What is Vesta AI Explorer?

Vesta is a native SwiftUI application for macOS that brings AI capabilities directly to Apple Silicon. It supports five AI backends including Apple Intelligence, MLX, and llama.cpp for on-device inference, plus connections to 31+ cloud providers like OpenAI and HuggingFace. The app includes vision analysis, text-to-speech with 45+ voices, image and video generation, and syntax-highlighted code blocks.

Designed for users who prefer natural language interaction over traditional GUIs, Vesta features an Agentic Sidekick that lets you control the app through conversation. It exposes 33+ tools via Model Context Protocol for automation from Claude Code and other MCP clients. The maker reports the app was built using Claude Code as an experiment in agentic development.
