Overview

Capabilities give the AI extra skills that the model can’t do on its own, such as searching the web. You choose the service behind each one, once, for the whole platform. Builders don’t need their own keys. Go to Platform admin → AI Center → Capabilities. Capabilities page
Capabilities are available on Cloud and self-hosted Enterprise. Community Edition doesn’t have this page.

​
The four capabilities

The page has two groups. Chat and agents Knowledge bases An AI provider key used for a capability must serve all projects. Add or edit keys on the Providers page.

​
What the card shows

The bottom of each card tells you where the capability stands:
  • Using and a name: the capability is on. The name is the service or key it runs on, followed by the model when there is one.
  • Works with and a list: nothing serves the capability yet. The list shows which keys can.
When you haven’t set a capability up, it may still work through your chat key. Web search and image generation use the key behind your Default chat model when that provider supports them. Embeddings use the chat key when it supports embeddings, and otherwise your AI credits. In that case the card already shows Using with that key’s name.

​
Set up a capability

1

Open the card

Click Set up on the capability. If it is already in use, the button says Change.
2

Pick the source

When there is more than one option, pick it under Source: one of your AI provider keys or an outside service.
3

Enter the details

For an outside service, paste its API key. The dialog links to where you get one. For an AI provider key, pick the Image model or Embedding model when the capability needs one.
4

Save

Click Save.
If no key can serve Embeddings, the card shows Connect a provider instead. Add a key that serves all projects and supports embeddings first.
Changing the Embeddings key or model doesn’t re-index files. Files already in knowledge bases keep their old vectors. Re-upload them to search with the new key or model.

​
Reset a capability

Hover the card and click the trash icon to Reset it. This removes the saved API key or key choice. The capability then goes back to your chat key, if that key supports it. Otherwise it turns off.

​
Providers vs capabilities

Providers connect the AI models that chat, agents and AI steps run on. Capabilities add skills on top of those models: web search, web scraping, image generation and embeddings.
