Where you connect your account’s AIs. Then each agent picks which one it uses on its Model screen. How to get there: Settings → Models. It’s the same screen as Connect your AI, the first step when you start.

Your subscription

With the Recommended tag: “The cheapest: your agents think with your Claude or ChatGPT account, and use your subscription’s quota.”
  • Connect walks you through it: for Claude, you open Claude, authorize and paste the code it gives you; for ChatGPT, you copy a code and paste it into ChatGPT, and it connects by itself. When it’s done: “Claude connected”.
  • Once connected, the card says Connected and the button becomes Disconnect (red). It asks you to confirm: “Your agents that think with Claude stop answering until you connect a source again.”
See Connect your AI.

Your own API

“You pay per token used, with your provider account.” The Use your own API card says “Choose among several providers and models.” or what you have connected. Connect (or Change) opens this screen:
Your own API screen with the OpenAI and OpenRouter providers, the models and the field for the key

Your own API with OpenRouter chosen (here, in the first step when you start)

If something doesn’t work, it tells you why: the provider didn’t accept the key, it has no balance (“Add credit in your provider account.”), that model isn’t available, or the provider didn’t answer.

Try minai

Only during the free trial. “No subscription or key: minai provides the AI while your trial lasts.” The minai’s AI card — “To start right away, with nothing to set up.” — with Connect or Disconnect.
Your own API and minai’s AI can’t be connected at the same time. If you connect one while you have the other, it asks whether you want to Replace it: the agents that used the old one move to the new one.
