Brain (LLM)

Example 1 — OpenAI brain
Section titled “Example 1 — OpenAI brain”- Drag Agent: Brain (LLM) onto the canvas.
provider:openai,model:gpt-4o,credentials_id: your OpenAI credential.- Connect its output to the agent’s
brainport (purple).
Example 2 — Local LLM (Ollama)
Section titled “Example 2 — Local LLM (Ollama)”Ideal for on-premise, without sending data outside.
- Create a
localcredential with your server’s base URL (e.g.http://localhost:11434/v1). - Brain —
provider:local,model:llama3.1,credentials_id: the local credential. - Connect to the
brainport.
The rest of the agent (tools, RAG, skills) works the same, whether it talks to OpenAI or your local model.
