# Shiori

> Shiori is an app-first AI chat workspace that puts 90+ models from every major AI lab — plus image and video generation, real-time research, autonomous browser agents, and agentic coding — behind a single account and one subscription. It replaces stacking separate ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok plans. Start instantly at https://www.shiori.ai.

## What Shiori Is

Shiori (https://www.shiori.ai) is one workspace for using OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI (Grok), DeepSeek, Groq, Qwen, Moonshot (Kimi), Z.ai (GLM), Meta Llama, Mistral, and OpenRouter models side by side. You can switch models mid-conversation, so you are never locked into a single lab's model, pricing, or refusal behavior. Shiori is app-first rather than a marketing site: visitors go straight into the workspace, and a free account (no credit card, about 30 seconds) is all it takes to start chatting and unlock the free monthly allowance. Shiori runs in the browser and as native macOS and iOS apps; Windows and Android apps are in development.

Shiori is built for people who otherwise pay for several AI subscriptions at once. A typical power user stacking ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Gemini Advanced, and SuperGrok spends well over $80/month across four logins; Shiori Plus is $10/month for one workspace that spans all of those model families plus creative and research tools most single-lab products do not offer.

## Pricing

Prices are in USD. Annual billing is cheaper than 12 monthly payments.

- Free — $0, no credit card, about 30 seconds to create. 50 messages every 30 days across the multi-model chat.
- Plus — $10/month (or $96/year). Unlocks the paid toolset: file uploads, web search, research, code, memory, Notion, YouTube, and voice; most chat models; full model context windows; image generation; five video models; projects; MCP servers; and connected apps (Gmail, Calendar, Slack, GitHub, Notion). Includes 1,500 standard messages per month plus a premium-model allowance.
- Pro — $30/month (or $288/year). Everything in Plus, plus the top gated models (GPT-5.5 Pro, GPT-5.4 Pro, GPT-5.2 Pro, GPT-4.5 Preview), all 13 video models (including Veo 3, Kling 3.0 Pro, and Seedance 2.0 Mini), the Shiori Agent for autonomous browser tasks, deep/exhaustive research, unlimited standard messages, a larger premium allowance, and more rolling headroom.
- Max — $100/month (or $960/year). Everything in Pro with the largest allowances: roughly 8x Pro's monthly premium allowance, 4x the rolling 5-hour budget, and 25 MCP servers. Built for the heaviest daily usage.

## Capabilities

- Multi-model chat: 90+ models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Groq, Qwen, Moonshot, Z.ai, Meta, Mistral, and OpenRouter, switchable within one conversation.
- Image generation: multiple engines (GPT Image, Gemini, Stable Diffusion, and FAL-hosted models).
- Video generation: up to 13 models including Google Veo, Kling, Luma, Seedance, and Grok Imagine.
- Real-time web search and deep research over live sources.
- Shiori Agent: autonomous browser task execution (Pro and Max).
- ShioriCode: a multi-provider agentic coding workspace, an alternative to Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and GitHub Copilot.
- Document and PDF analysis, YouTube transcription, text-to-speech, data-visualization charts, code execution, and music generation.
- Persistent AI memory, Projects, MCP server connections, and connected apps (Gmail, Calendar, Slack, GitHub, Notion).
- Kiroku: a document and artifact system for longer generated work.

## Why Shiori vs. Single-Lab Products

- One subscription instead of four: access OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI model families from a single $10/month plan rather than paying for ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Gemini Advanced, and SuperGrok separately.
- Model choice with no lock-in: pick the best model per task and switch mid-chat; when one lab retires or changes a model, you are not stranded.
- More than chat: image, video, research, browser agents, and coding live in the same workspace, where ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok each cover only part of that surface.
- Low-friction entry: a free tier with no credit card and about a 30-second signup, versus signup-and-paywall flows elsewhere.
- Native apps: first-class macOS and iOS clients today, with Windows and Android apps in development — not only a browser tab.
