-
-2.4. Subsequent Licenses
-
-No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to

-License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
-permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
-
-2.5. Representation

-to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
-

-in Section 2.1.
-
-3. Responsibilities
--------------------
-
-3.1. Distribution of Source Form
-
-All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
-Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
-the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
-Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
-License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
-attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
-Form.
-
-3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
-
-If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
-
-(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
-    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
-    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
-    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
-    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
-
-(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
-    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
-    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
-    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
-
-3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
-
-You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
-provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
-the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
-Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
-Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
-License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
-under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
-the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
-Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
-License(s).
-
-3.4. Notices
-
-You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
-(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
-or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
-the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
-the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
-
-3.5. Application of Additional Terms
-
-You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
-indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
-Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
-behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
-such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
-You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
-liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
-indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
-disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
-jurisdiction.
-
-4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
----------------------------------------------------
-
-If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
-License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
-statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
-the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
-describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
-be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
-Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
-or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
-recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
-
-5. Termination
---------------
-
-5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
-if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
-compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
-Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
-Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
-ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
-non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
-come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
-Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
-notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
-first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
-from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
-Your receipt of the notice.
-
-5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
-infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
-counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
-directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
-You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
-2.1 of this License shall terminate.
-
-5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
-end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
-have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
-prior to termination shall survive termination.

+# Getting Started With AI
+
+StepForge keeps AI local. It talks to your own Ollama server on your machine and does not send guide content to the cloud.
+
+## 1. Install Ollama
+
+Install Ollama from https://ollama.com and make sure the service is running.
+
+On most systems you can verify it with:
+
+```bash
+ollama --version
+```
+
+## 2. Pull a lightweight model
+
+The recommended default is:
+
+```bash
+ollama pull llama3.2:1b
+```
+
+That model is small enough to feel responsive on modest hardware, but still good enough for human-sounding titles and short text blocks.
+
+If you want StepForge to send the screenshot itself to the model, pull a vision-capable model instead:
+
+```bash
+ollama pull gemma3
+```
+
+That model can inspect pictures as well as text, so it is better when you want the AI to read the UI directly from the screenshot.
+
+If you need something even smaller, try:
+
+```bash
+ollama pull qwen3:0.6b
+```
+
+or:
+
+```bash
+ollama pull gemma3:270m
+```
+
+Those are lighter, but they are usually weaker at writing polished step text.
+
+## 3. Open StepForge settings
+
+In StepForge, open `Settings` and find the `AI` section.
+
+Set:
+
+* `Enable AI text filling` to on
+* `Ollama host` to your local Ollama server
+* `Ollama model` to `llama3.2:1b` for text-only mode, or `llama3.2-vision` if you want screenshot-aware AI
+
+The default host is:
+
+```text
+http://127.0.0.1:11434
+```
+
+## 4. Test the connection
+
+Use the `Test connection` button in the AI settings section.
+
+If the model is installed, StepForge should confirm the host and model.
+
+## 5. Use AI manually
+
+AI is never automatic. After capture, use the `AI` button next to:
+
+* the step title
+* the step description
+* each text, code, and table block
+
+You can also use `More -> Generate all text fields with AI` to fill the whole step in one pass.
+
+## Notes
+
+* Capture titles are still generated automatically without AI.
+* AI generation only works when `Enable AI text filling` is turned on.
+* The app always uses local OCR around the click area first, then local AI only when you ask for it.
+* When the selected Ollama model supports vision, StepForge also sends the screenshot to the model so it can cross-check OCR and visual context.
