AI model
How to choose an AI provider and configure your API key.
AI model
Your bot uses an AI provider to generate responses. You must configure a provider, a model, and an API key before the bot can respond to messages. The dashboard shows a Required badge on the AI model card until this is done.
Supported providers
- Anthropic — Claude models. Recommended starting point. Get API key
- OpenAI — GPT models. Get API key
- Google — Gemini models. Get API key
Each provider has multiple models available, ranging from fast and lightweight options to more capable models suited for complex tasks. You will need to create an account with the provider if you don't have one.
Configuring your AI provider
- On the dashboard, click Edit on the AI model card.
- Select your preferred provider.
- Select a model from the list. Models marked Recommended are a good starting point.
- Enter your API key for the selected provider.
- Click Save.
Changes are applied to your running bot immediately. No restart needed.
Your API key is stored encrypted on our servers. For security, we never return the key through the interface — you will need to re-enter it whenever you update your AI configuration (for example, to switch models or rotate a key).
Switching providers or models
You can switch providers or models at any time by clicking Edit on the AI model card. You will need to enter a valid API key for the selected provider each time you save.
