## FAQ

### How do I connect to GetFacade?

You can connect via a custom URL in clients like Claude or ChatGPT, or run it locally using an agent API key.

### Can I use a photo directly in a chat?

Photos attached directly to a chat cannot be read by the connector; you must upload them via the tool or add them to the building's photo page in the app.
