# YveChat
The Sovereign AI Workspace
Your models. Your machine. Your workspace.
YveChat connects a hosted workspace to AI models running on your computer. Your models, conversations, images, and compute stay on your machine.
***
#### One word
Money learned this lesson first.
A generation discovered that holding your own keys changes your relationship to what you own. Custody moved from an institution to an individual. The phrase became a rule: your keys, your coins.
Intelligence is next.
Today the work of thinking happens inside accounts owned by other people. Prompts, drafts, research, contracts, and half-formed ideas accumulate on servers you will never see, under terms you did not write. The most personal record of how a person reasons has become someone else's asset.
YveChat applies self-custody to that record.
***
#### What you hold
| Layer | What you hold | How it is held |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Compute** | The model itself | Ollama and ComfyUI running on your hardware |
| **Data** | Conversations and generated images | A database on your own disk, managed locally |
| **Access** | The link between browser and machine | A six-digit code you approve yourself |
| **Identity** | Your profile | A local account, or an optional wallet signature |
Four layers. Each one held by you.

#### Where to start
| You want to | Go to |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Install it and run a model | [Getting Started](/wp/getting-started.md) |
| Understand how it works | [Architecture](/wp/architecture.md) |
| See what ships today | [Capabilities](/wp/capabilities.md) |
| Check the claims | [Limitations](/wp/product-scope/limitations.md) |
| Look up a term | [Glossary](/wp/res/glossary.md) |

#### What this document covers
The pages ahead set out the problem in the market, the position YveChat occupies, the setup a new user follows, the architecture that delivers it, the honest limits of that architecture, and the economics of the `$YVE` token.
Every capability carries one of three labels: Available, Experimental, or Planned. The limits are stated as plainly as the strengths. Every constraint in [Limitations](/wp/product-scope/limitations.md) carries a link to its primary source, because a sovereignty claim that dissolves under checking is worth nothing.
{% hint style="info" %}
YveChat is a developer preview. An unsigned preview archive is available now; signed production installers and streamlined onboarding remain Planned. Forward-looking statements are set out in [Disclaimer](/wp/res/disclaimer.md).
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
`$YVE` remains pre-TGE. It will be deployed on BNB Chain, but no contract address has been published and no sale is open today. Verify the current status and, after generation, the official address through [Verified Links](/wp/res/verified-links.md).
{% endhint %}

Self-custody reshaped money.
It is coming for your mind.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://yvechat.gitbook.io/wp/readme.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
