AIUI Guide
+ v1.0 ++ AIUI is your AI assistant running directly on your Archipelago node. It can see your installed apps, + read your files, check Bitcoin and Lightning status, and help you manage everything — all privately, + with no data leaving your node. +
++ + Node Awareness +
++ When running on your Archipelago node, AIUI automatically knows about your setup. It sees which apps + are installed, your system status, network connectivity, and more. Just ask naturally: +
++ + File Browsing & Reading +
+
+ AIUI can browse and read text files stored in your Nextcloud instance. It supports common text formats
+ like .txt, .md, .json, .csv, .log,
+ .yaml, .conf, and many more.
+
+ + Bitcoin Node Status +
++ If you have Bitcoin Core running on your node, AIUI can check the blockchain sync status, + current block height, and mempool information in real-time. +
++ + Lightning Network (LND) +
++ AIUI can query your LND node for channel information, peer count, on-chain and channel balances, + and sync status. Your private keys and macaroons are never exposed. +
++ + App Logs +
++ When an app isn't working right, AIUI can pull recent log output to help diagnose issues. + It reads the last 50 lines by default (up to 200). +
++ + App Management +
++ AIUI can help you navigate your node, open installed apps, and even install new ones from the + marketplace. It checks what's already installed before recommending anything. +
++ + Chat Features +
+Conversation History
+All chats are saved locally on your node. Switch between conversations using the history panel.
+Edit Messages
+Click any of your sent messages to edit and re-send them. The AI will regenerate its response.
+Branch Conversations
+Fork a conversation at any point to explore a different direction without losing the original thread.
+Web Search
+When enabled, AIUI can search the web to find current information and include sources in its responses.
+Image Support
+Attach images to your messages for visual questions. AIUI can analyze screenshots, photos, and diagrams.
+Dark / Light Theme
+AIUI adapts to your preferred theme. Toggle between dark and light mode in the settings.
++ + Privacy & Permissions +
++ AIUI only accesses what you allow. Your node data categories (apps, files, wallet, bitcoin, network, system) + are permission-gated. You control exactly what context AIUI can see through the Archy permissions panel. +
++ + Tips +
+-
+
- Be specific — "Read my bitcoin.conf" works better than "show me config files" +
- AIUI remembers context within a conversation, so you can ask follow-up questions +
- If something seems wrong with an app, ask AIUI to check the logs first +
- You can ask AIUI to explain what a config file does after reading it +
- Use the history panel to return to previous conversations at any time +
+ + Try It Out +
++ Load a demo conversation that showcases all the node search capabilities described above. + You'll see example exchanges for checking Bitcoin status, reading files, viewing logs, and more. +
