+### 📚 Anytype Integration
+Connect oAI to your local [Anytype](https://anytype.io) knowledge base:
+- **Search** — find objects by keyword across all spaces or within a specific one
+- **Read** — open any object and read its full markdown content
+- **Append** — add content to the end of an existing object without touching existing text or internal links (preferred over full update)
+- **Create** — make new notes, tasks, or pages
+- **Checkbox tools** — surgically toggle to-do checkboxes or set task done/undone via native relation
+- All data stays on your machine (local API, no cloud)

 ### 🖥️ Power-User Features
 - **Bash Execution** - AI can run shell commands via `/bin/zsh` (opt-in, with per-command approval prompt)
 - **iCloud Backup** - One-click settings backup to iCloud Drive; restore on any Mac; API keys excluded for security

+                    <strong>💡 Tip — Append vs Update:</strong> Use <em>append</em> whenever you want to add content to an existing note. It fetches the current body, adds your new content at the end, and saves — leaving all existing text, links, and internal Anytype references intact. <em>Update</em> replaces the entire body and can degrade rich Anytype internal links (anytype://...) to plain text.
