Folge User Manual

# AI Helper

Folge has a built-in AI helper that can Expand, Rewrite, Shorten, Improve, and Simplify text for you. AI Helper operates with a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) concept, which means you need to create an API key for AI services Folge supports and register it in the app. This means that Folge communicates directly with the AI providers, avoiding the need to send your data anywhere else besides AI services.

Write step descriptions automatically

Beyond editing text, Folge can also write a step's description for you from its screenshot - one step at a time or across the whole guide. See AI Step Descriptions. The provider and key you set up below are shared by both features.

Settings

Folge supports the following AI providers:

  • ChatGPT via https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions endpoint
  • Claude via https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages endpoint
  • OpenRouter via https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions endpoint
  • Custom OpenAI API Compatible - connect any OpenAI-compatible API by specifying a custom host and path

Each API provider accepts two values:

  • Model name as free text
  • API Key

# ChatGPT

# Claude

# OpenRouter

# Custom OpenAI API Compatible

If you use a self-hosted or third-party OpenAI-compatible API (e.g. Ollama, LM Studio, Mistral, or any other provider), select Custom OpenAI API Compatible from the provider dropdown. You will need to provide:

  • Api Host - the base URL of the API, e.g. https://api.openai.com/v1
  • Api Path - the endpoint path, e.g. /chat/completions
  • Model - the model name as accepted by your provider
  • API Key - your API key (if required by the provider)

# Custom Instructions

The Custom Instructions field in AI Settings lets you add your own guidance that is appended to every AI request, on top of Folge's built-in prompt. Use it to set a preferred tone, writing style, or any rule the AI should always follow.

Writing in another language. This is also how you make the AI respond in a specific language. For example, enter:

Always use Ukrainian language

and every AI result - including generated step descriptions - will be written in Ukrainian.

These instructions apply to all AI actions: the writing actions (Expand, Rewrite, Shorten, Improve, Simplify) and the AI Step Descriptions feature.

# Custom Prompt

You can replace Folge's built-in prompt entirely with your own. When a custom prompt is set, it is used instead of the default system prompt for AI Writing actions. This gives you full control over how the AI behaves - useful if you want a specific output format, persona, or domain-specific behaviour.

# Calling AI from the step description editor.

To use AI you need to either select text you would like AI to work with and click the dropdown to choose any action you would like AI to perform. By Just clicking the ✨ icon you will always trigger the Expand action
