Providers

Your providers

Add any site by its address, tell official from yours, remove and add back.

Can I add a site that is not built in?

Yes. Add provider on the Providers page takes any address. The site keeps its name, icon, the hosts AIObox learns for it, its settings and its macros, and opens with the panel in any profile, like a built-in provider. When the address belongs to a built-in provider, it joins that provider instead, and a macro with the same name as one already there is kept beside it under a new name.

What do Edited and Yours mean?

Each provider card on the Providers page and on a profile's page carries a small tag: Edited for a built-in provider you changed, Yours for one you added. An untouched built-in provider has none. Settings › Capabilities shows its Source and its Version, says when the official version moved on after your edit, and has Reset to official, which keeps your macros, added sites, icon and settings.

Can I remove a provider?

Yes, any provider, after AIObox asks. Removing your own deletes it. Removing a built-in one sets it aside: it waits under Ready-made in Add provider with Add back, and typing its address says you removed it earlier. While the provider has windows open, AIObox asks you to close them first and offers Show windows. On a shortcut card, Clear data, Settings and Remove provider sit in its three-dot menu.

Which pages belong to a provider?

Only pages on that provider's own hosts, and one host belongs to one provider. On a page of no provider, the panel still shows the profile and your prompts and says Not linked to a provider with the host. When one of your providers suggested that host, Add to that provider adds it and loads the page again as its page; Settings › Capabilities lists each suggestion with Add and Dismiss.

What if a provider does not load?

The Providers page shows one row for it in plain words, with the file to fix and Copy error. AIObox writes the same list to provider-problems.json in its data folder, so your AI can read it and fix the file; the guide for AI agents says how a provider is written.
