Set Up ASI:One for Work

Set Up ASI:One in Eigent

Overview

Eigent is a free desktop app you hand tasks to. You describe what you want done, and it works through the steps on your computer. Connect it to ASI:One and it does that work with ASI:One models.

Some things you can ask it to do:

  • Research a topic on the web and summarize what it finds.
  • Write, edit and tidy up documents.
  • Sort, rename and work with files on your computer.
  • Work in apps you connect to it, like Slack, Gmail and Notion.

Setup takes a few minutes and doesn’t need any code.

Setup guide

What you need

  • Eigent, downloaded from eigent.ai and installed.
  • An ASI:One API key. Create one at asi1.ai/developer. It’s a long code that starts with sk_. Copy it, you’ll paste it in shortly. While you’re on that page, check which models you have access to. You’ll enter one of them below.

Connect ASI:One

  1. Open Eigent. The first time you open it, click Continue on each of the three setup screens until the settings menu appears on the left.

  2. If it says Please select a model, click Select a model. Otherwise, click Models in the settings menu on the left.

  3. Scroll down the list of providers and click OpenAI Compatible. It’s near the bottom, just above Local model.

  4. Fill in the three boxes:

    BoxWhat to enter
    API Key SettingYour ASI:One API key
    API Host Settinghttps://api.asi1.ai/v1
    Model Type SettingCheck which models you have access to at asi1.ai/developer. Enter asi1-ultra if you have it, otherwise enter asi1.

    Leave Model Parameters (JSON) empty.

  5. Click Save. After a few seconds you’ll see Validate success, and a green dot appears next to OpenAI Compatible.

You may also see Google Search not configured. That’s fine to ignore. Eigent still works, it just has fewer ways to search the web.

Make ASI:One the default

Scroll back to the top of the Models page. Under Default setting, the dropdown should show Custom model / OpenAI Compatible, followed by the model you entered. If it shows something else, open it and pick that option.

Try it

  1. Click Untitled Space at the top of the window, then click New in the left sidebar to start a new task.
  2. Under the message box, check that the model reads OpenAI Compatible, followed by the model you entered.
  3. Type a first message, for example Hello, what can you help me with?, and press Enter.

Eigent shows what it’s working on, then replies. From here, describe any task in your own words.

If something goes wrong

What you seeWhat to do
Please select a model when you start a taskASI:One isn’t the default yet. Follow Make ASI:One the default.
Save doesn’t show Validate successCheck that the whole key was pasted, and that the host and model name match the table above exactly, with no extra spaces.
Rate limit exceededIf you entered asi1-ultra, check that it’s one of the models you have access to at asi1.ai/developer. If it isn’t, change Model Type Setting to asi1 and click Save, or upgrade your plan.
It worked before but now failsYour key may have been deleted or replaced. Create a new one at asi1.ai/developer and paste it into API Key Setting.
