Bring your own key

Connect Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or dozens of other providers. Model usage bills your account at provider cost — Appbricx does not markup BYOK tokens.

Two paths. Use Appbricx-managed AI (included or metered on paid plans) or attach your own key. You can switch anytime in AI settings.

How it works

  1. Open AI settings from the dashboard (workspace admin).
  2. Pick a provider and paste the API key (or OAuth where supported).
  3. Keys stay server-side. The browser never sees them. Generated apps call /__appbricx/ai/* through the platform proxy.
  4. Select that provider/model for chat in the editor.

Supported providers

Appbricx bridges many vendors through OpenAI-, Anthropic-, and Azure-compatible wire protocols (plus Bedrock/Vertex where configured). The live catalog is in AI settings — typically Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Azure OpenAI, Groq, DeepSeek, Gemini, and more.

When to use BYOK

  • High volume building on Free / Pro
  • You already pay Anthropic or OpenAI
  • You need a specific model not seeded on the platform

Security notes

  • Never paste keys into chat or commit them to project files.
  • Project secrets for workflows use env / vault refs (see Workflows), not BYOK provider keys.
