Tools integration lets you interact with a variety of tools naturally through chat — asking your assistant to book meetings, query databases, fetch news, and more. It transforms your AI from a code helper into a powerful automation companion.

​
Understanding Tools Integration

Tools Integration creates a bridge between your AI assistant and external services:
“Instead of switching between apps, tell your AI assistant what you need—it handles the rest using your connected tools.”
This feature turns conversational requests into real actions. When you connect a tool like Cal.com, you can simply tell your assistant “List my bookings on cal.com” and it will list your bookings through the integration. No need to leave your development environment or manually interact with external platforms.

​
Accessing Tools Integration

Setting up tool connections is straightforward:
  1. Navigate to App Settings in your sidebar
  2. Find the Tools Integration section
  3. Click Connect Tools to see available integrations
  4. Select the tools you want to connect
  5. Provide any required credentials or API keys
  6. Save your configuration
Once connected, tools become immediately available to your AI assistant during development conversations.

​
Available integrations

Yboard supports connecting to various services through its tools system. Common integrations include:
  • Calendar — Schedule and manage events (e.g., Cal.com, Google Calendar).
  • Database — Query and modify data in connected databases.
  • File storage — Upload, retrieve, and manage files.
  • Custom APIs — Connect any REST API as a tool with a custom configuration.

​
Building custom tools

You can create custom tool integrations by defining the tool’s schema and authentication method. Custom tools follow the same interface as built-in integrations and are configured through the App Settings page.
