2) Providers: install edge agent

      

        
Install (Ubuntu 22.04+):

        
curl -fsSLO https://aipowerprogressia.com/static/grid/install_edge_agent.sh
GRID_PROVIDER_TOKEN="PASTE_PROVIDER_TOKEN_HERE" bash install_edge_agent.sh --url https://aipowerprogressia.com

        
Then edit config:

        
nano ~/.config/powersearch-grid/agent.json

        
Set your local Ollama model and enable opt‑in sharing:

        
{
  "ollama_base_url": "http://127.0.0.1:11434",
  "ollama_model": "your-installed-model",
  "policy": {
    "enabled": true,
    "allowed_job_types": ["health_check", "crawl_url", "ollama_chat"]
  }
}

      

    


    

      
3) Users: run a paid AI job on the Grid

      

        
This submits a signed `ollama_chat` job and waits up to ~60 seconds for a result.
