Docket Alarm — questions
Can Bonfire automate Docket Alarm?
Yes. Bonfire runs on your machine, holds your Docket Alarm credentials locally, and a connected model (Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok) drives the Docket Alarm API to run the actions you ask for in chat.
Does my Docket Alarm data go to the cloud?
Bonfire runs on your desktop and keeps your keys local — it isn't a SaaS holding your data. Only the specific request you approve is sent to your chosen AI model.
Which AI models can I use?
Any connected model — Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok. A fully offline Llama model runs locally for private reasoning but can't reach live APIs.
