+### AI analysis
+
+`--ai` collects the search results, builds an internal Markdown report, and sends it to an OpenAI-compatible chat completion endpoint to produce a short, neutral investigation summary (likely real name, location, occupation, interests, languages, confidence, follow-up leads). Per-site progress is suppressed and the model's output is streamed to stdout.
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+maigret user --ai
+
+# pick a different model
+maigret user --ai --ai-model gpt-4o-mini
+```
+
+The key can also be set as `openai_api_key` in `settings.json`. The endpoint defaults to `https://api.openai.com/v1`, but `openai_api_base_url` in `settings.json` can point to any OpenAI-compatible API (Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter, a local server, …). See the [settings docs](https://maigret.readthedocs.io/en/latest/settings.html) for the full list of options.

+API key 也可以写入 `settings.json` 的 `openai_api_key` 字段。接口地址默认为 `https://api.openai.com/v1`,通过在 `settings.json` 中设置 `openai_api_base_url`,可以指向任何 OpenAI 兼容的服务(Azure OpenAI、OpenRouter、本地推理服务等)。完整选项见[配置文档](https://maigret.readthedocs.io/en/latest/settings.html)。

+
+The summary follows a fixed format with sections for the most likely

+to rely only on what is supported by the report and to avoid mixing
+clearly unrelated profiles into the main identity.

+**Configuration.** The API key is resolved from
+``settings.openai_api_key`` first, then from the ``OPENAI_API_KEY``
+environment variable. The endpoint defaults to
+``https://api.openai.com/v1`` and can be redirected to any
+OpenAI-compatible service (Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter, a local server,
+…) by setting ``openai_api_base_url`` in ``settings.json``. See

+AI analysis
+-----------
+
+The ``--ai`` flag (see :ref:`ai-analysis`) talks to an OpenAI-compatible
+chat completion API. Three settings control how that request is made:
+
+.. list-table::
+   :header-rows: 1
+   :widths: 35 25 40
+
+   * - Setting
+     - Default
+     - Description
+   * - ``openai_api_key``
+     - ``""`` (empty)
+     - API key. If empty, Maigret falls back to the ``OPENAI_API_KEY``
+       environment variable.
+   * - ``openai_model``
+     - ``gpt-4o``
+     - Default model name. Overridable per-run with ``--ai-model``.
+   * - ``openai_api_base_url``
+     - ``https://api.openai.com/v1``
+     - Base URL of the chat completion API. Point this at any
+       OpenAI-compatible service (Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter, a local
+       server, …) to use it instead of OpenAI directly.
+
+Example ``~/.maigret/settings.json`` snippet using a non-OpenAI
+endpoint:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+   {
+       "openai_api_key": "sk-...",
+       "openai_model": "gpt-4o-mini",
+       "openai_api_base_url": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
+   }
+
+The key resolution order is ``settings.openai_api_key`` → ``OPENAI_API_KEY``
+environment variable; the first non-empty value wins.
+
+.. note::
+
+   ``--ai`` sends the full internal Markdown report (which contains the
+   gathered profile data) to the configured endpoint. Only use providers
+   and accounts you trust with that data.
