# LLM

Connect a language model, and an LLM chat opens from the top bar of every page. Ask it how to fix
a finding, what a product's riskiest findings have in common, or anything else; you can attach
findings and products to the question.

LLM integrations need a paid license. See [License](https://whitespots.io/docs/appsec-portal/administration/license).

An external LLM provider receives what you send to the chat, including the findings you attach,
and findings can contain secrets. When that matters, use a model that runs on your own servers,
such as Ollama.

## Connect a model

Open the settings, then **LLM Settings** under **Integrations**, and create an integration.

1. **Choose your LLM provider**: Claude, Open AI, Gemini, Ollama, or **Custom** for any other HTTP
   API.
2. **Authentication**: the API key from the provider's console, or for Ollama the URL of your
   server.
3. **Payload Config** and **Response Config** are filled in for the listed providers. For a custom
   API, enter the **Request payload (JSON)**, the **Prompt path in request payload** and the
   **Path to answer** in the response.
4. **Settings**:
   - **Use as default LLM in chat**: the model a new chat starts with.
   - **Use as default LLM for summary generation**: the model that summarizes the earlier messages
     of a chat, when the chat sends a summary instead of the whole history.
   - **Allow Manual Context**: users can attach findings and products to their questions.
   - **Allow Read Data Tools**: the model can look up data in Portal itself, for
     example to find the findings of a product. Click **View Read Tools** to see what it can read.
   - **Request Timeout (seconds)**.

**Run test request** checks the integration before you save it.

## Use the chat

Open the chat from the top bar. Each chat remembers its own history; **Add chat** starts another.

- **Ask** next to a finding's name opens the chat with the finding attached.
- In the lists of findings and products, the menu of each row adds it to the chat's context.
- **Context mode** sets how much of the conversation the model receives with each question:
  **No context**, **Last messages**, a **Summary** of the earlier messages, or the **Full** history.
- Each chat can use another model, chosen in its settings.

Check the answers before you act on them. **Tool calls** under an answer show what the model read
in Portal.
