Bring your own API keys
flAim is a workspace for running and coordinating models you already pay for. We do not sell AI tokens, resell inference, or bundle provider usage into your flAim subscription. Your subscription covers the flAim product only; model usage is billed by each provider under your account with them.
How to get API keys from providers
Each model provider has its own developer console. Create an account (or sign in), add a payment method if the provider requires it, then create an API key. Store keys like passwords—anyone with a key can use your provider account and spend your quota.
- OpenAI — platform.openai.com/api-keys
- Anthropic (Claude) — console.anthropic.com
- Google (Gemini) — Google AI Studio API keys
- OpenRouter, Groq, Together, Fireworks, Perplexity — use that provider's dashboard; the pattern is the same: sign in, billing if needed, then create a key labeled for API access.
How to add keys in flAim
- Open the flAim app at flaimai.app and sign in.
- Go to workspace or account settings and find the area for model providers, integrations, or API keys (wording may vary by version).
- Choose the provider you want (for example OpenAI or Anthropic), paste the key from that provider's console, and save. Repeat for each provider you plan to use in panels.
- Add a panel in your workspace, pick a model from a provider you configured, and send a short test prompt to confirm the key works.
If a model fails to respond, confirm the key is active in the provider's console, that billing is set up there, and that you pasted the full key with no extra spaces.
