Usage Guide

Workspace Overview

Annodex is organized around three common tasks: chatting with the agent, browsing project files, and checking running chats.

• Chat — ask questions, run analysis, switch models, and send files.
• Files — open project files and preview Markdown, images, reports, and generated outputs.
• Tools — check active chats and stop a running task when needed.

Configure Models

Open Settings → Models to add an API key and enable models.

For a quick setup:

1. Click Settings.
2. Open Models.
3. Click Add provider.
4. Choose a provider preset such as Moonshot AI, Zhipu AI, MiniMax, OpenRouter, or use a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
5. Paste your API key.
6. Save.

After saving, choose the model from the chat model selector.

Switch Models and Chat Settings

In the chat input area, use the model selector to switch models for the next message. You can also open More to adjust model, thinking level, tools, and sandbox settings.

Use Skills

Open Settings → Skills to review global and project skills. Skills describe domain-specific workflows the agent can use, such as batch command execution, enrichment analysis, or document processing.

Preview Files and Reports

Use the Files tab to browse project files. Markdown files render as readable documents, and generated reports can be inspected without leaving the browser.

On mobile, the file preview keeps the same tabs and document layout in a narrow screen.

Check Running Chats

Open the Tools tab to see active agent runtimes. If a task is still running, the status shows STREAMING. Use Abort when you need to stop it.

Mobile Use

Annodex works on phone browsers. This is useful when Annodex is running on a Linux server and you open it from another device on the same network.

On mobile you can:

• read and continue chats;
• switch models;
• open More settings;
• inspect file previews;
• send messages from the compact input bar.
