AI Assistant
Consent-based source conversations and quizzes while local capture, notes, preview, and search remain provider-free.
AI is optional for Arivu, but it is required to generate source conversations and quizzes. Capture, reading, source preview, notes, links, and local full-text Search work without a provider.
At /learn, start from one source, up to eight selected sources, or passages found by topic. Arivu fixes no more than 16 passages for the session. Before each request, the preview names the provider, host, model, and content destination. Nothing is sent until you consent. A destination change requires fresh consent.
Each conversation allows up to six exchanges. Claims must cite exact quotations or report that the evidence is not enough. A matching quote does not prove the claim, so check the source. AI replies are generated content and never become original evidence for another conversation or quiz.
Each quiz contains three questions with four choices. Correct answers, explanations, and citations remain hidden until all choices are submitted. Saved passages and AI answers become editable notes with source links; generated answers keep an AI marker. Full exports include sessions.
The deterministic legacy answer API remains available for compatibility. It is not the current chat experience. Retired Assistant actions cannot create tasks or change planning fields.
Admins choose the provider, model, API key, and base URL in settings. See Environment Variables for setup and Search and Ask for the source-learning flow.
