🤖 AI-Assisted Troubleshooting (Laura)

Experimental — this feature requires a local LLM backend and is disabled by default.

Stuck on a level that won't launch? Laura is Tomb Launcher's built-in AI assistant, designed to help you diagnose and fix common issues with custom levels and legacy game engines.

Opening the chat

On any game's detail page, click the Talk to Laura button. Laura automatically receives context about the game you're troubleshooting — engine type, last exit code, crash logs, and stderr output — so you don't have to paste anything manually.

Enabling AI features

AI features are turned off by default. To enable them, open Settings → AI and choose a backend:

Configure the endpoint URL to match your backend (e.g. http://localhost:11434 for Ollama). Any model supported by the chosen backend can be used, though a reasoning-capable model will give better results.

Knowledge base

Laura's answers are grounded in a curated knowledge base of troubleshooting guides and known issues for Tomb Raider custom levels. The knowledge base is fetched automatically from tomblauncher.app and kept up to date in the background — no manual updates needed.

Known limitations

• Requires a running local LLM backend (Ollama or LM Studio). No cloud API keys are needed, and no data leaves your machine.
• Answer quality depends on the model you choose. Larger models generally perform better.
• The feature is experimental. Results may occasionally be incomplete or incorrect.
