Setup, inline edits, and Ghost Text

Baram has built-in AI writing assistance powered by Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Ollama (local).

Setup

1. Open Settings with Cmd+, (macOS) or Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux)
2. Go to the AI tab
3. Select your AI provider (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or Ollama)
4. Enter your API key (each provider has its own key field; Ollama requires no key)
5. Choose your preferred model (models are loaded dynamically from the provider)

Privacy Mode

Enable Privacy Mode in Settings > AI to prevent document content from being sent to cloud AI providers. When Privacy Mode is on, only Ollama (local) is allowed.

2. The AI processes your request with real-time streaming
3. Review the suggestion with character-level diff highlighting:
   • Green text = additions
   • Red text = deletions
4. Click Accept to apply or Reject to discard
