Desktop application · OpenAI Chat, Anthropic Messages

| Format | Where to set it up |
| --- | --- |
| OpenAI Chat, Anthropic Messages | Settings \> Model Providers \> Add Provider → choose the OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible format |

## [](https://ailoot.ai/docs/en/integrations/jan/#setup)Setup

Copy the configuration and replace `sk-...` with your key from the Ailoot Dashboard. Prefer storing the key in the environment variable `AILOOT_API_KEY`, if the application supports it.

Before starting, request GET /v1/models with your Ailoot key. Choose an exact model ID whose methods include POST /v1/chat/completions, POST /v1/messages, then use that ID in the configuration. For agents, also check tool support and the features required by your client version.

```text
OpenAI-compatible:
  Provider name: Ailoot
  Base URL: https://api.ailoot.ai/v1
  API key: sk-...
Anthropic-compatible:
  Provider name: Ailoot Claude
  Base URL: https://api.ailoot.ai
  API key: sk-...
Models: loaded from {base_url}/models or + manually: claude-sonnet-5-5
```

Example model: `claude-sonnet-5-5`. Choose any other model from the [catalog](https://ailoot.ai/models/en/) — check that it supports the format you need.

## [](https://ailoot.ai/docs/en/integrations/jan/#notes)Good to know

Docs: for OpenAI-compatible providers, Base URL must include /v1 (otherwise you get 404); a trailing slash is removed. The Anthropic-mode example for LiteLLM omits /v1. Model capabilities (tools, vision) must be configured manually for custom providers. Backup keys are supported (retries only on 401/403/429).

## [](https://ailoot.ai/docs/en/integrations/jan/#check)Test

- For the OpenAI format, the URL is `https://api.ailoot.ai/v1` (or the full path if the application asks for a full URL).
- For the Anthropic format, the URL is `https://api.ailoot.ai` without `/v1`.
- Ask a short question. If you get an error, check the code and Request ID, then consult [Errors and limits](https://ailoot.ai/docs/en/errors/).
- 404 immediately after setup almost always means the URL is wrong: an extra or missing `/v1`.
- 402 — insufficient balance for the reserve. Agents reserve more than chat: [why](https://ailoot.ai/docs/en/billing/reserve/).
