Setting up AI consultation (optional)

Plan trips with your own API key, or the AI on your own computer

Before you start (please read)

This setup is optional. The basic features of Tabiji Map work without AI.

The trip data needed for your consultation (place names, schedules, notes, etc.) is sent to the AI provider you use (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.). Take care not to include personal information or other people's information.
Fees and the usage terms of each provider's subscription (whether automated or API-like use is allowed) are yours to check and your responsibility.
AI suggestions are not guaranteed to be accurate. Always check opening hours, prices and transport with official information.
With Method A the key is stored only inside this browser and is never sent to Tabiji Map's servers.

Create an account in Anthropic's Console or the OpenAI Platform and register a payment method.
Create a new key under "API Keys". The full key may be shown only once at creation, so store it safely.
On the provider's page, be sure to set a monthly spend limit and a notification for when the balance runs low. Starting with a small prepaid credit is a safe way to begin.
In the "AI" section of Tabiji Map's Settings, choose the provider, paste the key and save.

Pay-as-you-go charges are paid by you directly to the provider. Do not share the key, and delete it on the provider's page when you stop using it.

With this method, a helper program running on your computer calls your own Claude Code or Codex CLI. It cannot be used from a phone.

Install Node.js 18 or later. Check it by running node -v in a terminal.
Install the CLI of the AI you want to use (Claude Code or Codex CLI) and log in following the provider's instructions.
In Tabiji Map Settings → "AI", choose Method B and press "Download the helper" to save tabijimap-ai-helper.mjs (a single file).
In a terminal (PowerShell on Windows), run node ~/Downloads/tabijimap-ai-helper.mjs (on Windows: node $HOME\Downloads\tabijimap-ai-helper.mjs). Paste the token it prints under "Pair" in Settings.
From then on, AI consultations go through your computer. When you are done, quit the helper (Ctrl+C).

The helper starts with settings that prevent the AI from operating on files. Do not share the token. Check your subscription's usage terms yourself.
