Bring your own model: setting up Agentic Space
Connect OpenRouter, Anthropic, Gemini or a local Ollama server, and choose how much the agent may do without asking.
Agentic Space is a chat that can operate Manifesto. Ask "who calls this method?" or "add the INTERNET permission and rebuild", and the agent uses the same tools you do.
Pick a provider
Open Agentic Space → Connect provider:
- OpenAI-compatible works with any base URL: OpenAI, OpenRouter, Groq and others.
- Anthropic and Gemini have native support.
- Local: choose OpenAI compatible and set the base URL to
http://localhost:11434/v1for Ollama, orhttp://localhost:1234/v1for LM Studio. Plain HTTP is only allowed to localhost.
Add as many models as you like and switch between them from the composer.
Decide how much it may do
Under the agent settings, choose an approval policy:
| Policy | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Ask for everything | Every tool call waits for you |
| Ask before changes | Local reads run freely; edits and remote (MCP) tools wait |
| Automatic | The agent runs tools on its own |
You can also disable individual tools, for example the terminal.
Extend it
Connect MCP servers over Streamable HTTP or SSE, and import skills as SKILL.md files to teach the agent your own workflows.
Your keys and conversations stay on your device. Requests go only to the provider you choose.
The Agentic Space docs list the settings in detail. Agentic Space is one part of Manifesto's APK editor for Android.
