Tool Usage
Tools extend Noema beyond text generation. Enable the ones you need, understand how they trigger, and review results before you rely on them.
What they do
AI tools at a glance
When a tool is armed, Noema can decide mid-conversation to call it. The output feeds back into the model so responses include live data, computations, or custom function results.

How to turn tools on

- Inside a conversation, open the tools menu and arm Web Search for that chat.
- Watch the transcript—Noema will state when a tool call begins and ends.
Execution flow
What happens under the hood
- Noema analyses your request and decides if a tool would help.
- It selects the best available tool and prepares the call payload.
- The tool executes and returns structured data.
- Results are woven into the final response with citations or summaries.
Privacy & control
- Dataset queries stay on-device; only web searches reach the network.
- Noema never stores the raw queries server-side—everything stays local to your device.
- Disarm tools anytime from the chat header if you want to stay offline.
Best practices
- Ask targeted questions so the AI knows which tool to call.
- Skim the tool output summary before trusting critical answers.
- Keep an eye on rate limits if you connect external services in the future.
