The whole tool runs client-side as static HTML/CSS/JS. You can access a web based version from https://www.daemon.be/maarten/FAR/ (with some of the AI integrations disabled).
The tool can use an LLM to assist with brainstorming, CCM pre-scoring, warning indicators, and narrative drafting. Three providers are supported:
- Ollama — runs locally on your machine; no API key needed.
- Claude API — requires an Anthropic API key.
- Gemini API — requires a Google AI Studio API key.
API keys are stored in your browser's localStorage and are sent to the respective provider's API. Any script running on this origin can read them, so don't paste keys into a copy of this tool you don't trust.
