Add-ons

An add-on is a separate program that gives LocalAI new tools, such as reading a mailbox, making an office document or running code in an isolated runtime. The host installs it, starts it and limits what it may do.

• User guide: find, install, turn on, update and remove add-ons.
• Catalogue: what each add-on adds, who installs it and who turns it on.
• Build your own add-on: a tutorial with one tool and one skill.
• Build an add-on in your own repository: use the Go SDK packages from another module and pack a zip file with addonpkg.
• Paired clients: inference with a client key, and the routes, event stream and host operations of an add-on client.
• Contract reference: the full specification for add-on authors.
• Testing add-ons: how to run focused add-on tests.
