Device link vs thinking service
Three separate ideas — Account/license, linking your iPhone, and choosing a model.
These ideas are often confused. Keep them separate.
| Account / license | Device link | Thinking service | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Website Account + Brain activation | Your iPhone connected to your Sovereign brain | Which model answers your messages |
| Where you set it | 1human1ai.com Account; Brain Settings → License | You → Your link | You → How Your Sovereign Thinks |
| When it's wrong | Download / activation errors | "Not linked" / connection errors | "Needs attention" / no replies |
| Fix starts with | Magic link, Get Brain, activation code | Wi‑Fi, Tailscale, Local Network, approval | Choose a model or add API key on the brain |
Account / license means you can download Brain and bind it with an activation code. See Sign in to your Account.
Device link means your iPhone can reach your Sovereign brain on your network — like pairing a trusted remote. The pairing security code is not your license activation code.
Thinking service means your brain has a working model and API key so it can think and reply.
You can be linked but still need to fix thinking — and you can have a link before the license is activated, but managed Brain features expect a valid license.
