XICO AI is an AI startup based in Guangzhou. We build and run our own software — XicoClean, Machi, Nerva and more — on Mac, iPhone and the web, used by people in China, Japan and around the world. We also develop AI applications and custom software for businesses.
XicoClean and XICO Store are live, Machi is on the App Store, Xico is open for early access on the web, Nerva is in iOS beta and ServerGO is coming soon. We design, build and maintain every one of them ourselves.

Server management · Mac and iPhone
Coming soon
An AI on call for your servers.
A native server client for Mac and iPhone that brings Proxmox VE, Linux, Docker and the terminal into one app. Its AI runs read-only checks first, then suggests, and waits for your approval before it runs a command. Your passwords never leave your device.

Remote control for AI coding agents
iOS beta
Away from your desk. Still in control.
The nerve center for your AI coding agents. Codex, Claude and DSH keep working on your computer while you follow along, approve commands and continue the conversation from your phone, with end-to-end encryption.
New practice · In preparation
We are bringing what we have learned in native development, graphics and interaction into games. The work is still in preparation. Follow along, or get in touch about partnerships.
Each one maps to a shipped feature you can check for yourself. Client work is held to the same standard.
XicoClean and ServerGO are written natively in Swift and SwiftUI rather than wrapped web pages. They start faster, use less, and get everything the operating system offers.

AI may inspect and suggest, but deleting files or running commands always waits for your consent. XicoClean confirms each item before it cleans; ServerGO splits AI permissions into three levels and approves commands one by one; Nerva sends an agent's request to run something to your phone.

If it can be done on the device, it is not uploaded. XicoClean scans and analyses entirely on your Mac; ServerGO keeps passwords in the system keychain and connects straight to your servers; Nerva encrypts conversations on the device, so its relay only ever forwards ciphertext.

Missing data never means all clear. When collection fails, ServerGO says “no known alerts” instead of “healthy”; space XicoClean cannot measure is shown as “not measured”, never as 0.

Every XicoClean installer is notarized by Apple, and its cleaning rules and licence checks are digitally signed; the app verifies the signature before it uses either.

This site and XicoClean are available in 11 languages; Machi in Chinese, Japanese and English; ServerGO and Nerva in Chinese and English, and Nerva connects through nearby nodes in mainland China and Hong Kong.

These are the six kinds of project we deliver most. We usually start with one concrete step, prototype it on your real data, measure the time saved and the accuracy, and expand only once it has proven itself.
Hand repetitive multi-step work to AI: reading files, checking systems, writing reports. A person still signs off on the steps that matter.
Connect what's buried in your documents, sheets and chats to an LLM. Your team just asks, and every answer shows its source.
Answers customers around the clock, checks orders and suggests products, and hands tricky cases to a person along with the whole conversation.
Pull the key facts out of contracts, invoices, CVs and reports, check and summarise them, and write them into the systems you use.
Product copy, social posts and multilingual content in your brand's voice, written in bulk and checked by a person before anything goes out.
When the data is sensitive, the models run on your own servers or devices, so nothing leaves your network.
Building an AI feature that demos well is easy. The hard part comes after launch: are the results consistent, does it actually save time, do people want to open it every day? So when we try a new approach, it goes into our own products first. We run it, look at the data, and only then decide whether it belongs in client work.
Models change and tools move on, but what good software needs stays the same: a clear structure, quick responses and details that are right.
Whether you want to bring AI into an existing business, build a product from scratch or need a long-term engineering team, write to us. Share the background, goals and timeline, and we'll reply within 1–2 business days with how we'd approach it.
