What is AION?

AION is an AI-native programming language built with Python. It combines the simplicity of Python, the readability of natural language, and native AI capabilities — making it the first programming language where AI is a first-class citizen.

use ai
use database

name = "Emmanuel"
show "Hello {name}!"

answer = ai_ask("What should I build today?")
show answer

db_connect("myapp.db")
db_create("ideas", "title text, created text")
db_insert("ideas", "My first AION app, 2026-01-01")
