Run the model that writes Athena’s replies on your own laptop. Your prompt and the tasks she reads to answer it never leave that machine.

Connect Lovelace

1

A Lovelace account

Lovelace Lattice is the compute network this runs on.
2

A paired machine

A laptop or desktop running the Lattice daemon in front of Ollama or LM Studio.

Authorize Docket

Choose Connect with Lovelace in Settings → Athena. A supported browser opens its native Lovelace account dialog; otherwise, Docket continues on Lovelace’s page. Then pick a paired machine.
If you close the browser’s Lovelace dialog, Docket leaves any existing connection unchanged. You can try again or choose Continue in Lovelace to finish on Lovelace’s page.

​
How Docket sends a request to your machine

Your computer polls outward. You open no inbound port, run no tunnel, and accept no callback from the cloud into your home network. Docket sends the request to Lovelace’s hosted gateway. Your daemon reads it on its next poll, runs it, and sends the reply back the same way.
Docket never talks to your device. It talks to the gateway. Your machine is unaddressable from the internet.

​
What runs where

Sessions, proposals, approvals, and permissions work exactly as they do otherwise. See Proposals and approvals.

​
When the machine is off

A closed laptop cannot answer. Docket tells you so and never uses a hosted model without saying it did.

​
Disconnecting

Disconnect your Lovelace account in Settings → Athena.
