Nextcloud Assistant

Use Cortecs models with Nextcloud Assistant

Nextcloud Assistant adds AI writing, summaries, and chat to Nextcloud. Connect it to Cortecs through the OpenAI and LocalAI integration app.

Before you begin, create a Cortecs API key by following the Member quickstart and choose a text model from the model catalog.

1. Enable the apps

In Nextcloud, open Apps, search for Nextcloud Assistant and OpenAI and LocalAI integration, then install and enable both.

2. Connect to Cortecs

Open Administration settings → Artificial intelligence and configure the OpenAI and LocalAI integration:

Field	Value
Service URL	https://api.cortecs.ai/v1
Authentication	API key
API key	Your Cortecs API key
Text completion endpoint	Chat completions
Default completion model to use	Your chosen Cortecs model from the model list

Keep /v1 in the service URL. The app adds the request path automatically.

3. Try Assistant

If multiple AI providers are installed, select the OpenAI and LocalAI integration for the text tasks you want to use in the AI administration settings. Open Assistant and submit a short text-generation or summary task.

For background-job setup and troubleshooting, see the Nextcloud Assistant administration guide. For integration settings, see the OpenAI and LocalAI integration 4.2 documentation.
