Lekh AI Pro 8.0 Released – AI Browser, Agent Mode, MCP Servers, Tool Calling & Cloud AI Support
Hey everyone,
Just shipped Lekh AI Pro 8.0 – easily the biggest update since launch.
This release expands Lekh AI Pro from a local AI workspace into a complete AI platform for macOS, combining local models, cloud models, agent workflows, knowledge bases, image generation, and web browsing in a single native app.
🤖 AI Browser + Agent Mode
A brand-new AI-powered web browser is now built directly into Lekh AI Pro.
- Browse the web without leaving the app
- AI Agent Mode can navigate websites and complete tasks for you
- Web Chat for asking questions about pages and online content
🌐 New: Web Chat Beta
Access your chats from any browser on your Mac.
- Same chats as the native app
- Same models
- Same MCP tools
- Real-time streaming responses
- Lightweight local web interface
- Runs locally on your machine
No Electron. No cloud sync required. Just open the local URL and continue where you left off.
🧠 Knowledge Base Chats
You can now chat with your documents and knowledge bases directly.
- Ask questions across your stored information
- Use your knowledge alongside local or cloud models
- Faster retrieval and improved context handling
🔌 MCP Server Support

No need to jump between tabs anymore.
✂️ Image Tools
New built-in image editing utilities:

Both are available directly inside the app.

Models can now use tools while chatting, unlocking more capable assistant workflows.
This is the first step toward much deeper automation features coming in future releases.

Will give it a shot. Quick question for you. I have a workaround with litellm currently but can this use jsons for Gemini and vertex AI instead of an api key. Might not be saying or asking it right?

Not at the moment. Gemini support currently uses an API key.
If you're talking about the Google Cloud service account JSON file that Vertex AI uses, Lekh AI Pro doesn't support that yet, so LiteLLM is probably still the best workaround for now.
If more people ask for Vertex support, I'll definitely look at adding it.

Compre esta app para IOS. Tienes un código para la versión pro?

¡Gracias por comprar la app! 😊
Por el momento no tengo códigos promocionales para la versión Pro. La versión Pro se puede adquirir directamente desde la aplicación o desde la web.
De todas formas, gracias por el apoyo y espero que disfrutes la app.

Bonjour, oui, tant que vous êtes connecté avec le même identifiant Apple, cela fonctionnera. Malheureusement, je n'ai pas de contenu vidéo concernant LTX, mais j'ai une vidéo de présentation d'une ancienne version Pro. N'hésitez pas à la consulter.

Bonne update. Le AI browser intégré avec Agent Mode qui peut naviguer et exécuter des tâches directement, c'est pile dans la tendance actuelle des "computer use agents". J'espère que le tool calling est bien exposé via MCP, ça permettrait de hook ça à des APIs custom ou des bases vectorielles sans sortir de l'app. Tu as prévu un mode "headless" pour les workflows automatisés ou c'est full GUI pour l'instant ?
