AI Features

solyto uses AI in a few focused places, always on-demand and never for training on your data.

  • 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

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.

The AI backend is configured server-side. When self-hosting, you can point it at your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint:

VariableDescription
AI_API_KEYAPI key for the AI service
AI_BASE_URLAPI endpoint URL
AI_MODELDefault model

See Self-Hosting Configuration for the full list of variables.
