## AI overview

Tailscale describes two ways to build with its networking platform: embedding secure, identity-aware connectivity into applications with tsnet, and automating tailnet creation and management through APIs. A local Ollama server illustrates how application-level identities, ACLs, MagicDNS, and managed HTTPS can avoid public ports, host daemons, and manual proxy configuration.
