AI with your own key

Docodez doesn't ship its own AI: you use the provider you choose, with your key. That way you know who receives each request and you only pay for what you use.

What it can do

• Translate a note (from its menu, Translate…) while keeping the formatting.
• Dictate in the editors, and translate while you dictate.
• Read the text in a photo (OCR) and split the objects in a photo in the photo editor.
• Whatever plugins ask for: for example, reading the fuel pump or the odometer in the Car Log.

Set it up

1. Install the provider's plugin (OpenAI, Claude, Groq, Ollama or LiteLLM) from Settings → Extractors and plugins → Plugins….
2. Open Settings → Extractors and plugins → AI providers….
3. Paste your key (the dialog says where to get it). It is stored protected on your device.
4. Test the connection and check that you agree to send your requests to that provider.

AI buttons appear by themselves when a provider is ready for that task. Each request shows a small window with the provider and a Cancel button.

Which one should I choose?

• Groq: fast, with a free tier with limits. A good place to start.
• OpenAI or Claude: very good; paid per use.
• Ollama: if you have a computer with a good graphics card, the models run at home and nothing leaves your network.

Always check what the AI returns before saving it: it can be wrong.
