AYETO Connector: A Secure Bridge Between AI and Your Computer

Imagine your AI assistant being able to work directly with files on your computer — read code, edit documents, or organize folders. That is exactly what AYETO Connector enables.

What is AYETO Connector?

AYETO Connector is a desktop application that creates a secure connection between the AI assistant in AYETO and your local file system. Thanks to this, the AI can:

  • Browse folder structures — see what files and directories you have
  • Read file contents — analyze code, documents, or configuration files
  • Create and edit files — write new code or modify existing files
  • Organize files — move, copy, or delete files
  • Search within files — find specific text across a project

How does it work?

The Connector runs as a small application on your computer. After launching, it connects to the AYETO server through a secure WebSocket connection. When you ask the AI in chat to work with files, the server sends the request to the Connector, which performs the operation on your disk and returns the result.

[You in chat] → [AYETO Server] ←WebSocket→ [Connector on your PC] → [Your files]

Security first

AYETO Connector was designed with a strong emphasis on security:

  • Sandbox — The Connector works only within the directory you specify. It cannot access files outside that folder.
  • Automatic backups — Before every file edit or deletion, a backup is created.
  • Encrypted configuration — The API key is stored in encrypted form.
  • Size limit — Files larger than 10 MB are not transferred.

Practical use cases

AYETO Connector is ideal for:

  • Document management — Organizing and editing files using natural language
  • Automation — The AI can perform repetitive file-related tasks

How to get started?

  1. Download AYETO Connector for your operating system
  2. Launch the application and enter your API key
  3. Set the working directory (the folder the AI will have access to)
  4. Connect and start using AI with access to your files

AYETO Connector brings a new level of productivity by connecting the power of AI with your local files — securely and under your control.
