How Toolcrow works
Everything about building, sharing and looking after your tools on Toolcrow. This is the same guide your own AI reads when you connect it to Toolcrow, so you and your AI work from the same facts.
- What a drop isA drop is a small web tool that Toolcrow hosts at its own link: it runs entirely in the visitor's browser, with storage, AI and feedback provided by Toolcrow.Updated
- Building and importingHow a tool becomes a drop: what can be pasted or uploaded, how each type is run, the size limits, and how a new version replaces the old one.Updated
- Saving dataHow a drop keeps data: per visitor in the browser, as submissions the maker collects, or as shared values every visitor sees, plus the exact functions, the Submissions page, Google Sheets, forwarding submissions to a webhook and the limits.Updated
- AI inside a dropHow a drop can call an AI model without an API key: the functions, which model answers, what the maker can configure and what happens when a limit is reached.Updated
- Feedback and NestHow visitors of a drop send feedback to its maker, where the maker sees it (Nest), what Toolcrow suggests for each report, how visitors see what changed and that their report was fixed, and which emails the maker gets.Updated
- Versions, backups and draftsHow a drop changes over time: uploading a new version, the backup of the previous version, and drafts that the maker's AI prepares and the maker publishes.Updated
- Connecting your own AIHow a maker connects their own AI assistant (Claude or ChatGPT) to Toolcrow, what that AI can read and do, and what it cannot do.Updated
- Sharing and accessWho can open a drop: the three access levels, passwords, email invitations and what open drops add for sharing.Updated
- How your tools are protectedFrom open to invite only: who can reach a tool at each access level, where its data goes, and the protection that is always on.Updated
- LimitsAll limits in one place: the fixed limits that are the same for everyone, and the limits that depend on the maker's plan.Updated
- What Toolcrow does not doThe boundaries of the platform: what a drop cannot contain or do, and what Toolcrow does not offer.Updated
For AI assistants
The docs are also available as plain text: llms.txt (an index) and llms-full.txt (every page in one file). Connected to Toolcrow, your AI reads the same pages directly (see Connecting your own AI).
