Core Concepts

Connections

Connect to 50+ databases and tools

Connections let you plug your existing tools into camelAI. Connect a database, a SaaS platform, or a cloud provider — then build apps that read from and write to them. No API plumbing required.

Adding a connection

You can add connections two ways:

Through Settings

  1. Open workspace settings

    Go to Settings → Connections in your workspace.

  2. Pick a service

    Choose from the catalog of 50+ integrations.

  3. Authenticate

    Enter credentials or sign in via OAuth, depending on the service.

Through the agent

Just ask the agent in any chat:

Connect my Stripe account

or

I want to pull data from our Snowflake warehouse

The agent will walk you through setup — it may open a credential entry form for you, or handle the configuration directly.

How connections work

  • Encrypted storage — credentials are encrypted at rest and never exposed in logs or chat
  • Auto-injected — credentials are available as environment variables in your workspace and automatically synced to all deployed apps
  • Any chat, any project — once connected, the agent can use the integration from any conversation in your workspace

Custom API

Connect to any HTTP API with bearer, basic, or custom authentication. Define up to 10 credential fields. The agent will guide you through setup.

Using connections in your apps

Once connected, just describe what you want in plain English:

Pull my last 30 days of Stripe charges and show them in a sortable table

Every morning, query our Snowflake warehouse for yesterday's signups and email me a summary

Build a dashboard that shows our PostHog events alongside Stripe revenue

The agent handles the code. Your credentials are already available — no config files, no .env management, no API key juggling.
