Full guide
| Format | Where to set it up |
|---|---|
| OpenAI Chat | Preferences → AI-features → OpenAiCustom, or the ai-features.openAiCustom.customOpenAiModels key in settings.json; open AI Configuration with Alt+A. |
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.

}Example model: claude-sonnet-5-5. 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.
