AI Features
solyto uses AI in a few focused places, always on-demand and never for training on your data.
What AI does
Section titled “What AI does”- Library recommendations — the Music and Book libraries can recommend entries based on your collection (“A favorite”, “Something I haven’t seen before”, “Something random”, “Something new”)
- Quick Add detection — the Quick Add feature detects content types from pasted text/URLs
How it’s powered
Section titled “How it’s powered”AI requests go through the solyto backend (an OpenAI-compatible API). Nothing is sent until you trigger a recommendation or detection, and your data is never used to train models.
Configuration
Section titled “Configuration”The AI backend is configured server-side. When self-hosting, you can point it at your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
AI_API_KEY | API key for the AI service |
AI_BASE_URL | API endpoint URL |
AI_MODEL | Default model |
See Self-Hosting Configuration for the full list of variables.
