What it does
ShowAI turns an agent answer into a page you can work with: charts, tables, diagrams and calculators with sliders. The plugin connects six skills and a stdio MCP launcher to Claude Code or Codex, while the ShowAI app stores pages and opens them for editing. Pages live in a local library with version history, and the agent reads your edits and continues from them. When a component is missing the agent builds a new one, and pages that work become templates. A finished page exports as standalone HTML, a static site or a `.showai.json` source.
Who it is for. Developers, analysts and product managers who go through an agent answer with charts and calculators and return to it later.
Good fit when
- You need a calculator with sliders, such as a mortgage, tariff or payback model.
- An agent compares options and a table re-sorted by your criteria reads better than prose.
- A report or route goes to a colleague as a file that opens without ShowAI installed.
- One page goes through several rounds of edits and the agent continues from your changes.
Not a fit when
- A short text answer in chat is enough.
- You have no Apple silicon Mac and do not want to build the browser edition from source.
- You need an Apple-notarized install: current builds are not notarized yet.
Example request
Use ShowAI to build a mortgage calculator: price, down payment, rate and term are adjustable, with monthly payment and total interest shown.Limitations
The app is built for Macs with Apple silicon (macOS 13 or later). Current builds are not notarized by Apple, so macOS may block the first launch. Windows and Linux get only the browser edition, built from source with Node.js 22.12 or later. Without a running app or a registered runtime the plugin cannot find the page library. Collaboration goes through ShowAI Cloud or a self-hosted ShowAI Server. The iPad app is not public, DeepSeek Harness and Kimi Work are in preview, and ChatGPT on the web is invite only.
How to disable. Disable or remove the plugin in Claude Code or Codex and restart the agent. The page library stays in `~/.showai` and is removed separately.
FAQ
How do I connect ShowAI to Claude Code?
Install the app, open Settings, Plugins section, install the plugin and restart the agent. From source use `claude plugin marketplace add ./` and `claude plugin install showai@renaissance-mind`.
Which skills does the plugin install?
Six: `use-showai`, `show-document`, `show-visual`, `collaborate-canvas`, `create-component` and `create-template`.
Does ShowAI need an account?
No. The library is local, and an account is needed only for ShowAI Cloud and collaboration.
Does the result open without ShowAI?
Yes. Standalone HTML keeps reading and interaction offline, and a `.showai.json` source is saved next to it for further editing.
Which agents are supported?
Claude Code and Codex are fully supported, DeepSeek Harness and Kimi Work are in preview. Other MCP clients are set up by hand through a stdio entry.
