VOOLDocs

First run#

The first launch sets up a workspace and asks which model to use. Nothing is sent anywhere during setup.

What happens#

  1. A workspace is created. A workspace is a folder VOOL is allowed to read and write. See Workspaces.
  2. You choose a model. Local runtimes already installed are detected. Cloud providers are listed but stay inactive until you add a key.
  3. The mode indicator appears. It reads LOCAL or CLOUD and reflects the model currently selected.

What VOOL does not do at first run#

  • It does not create an account.
  • It does not require a cloud key. A local model is enough to use the app.
  • It does not index your whole drive. Only the workspace folder you pick is readable.

You can change the workspace at any time. Removing a folder from the workspace removes VOOL's access to it.

Next#

Continue to Connect a model.
