## Common questions

### Can I use Grida with local AI models instead of external provider keys?

Yes, you can bring your own provider keys for AI or use supported local text models with Ollama.

### Is the Grida AI Gateway available as a standalone service?

The standalone Grida AI Gateway service is coming soon. It is described as one API for creative models.

### What are the installation requirements for Grida CLI?

Install it with Node.js 24 or later using npm. The launcher selects the native executable, so no Rust toolchain is required.

### Will Grida CLI store my credentials on Windows?

Stored credentials currently support macOS and Linux. Windows users can supply BYOK through explicit environment variables or stdin, but durable account login is not supported there yet.

### Which Grida files should I back up after initializing a project?

Grida creates or changes .grida, .env, and grida.config.js. Back them up because losing or editing them incorrectly can break Grida.
