Connect an AI Model

MapAperture runs on Windows 10 and 11. You choose the model that fits your privacy needs. The agent uses your chosen endpoint for every task.

Choose Your Model

Cloud AI Provider

Connect a standard API endpoint to a cloud provider. Your prompts and file text leave your PC. The agent sends requests to this remote service. Privacy depends on the provider's policy. You control the endpoint URL and the API key.

Local PC Model

Run a model directly on your computer. This keeps your secrets and code private. You need sufficient hardware resources. The agent connects to the local service. Speed depends on your hardware. Use this for sensitive proprietary code.

Built-in Model

Use the built-in model, ready to use without your own endpoint.

Check Connection Health

Press the Test button to verify your setup. The agent sends a small request to your endpoint. It shows the response time and the context window. This confirms the model is reachable. Use this before running complex tasks.

Select the Right Size

Use a bigger model for complex refactors. Send hard steps with the run_on_model tool. Smaller models handle small edits well.

Quality varies between different model providers. Always review the diff before accepting changes. Use Ask first to pause before edits. This gives you time to inspect the code. You stay in control of every change.
