OutlookAI supports three install shapes. All three share the same installer
(Deploy/Install-OutlookAI.ps1) and the same OAuth flow (sign in once with
your ChatGPT account, then OutlookAI uses your existing subscription for
inference).
| Shape | Use case | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Single workstation | One developer or power user. | Deploy/README.txt — Shape A |
| Multi-user RDS / Terminal Server | Shared server, many interactive users, one shared ChatGPT credential. | Deploy/README.txt — Shape B |
| IT-managed image / silent install | MDT / SCCM / corporate gold image. | Deploy/README.txt — Shape C |
