The Complete Guide to MyLLM's 20+ Built-in Tools

Why Tools Matter

A language model on its own can only generate text. But when you give it tools, it becomes a true assistant — able to calculate, search, code, translate, and manage files. MyLLM ships with 20+ tools that extend your AI's capabilities far beyond simple conversation.

The best part? Almost every tool runs 100% offline on your device.

The Complete Toolkit

Code Interpreter

Write, run, and debug code directly in the chat. Supports Python-style code execution for quick scripts, calculations, and data processing.

Use cases: Quick calculations, data transformations, algorithm testing, learning to code

Web Search

When you need information beyond the model's training data, Web Search fetches results from the internet. This is the only tool that requires an internet connection — and it's clearly marked.

Use cases: Current events, fact-checking, finding specific information

File Manager

Read, create, and organize files on your device. The AI can analyze documents, parse CSVs, and even help you organize your files.

Use cases: Analyzing spreadsheets, reading documents, organizing files, creating reports

Calculator

Precise mathematical calculations. Unlike the model's built-in math (which can sometimes hallucinate), the calculator tool gives exact results every time.

Use cases: Complex math, unit conversions, financial calculations, statistics

Terminal

Execute commands and interact with your device's file system through a terminal-like interface.

Use cases: File operations, directory navigation, system information

Image Generation

Create images from text descriptions using on-device generation. Quality depends on your device's capability.

Use cases: Quick illustrations, concept art, visual brainstorming

RAG Search (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

Search through your local documents and conversations to find relevant context. This helps the AI give more accurate, personalized answers.

Use cases: Searching past conversations, finding information in your documents, knowledge base queries

Vision

Analyze images using the model's multimodal capabilities. Describe photos, extract text from images, and understand visual content.

Use cases: Reading screenshots, describing photos, extracting text from images

Translator

Translate text between languages using the model's multilingual training. Supports dozens of languages including Hindi, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, French, German, Japanese, and more.

Use cases: Translating messages, learning languages, reading foreign content

Writer

A specialized writing assistant that helps with drafting, editing, and improving text. From emails to essays, the writer tool has you covered.

Use cases: Email drafting, essay writing, creative writing, content editing

Reasoner

Deep logical analysis and problem-solving. The reasoner breaks down complex problems using structured thinking.

Use cases: Decision making, pros/cons analysis, logical puzzles, strategic planning

Summarizer

Condense long text into key points. Perfect for quickly understanding long articles, documents, or chat histories.

Use cases: Article summaries, meeting notes, document overviews, study aids

Offline vs Online Tools

How Tools Work in Practice

When you ask a question, the AI decides which tools to use automatically. For example:

You: "What's 15% tip on $47.50?"

The AI recognizes this is a math problem and automatically uses the Calculator tool:

• 47.50 × 0.15 = $7.13
• Total with tip: $54.63

You: "Translate 'good morning, how are you?' to Hindi, Spanish, and Japanese"

The AI uses the Translator tool:

• Hindi: सुप्रभात, आप कैसे हैं?
• Spanish: Buenos días, ¿cómo estás?
• Japanese: おはようございます、お元気ですか？

Tips for Using Tools

• Be explicit — If you want a specific tool used, mention it: "Use the calculator to..."
• Chain tools — The agent can use multiple tools in sequence for complex tasks
• Check results — Always verify calculator and code interpreter outputs
• Use RAG for context — If the AI doesn't remember something, ask it to search your history
