Connect AI Tools

Before connecting an AI tool, ask a simple question: Is this AI running on your local machine or on the web/cloud? The answer determines the entry point.

A local agent can access local addresses; an AI on the web typically cannot directly access 127.0.0.1 and requires a Connector or a public relay method.

| Your Situation | What to Check First | Next Step | | --- | --- | --- | | Not sure where to start | Current page title and main entry points | Select only the item relevant to your current goal | | Results are unexpected after an operation | Status, empty prompts, access logs, or sync progress | Go back one level and troubleshoot step by step | | Concerned about affecting data | Backup, sync, account, or permission notes | Stop first, confirm the scope, then proceed |

Don’t try all connection methods together. First, choose the runtime location, then check the required access codes and addresses.

After reading this section, go back to the task you are working on and choose only one minimal action to continue: log an input, check a status, or open the relevant settings to complete a confirmation.
