Project secrets & in-app AI
Store secrets safely and give your own app AI features through the Evonx AI gateway.
Two settings live together because they solve the same problem: your app needs credentials it must not leak. Secrets hold API keys and tokens. In-app AI turns on Evonx's own AI gateway so the published app can call AI under your quota, without you pasting a provider key into chat.
Secrets
Open the project Settings and the secrets card. Values are write-only: you save a key, and Evonx never shows it again (only a short hint). Replace a value by saving over the same name.
-
Pick the environment: Development (previews) or Live (the published app). They are separate stores — a key you add in development does not appear in production until you add it there too.
-
Add the name and value the app expects. If the code already reads a name that has no value, it is listed under the table as missing — fill those first.
-
Public names (
VITE_,NEXT_PUBLIC_, and similar) are labelled as public. Those values ship in the JavaScript every visitor downloads; they are configuration, not secrets.
In-app AI
When the platform has an AI provider configured, the same card offers a toggle to enable Evonx AI for this app. The app then calls AI through Evonx's gateway, metered against your workspace credits — see pricing.
Ask for the feature in an Evolution Thread ("when a mechanic finishes a job, draft a customer-facing summary") and turn the toggle on before you expect it to work in preview or production.
