Test and enable a provider

After saving a provider, test it before using it.

<Steps> <Step title="Click Test"> Reactive Resume sends a small request to verify the provider, model, base URL, and key. </Step> <Step title="Review the status"> A successful provider is marked **Tested**. A failed provider is marked **Failed** and may show an error message. </Step> <Step title="Enable the provider"> Turn on **Use** for the tested provider you want Reactive Resume to use. </Step> </Steps> <Info> Only tested providers can be used for AI-assisted features. </Info>

How credentials are stored

AI provider credentials are encrypted on the server and are never shown again after saving. The settings page only shows a preview of the saved key.

If provider management is unavailable, your self-hosted deployment may be missing required server configuration.

<Warning> AI provider management requires the server-side services used to encrypt credentials. If the page says provider management is unavailable, check your deployment configuration before using AI features. </Warning>

Where AI is used

After a provider is tested and enabled, you can use AI in:

Resume Analysis in the builder's right sidebar;
AI-assisted resume changes from the builder;
Agent workflows that create isolated AI drafts;
PDF and Microsoft Word imports from the dashboard import dialog.

For the builder workflow, see Using AI in the builder. For the dedicated agent workspace, see Using the AI Agent Workspace and AI Agent Tools. For AI-assisted imports, see Importing resumes.
