You will find instructions for every configuration option that affects the SystemWeaver AI Extension (the SWExtension.AIView that runs inside swExplorer and the SystemWeaver.AIHost backend it talks to) in this section of the portal.



There are three distinct configurations:


SurfaceOwner / locationFormat
Audience
AIView XML configThe AIExtension view’s configuration in the SystemWeaver model (<AIViewConfig>)XMLSystemWeaver Architect
AIHost settingsAIHost/appsettings.json (staged next to the extension)JSONDeployer / ops
Per-provider LLM plugin settingsAIHost/plugins/<Provider>/settings.jsonJSONDeployer / ops


Architecture in one line: the AIExtension client talks to AIHost over the AIFE protocol — HTTPS + mandatory client-certificate mTLS on https://localhost:5001/. AIHost is staged as a self-contained executable under AIHost/SystemWeaver.AIHost.exe next to the extension and is auto-started by the client. The AIExtension never reads appsettings.json directly; A is the only surface a SystemWeaver Architect edits, while B and C are deployment-time host configuration.
