This token allows downloading private Indi Engine packages during the initial setup and future updates, and associating AI usage metadata (input text length and attached file types and sizes) with your account.

No. The token is tied to your Indi Engine AI account, rather than to a specific VPS or machine. You can reuse it across multiple installations for the same or different apps.

No. They are stored locally within your Indi Engine app instance, and in your GitHub backups. Indi Engine services don’t receive, store, or inspect content of your AI prompts or responses outside your own instance.

BYOK stands for Bring Your Own Key. Indi Engine AI does not bundle or resell AI usage. Instead, you configure your own API keys for the AI models you want to use, such as Gemini, Claude and/or others.

Your AI keys are stored in myapp/custom/public/application/config.ini and are never sent elsewhere. Requests to AI models are made directly from your app instance to the API endpoints provided by their vendors.

Yes, but with limitations. In such scenarios, AI prompt-to-app, GitHub-based backups, restores, updates, and SSL certificate renewals will not work unless the required endpoints are explicitly whitelisted.

Nothing happens to your account or plan. Indi Engine AI is self-hosted — if you remove it from a server, the data might remain only as backup(s) at your GitHub, if any created so far. If yes, you can reinstall this app later.
