MATLOOK Work with AI
Local models & offline work
Connect a model service you manage and understand the local workflow.
Does MATLOOK Agent include a local model?#
No. MATLOOK Agent does not bundle or automatically start a model runtime. Prepare Ollama, LM Studio or another compatible service yourself, then add a connection in MATLOOK Agent.
Configuration order#
- Install, configure and start the service on the execution computer, and load a model.
- Confirm the model ID, endpoint and authentication requirements in that service.
- In MATLOOK Agent Settings → AI, choose an appropriate compatible connection and enter those details.
- Test plain text first, then the tool or image capabilities your task requires.
- After installing all dependencies, disconnect the network and verify the workflow you actually need.
Offline boundaries#
| Work | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Local knowledge editing and full-text search | Local sources and index are available |
| Installed tools and skills | Scripts, templates and dependencies are installed; the action itself does not need a network |
| Model inference | Local service is running and supports the task |
| Online models, web collection and remote sync | Network access and the relevant service |
Common confusion#
localhost and 127.0.0.1 refer to the computer running the connection. Using that address on ECS does not reach a model in your office. A model that chats successfully may still lack suitable tool-calling or vision support.
