A page artifact can be more than a static page. It can remember things, ask AI questions and call the apps you’ve connected. The page asks for each of these up front, and you approve them the first time it uses one. Pages that don’t need any of this keep working as plain pages.

​
What a page can do

A page can only use what it declared before you opened it. If it tries anything else, the call fails and nothing happens.

​
What you approve

The first time a page needs one of these, a sheet slides up over the page:
  • Shared data. Asked before the page’s first shared write. Reading shared data and using personal storage need no approval.
  • AI. Asked before the page’s first AI call.
  • Connected apps. Asked before the page’s first call to an app. The sheet lists every app and tool the page declared, each with its own switch. Turn a tool off and it stays off for you the next time the page runs.
Choose Don’t allow and the page gets an error for that call; it can ask again later. Your choices are kept per page and per person: approving a page for yourself doesn’t approve it for anyone else.

​
Who pays

AI runs on your account, not the owner’s. It uses your credits or your free allowance and follows your usage limits, the same as asking in a chat. If you are out of credits, the page shows that the call couldn’t run. Apps run with your sign-ins. The page never sees your credentials, only the result of the call.

​
What’s limited

  • Storage is 20 MB of text per page, counting everyone’s data together. A single stored value can be at most 5 MB. When the page is full, saves fail until something is deleted.
  • Tools that ask for approval before each action aren’t available in pages. If an app’s permission mode asks you every time (or the tool changes things), the page can’t call it. Use the app in a chat instead.
  • Pages with AI or connected apps can’t be shared with “Anyone with the link”. Link viewers aren’t signed in, so there’s nobody to bill and no account to use. Share with people or your org instead.
  • People outside your organization never get AI or connected apps on your page. They can still open it and use storage.
  • Signed-out viewers (opening a link) see “Sign in to use this” when the page tries storage, AI or an app.
  • Your organization’s admin can turn pages’ use of connected apps off for everyone, or turn artifacts off altogether.

​
Where it works

Pages run the same way on Allternit Desktop, ai.allternit.com, the phone layout and the m.allternit.com app. The approval sheet is full width on a phone. Organization and sharing settings are changed on Desktop or the web.

​
Making a page that uses these

Ask for what you want (“a habit tracker that remembers my streaks”, “a page that summarizes my notes with AI”). Allternit writes the page and declares what it needs. When you open your own page, its declaration is saved with it, so the sharing window already knows it can’t be a public link. If you write the page yourself, see Page runtime API for the window.allternit calls and how to declare capabilities.
