Can I use my own AI account?

Before you start

• Only the site owner, or a member who can manage AI, can connect an account.
• You need an account with a provider, and a key from it.

Steps

1. Open your site's admin. How do I open my site admin?
2. Open Settings → Content & publishing → Your AI accounts.
3. Pick your provider and tap Get a key. Create the key on the provider's website and copy it.
4. Paste the key and tap Test & connect.
5. You see Connected ✓. A good default model is picked for you.
6. To use OpenRouter in one tap, open AI workspace, find OpenRouter: your own AI account and tap Connect OpenRouter. Connecting OpenRouter
7. Tap Check my AI to make sure the AI can change your site. How do I check that my AI works?

What happens when you save a key

• A valid key is always saved. If the key works but the model is not allowed on your account, or billing is not set up, the key is still saved and the card shows what to fix. Tap Pick another model, or Check billing on your provider.
• Only a key that the provider refuses is not saved. Paste the whole key again.

Choose which AI is used

In your admin, Which AI may be used lets you allow or stop each AI source and set the order the site tries them in. Your own keys are used first. Which AI may be used
