Connect your own external AI agent (Hermes, OpenAI, n8n, Claude)

📍 Where to find it: AI Agents → (your agent) → Settings → AI Engine

Instead of Madyis Hub's built-in AI, you can relay conversations to your own external agent: an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, a simple webhook (n8n), or the Claude API.

How it works

In the settings, the "AI Engine" can switch from "Built-in Madyis AI" to "My own external agent". You then choose the connection format (OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic Claude, or simple webhook), enter the endpoint URL, an optional key/token, the model and the field where the reply is read. Madyis Hub sends the conversation to your agent and posts its reply. With an external agent, the knowledge, the Playground and the personality are managed by YOUR agent.

Step by step

1. Open the agent, "Settings" tab, and set "AI Engine" to "My own external agent".
2. Choose the "Connection format" (OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic Claude, or simple webhook).
3. Enter the "Endpoint URL", and if needed the "API key / token" and the "Model".
4. For a simple webhook, indicate the reply field if needed (e.g. output).
5. Click "Test connection", then "Save".

Good to know

• The saved key is never shown again: leave the field empty to keep it.
• For n8n, your flow must return the reply in the HTTP response ("Respond to Webhook" node).
• Madyis Hub's Knowledge and Playground tabs are not used in external mode.
