Why bring your own keys
LilBuz runs on AI models. You can bring your own provider keys and even set up fallbacks, so if one provider is rate-limited the next one takes over automatically.
Supported providers
Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), Mistral AI, DeepSeek, and Cohere.
How to add a provider
- Open AI Settings.
- In the add-provider form, choose your Provider from the dropdown.
- Pick a Model (the list updates based on the provider you chose).
- Paste your API key.
- Click Add Provider.
Manage your providers
Each provider appears in an ordered list with:
- An enable/disable toggle.
- A Test button to confirm the key works (green ✓ or a red error).
- A masked key with an eye icon to reveal it.
- A delete option.
Fallback order matters: providers are tried top to bottom. If your first provider fails (rate limit or auth error), LilBuz automatically moves to the next enabled one. Keys are encrypted before they're stored.Back to documentation
