API Keys
The backend reads provider keys from the environment. No keys = free offline mode.
Copy .env.example to .env at the backend root. Restart the server after changing.
Free model connector
Choose how the Free plan reaches no-cost models before any Hybrid or Premium paid source is used.
This selects the model reference the backend should use for FREE_LOCAL_MODEL.
Balanced writing, analysis, and everyday prompt work.
ollama pull llama3.1FREE_LOCAL_MODEL=ollama:llama3.1How to change the local model
- 1Install the model on this PC: ollama pull llama3.1
- 2Set FREE_LOCAL_MODEL=ollama:llama3.1 in backend\.env.
- 3Keep OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434 unless Ollama runs somewhere else.
- 4Restart the backend so the router reads the new model.
- 5Run a prompt in Studio. If the local model is offline, the router falls back instead of failing.
Free runs try the local open-source model first, then configured free connectors, then the deterministic offline engine.
Local answered prompts stay on this PC. Cloud fallback may send the prompt to the configured free connector, so keep the toggle off for private-only work.
Backend note: the router already reads FREE_LOCAL_MODEL and OLLAMA_BASE_URL. Persist this UI to backend settings when runtime configuration endpoints are added.

Context memory

Security & privacy
Encryption, your audit trail, and data controls.
Passwords are hashed with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (200k iterations, per-user salt) — never stored in plain text. Traffic is served over HTTPS/TLS, and data is encrypted at rest. Secrets in your prompts are masked before any external model call.
