Analyze your data.
Keep the evidence.

CLIO is an open-source AI workspace for scientific data. Ask a question, explore the results, and inspect the files and steps behind the answer. Run it on your computer with the models you choose.

Review a report beside the conversation.

Keep editable Word and PowerPoint files, and inspect their rendered PDF previews.

Development preview: a real review session publishing an existing three-page Word report and an 11-slide deck with PDF previews. The example includes the editable files and a recording.

The workflow

From a question to an answer you can check.

AskStart from a question about real data.

Describe what you want to know. CLIO finds the data source, pulls real records, and stops to ask you when a choice is yours to make, such as which station to analyze.

Find the five EarthScope GNSS stations nearest Palm Springs and let me pick one.

Your first analysis
CLIO waits for you to choose a station on the map before the analysis continues.
DelegateExperts work in parallel.

An agent blueprint declares which domain experts a session can call on. They run as child sessions in parallel, and their findings come back as versioned artifacts with lineage.

Agent blueprints
Six expert consultations completed, with the resulting report open beside the session.
WatchSee every step as it runs.

Agents, child agents, and tool calls appear on one timeline with their arguments and outcomes, so you can follow the work while it happens and check it afterwards.

Memory and evidence
The execution timeline for a run with child agents and tool calls.
VerifyKeep the evidence with the answer.

Files read, changes proposed, and artifacts created stay attached to the run that produced them. Edits wait for your approval, and each artifact records a content hash.

Permissions and sandbox
The evidence panel: what the agent read, what it changed, and what it produced.
ContinuePick up earlier work.

CLIO can search your past sessions and bring their results into a new question, so analyses build on each other instead of starting over.

Memory and evidence
Session memory search returning matches from earlier sessions in the workspace.

Interfaces

Start with the desktop app.

The desktop app is the simplest way to use CLIO. On a server or a shared machine, open the same workspace in a browser or run it in a container.

Desktop app

Installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The recommended build includes the CLIO backend and starts it for you, keeps running in the system tray when you close the window, and updates itself from each release.

Download the desktop app

In your browser

Install CLIO with one command, then open the workspace in your browser.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iowarp/clio-agent/main/install/install.sh | bash

Then run clio --web. It opens http://127.0.0.1:17800.

Docker

The web image bundles CLIO and the workspace interface.

docker run --rm -p 8080:80 ghcr.io/iowarp/clio-web:0.9.5b5.post2

Open http://localhost:8080.

Prefer the keyboard? After the install script, clio opens a terminal interface. See thecommand-line reference.

Models

Use the models you already trust.

Pick a provider when CLIO first starts, and change it any time from Settings. Each session can use a different model.

On your machine

Your model prompts stay local.

  • LM Studio
  • Ollama
  • llama.cpp
  • vLLM

Cloud APIs

Bring your own API key.

  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
  • Google Gemini
  • Vertex AI
  • Azure OpenAI

Extend

Shape it to your science.

CLIO's domain knowledge lives in blueprints and tools you can read, change, and share, and its safety rules stay under your control.
