API keys are configured through the web UI.

Environment Isolation

Each installation maintains separate data:

venv1/bin/aidiscuss  # Data in venv1/.aidiscuss_data/
venv2/bin/aidiscuss  # Data in venv2/.aidiscuss_data/
aidiscuss            # Global data in ~/.aidiscuss/

API

• Web UI: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Custom data dir: Set AIDISCUSS_DATA_DIR=/path/to/data
