Ami is now a desktop app! #2

As you probably know, Ami hasn't been working... initially we launched and realized the web interface and the dependency on the CLI daemon was flaky and hard to set up so we spent the last 3 weeks grinding.

With Ami Desktop, you can now run coding agents (Opus 4.5, GPT-4.5 Codex) from your computer without breaking your flow. Go try it out for free :) gonna get a lot better.

We'd love to hear your feedback (we'll track our progress here: ami.dev/changelog)
