AI Plugins

What is an AI plugin?

An AI plugin allows you to extend the capability of a large language model (LLM) using Function Calling (or Tool Use).

BoltAI supports multiple AI plugins: Web Search, Web Browing, AppleScript, Shell Access, FFmpeg...

Starting from v1.34, you can also use any MCP server in BoltAI.

How to use an AI plugin?

When starting a new chat, click on the Plugin and enable the plugins you want to use (screenshot 1).

You can also enable or disable a plugin mid-conversation using the Chat Configuration popover (screenshot 2)

NOTICE:

• Some plugins might require a paid API account (Perplexity, Kagi etc.)

• This feature requires the AI model to support Function Calling capability.

The AI model will smartly decide which plugins to use, or not using any at all.

I don't see the Plugin option. Why?

This feature requires the AI model to support Function Calling capability. If you don't see the Plugin option, it means the AI model you're using doesn't support this capability.

Try switching to a more capable AI model.
