  2. Create an account
  3. Open API Keys
  4. Click Create Key
  5. Copy the key

Choosing a model

Once your API key is entered, click on the Model field. A list of available models will appear. You can:

If the test succeeds, the app will show that the connection is working.

Step 4: if you choose Local

Local mode lets you download a model to your computer.

At the moment, the app offers two models:

  • Qwen 3.5 — Recommended: good answer quality, fast and lightweight (~1.3 GB). Works on most computers.
  • Qwen 3.5 — Lightweight: very fast and very small (~550 MB). For older computers or those with limited memory.

The simple path is:

  1. choose Local
  2. download a model (the recommended model is the best choice)
  3. select that model
  4. use the assistant

You can also turn on the graphics card option if your computer supports it.

Step 5: language behavior

The assistant follows the active language of the app.

Two choices are available:

  • Follow the active language
  • Change only when asked

For most users, Follow the active language is the best choice.

To get started without complication:

  1. enable the assistant
  2. choose the service you want to use
  3. enter the needed information
  4. keep Follow the active language
  5. open the AI Chat page

When to come back to this tab

Come back here if:

  • the assistant does not respond
  • you want to switch services
  • you want to use local mode
  • you want to use a different model
  • you want to change how the assistant handles languages
