Already paying for a big AI service? Lovely — plug it straight in. Paste your key and I'll use OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, Grok, or Perplexity as my brain. Your key stays on your device.
This is a Settings key for in-app chat. It is not the Agent Gateway, and it is not a pairing key. YOUR AI AGENT reads public Bommels through the Gateway without pasting a provider key here.
What it is
If you have an API key from a cloud AI provider, you can give me use of their model. I'll use it to read your saves and understand your questions. You bring the key; I bring the tidying.
Why you'll love it
- Use the exact model you already know and trust.
- Often the smartest, most natural-sounding option.
- Your key is stored on your device, not handed around.
How to use it
- Get an API key from your provider's website:
- OpenAI (platform.openai.com)
- Anthropic / Claude (console.anthropic.com)
- Google Gemini (aistudio.google.com)
- Grok / xAI (x.ai)
- Perplexity (perplexity.ai)
- In Bommel Bot, open Settings → AI and choose your provider.
- Paste your key.
- Pick a model from the list and save.
Keep your key private. Treat an API key like a password — don't paste it into screenshots or share it. If it ever leaks, delete it on the provider's site and make a new one.
Good to know
- Adding a key is Free on Bommel Bot's side, but the provider usually charges for what you use — check their pricing.
- Different models cost and perform differently; I show helpful details so you can pick one that fits your budget.
