How to connect an AI?

AI Assistants and the FTP Proxy

To let an AI assistant work on a project, keep SyncNow running and have the assistant request a Grant for that project - SyncNow does the rest.

The steps

  1. Make sure SyncNow is open and the project is added and observing.
  2. The assistant asks SyncNow to START a session (a Grant) on that project.
  3. SyncNow opens the local proxy and writes the connection details to agent_bridge.json.
  4. The assistant works through 127.0.0.1 with a one-time password; the cloud executor performs each real action.
  5. When finished, the assistant calls END and leaves a changelog.

You do not hand over your FTP password at any point - it stays in the vault. Remember that one project allows only one active session at a time, so a second assistant gets a Busy response until the first one ends.
