether is a powerful, localized AI Agent app for Android with multi-provider LLM support, built-in Alpine Linux, and a rich extension system.

Welcome to **Aether** — a locally-run AI Agent for Android. Built on the Pi framework, Aether puts a full agentic experience directly on your device: connect to any major LLM provider, automate tasks with built-in Alpine Linux tooling, and extend the agent with your own mods — all without sending your credentials to any third-party service.
