Full guide

Format	Where to set it up
OpenAI Chat	Chat → model picker → Manage models → Add custom model → OpenAI (custom endpoint) → URL, key, and model.

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, then use that ID in the configuration. For agents, also check tool support and the features required by your client version.

Provider: OpenAI (custom endpoint)
Endpoint: https://api.ailoot.ai/v1
API key:  sk-...
Model:    gpt-6.1-sol

Example model: gpt-6.1-sol. Choose any other model from the catalog — check that it supports the format you need.

Good to know

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).
Ask a short question. If you get an error, check the code and Request ID, then consult Errors and limits.
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.
