Settings, models, and troubleshooting

Model settings

AI features depend on models available to the active account. In Settings, confirm that:

• you are signed in with the intended account;
• the text model catalog loads;
• a default text model is selected;
• the model selected at the top of Chat is available.

To connect a local or private model service, see Custom models.

Chat does not respond

Check the login session, model catalog, network connection, selected model capability, and whether the request is specific enough. If context is missing, ask Chat to list the information it needs first.

Space environment variables

Each Space can maintain a project-level .env file:

PROJECT_NAME=My Research
API_BASE_URL=https://example.com

Do not store long-lived secrets in shared documents. If the Space is synchronized or committed to Git, make sure .env is ignored.

Shell and Agent access

Writing, organizing, and summarizing do not require shell access. Shell or Agent access becomes relevant when a task must run commands, process a local project, call tools, or read and write files. Understand the requested action before approving it.

For collaboration, server, and synchronization issues, see Troubleshooting.
