When AgentBridge starts, you will see a full-screen chat window, similar to a messaging application. At the same time, a small local server starts on your machine that other programs can use to speak with the same assistant. You do not need to worry about this detail, because everything works together automatically.

## If Windows blocks the app the first time
18
+
19

Windows has a built-in protection that watches programs you download from the internet. Because AgentBridge is not yet digitally signed with a commercial certificate (we are still arranging one), Windows may stop it the first time you open it and show a warning. This is normal for newer software that is not signed, and it does not mean the program is harmful. AgentBridge is open source, so anyone can read exactly what it does. Here is how to get past the warning.
20

21

**The blue "Windows protected your PC" window (SmartScreen).** This is the most common case. The window says that SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Click the small **More info** link in that window, and a **Run anyway** button appears. Click it and the program starts. You only need to do this once.
22
+
23
+
**Unblock the file instead.** If you prefer, right-click the file named agent.exe, choose **Properties**, and at the bottom of the General tab tick the **Unblock** checkbox, then click **Apply** and **OK**. This tells Windows the file is trusted, so it stops interrupting you. You can also do it for the whole folder from PowerShell with `Unblock-File` on the files inside it.
24
+
25
+
**"Smart App Control blocked an app" (Windows 11).** Smart App Control is a stricter protection that some Windows 11 computers have turned on. Unlike SmartScreen, it blocks every unsigned program and does not offer a "Run anyway" button for a single app. To run AgentBridge you need to turn Smart App Control off: open the Start menu, search for **Windows Security**, go to **App & browser control**, open **Smart App Control settings**, and choose **Off**. Please read this before you do it: once Smart App Control is turned off it cannot be turned back on again without reinstalling Windows, so only turn it off if you trust where you downloaded the program from. Downloading AgentBridge from the official download page or the official GitHub releases page is the trusted source.

If you would rather not change any Windows setting, the one-line installer described above runs the download and setup for you and is the smoothest way to get going on Windows.

The first time you start AgentBridge, the assistant begins reading your documents folder in the background. If you have a large collection of files, this first indexing can take a few minutes, but you can start chatting right away while it works. From that moment on, the assistant can answer questions using the information found in your own files, instead of guessing.

Most cloud providers require a key that identifies you. When you add a cloud provider, the window asks for its API key, and the key is hidden while you type. Local providers, which run on your own computer, do not need a key. All your keys are stored on your machine and are never touched by an update.

Most cloud providers require a key that identifies you. Open the LLM & Provider panel and you will see a "API key" box right under the provider selector: it shows the key of the provider currently chosen in the dropdown, and you can paste or change it there and press Save. Switching the provider in the dropdown loads that provider's own key, so you always edit the right one. The key stays hidden while you type. You can also set it when you add or edit a provider from the list below. Local providers, which run on your own computer, do not need a key, so you can leave the box empty for them. All your keys are stored on your machine and are never touched by an update.

For market analysis, financial reports, or any analytical document, the assistant produces accurate PDF reports with professional sources and a level of detail that is hard to match by hand. Just describe the topic and the depth you need, and the report comes back as a finished PDF.

## Turning the document tools on
14
+
15
+
These abilities come from tools, and the assistant starts with only the everyday ones
16
+
switched on so that it stays quick and light. If you ask for a document, a spreadsheet,
17
+
a presentation or a PDF and it replies that it has no tool for that, it simply means the
18
+
right tool is not active in your current conversation yet. Turn it on with the
19
+
**`/tools`** command: a checklist opens, tick the tool you need, and close it — your choice
20
+
is remembered. If you already know what the conversation is about, name a ready-made
21
+
combination straight after the command.
22
+
23
+
Which combination to pick:
24

25
+
-**`/tools multi-files`** is the easiest all-round choice. It lets the assistant write
26

Word documents, build spreadsheets with charts, make a slide deck you open in the
27

browser, and produce PDF reports, all in the same conversation.
28
+
-**`/tools document-files`** when you only want documents and PDF reports.
29
+
-**`/tools office-files`** when you need a real PowerPoint file (`.pptx`), a real Word
30
+
file (`.docx`) or a real Excel file (`.xlsx`) that you will keep editing in Microsoft
31
+
Office. This is the tool that produces genuine Office files rather than a browser deck.
32
+
-**`/tools all-files`** turns on everything at once.
33
+
34
+
A note on presentations: the slide decks made in the `multi-files` conversation open in
35
+
your web browser (press F11 for full screen) and look like a real presentation, but they
36
+
are not a `.pptx` file. If you specifically need a `.pptx` you can hand to someone else or
37
+
open in PowerPoint, use `/tools office-files`.

The assistant remembers the style it used for your documents and keeps it for future work. If you want a different look, you simply ask, and it adjusts the result to your taste.
