Use a colleague's computer or a published tool

Colleagues can share the tools on their computer, and scientists can publish single tools to ToolUniverse. The tools run on their computer; nothing runs on the user's. The person you are helping is usually a scientist: keep it plain.

1. Join with a share code (once per computer)

A colleague sends a code that starts with TU-SHARE- (sometimes inside an invitation message). The user redeems it once:

1. Open https://connect.aiscientist.tools/dashboard (sign in if asked).
2. Paste the code into Use a colleague's computer and click Join.

The code is the colleague's to give; do not post it anywhere else. If the page says the code is invalid or expired, ask the colleague for a new one.

If ToolUniverse runs locally on this computer instead of the hosted service, the same code works with tu connect TU-SHARE-....

2. Find the tools

With the hosted ToolUniverse connection:
