# AI provider

The AI provider is the one connection OmniGet uses for its built-in AI features: summarizing a video, the AI video tools, transcribing audio and a few helpers in the Superpowers. It is **Off** until you choose a provider, so nothing is sent to an AI service unless you set it up.

## Where it is

**Settings › AI and agents › AI provider**. The **Configure** tab of [LLM](https://getomniget.com/docs/llm) opens the same section.

The coding agents in [Threads](https://getomniget.com/docs/threads) and the agents of the [Chat](https://getomniget.com/docs/llm) use their own connections, set in **LLM › Configure › Connections** ([Connections, models and limits](https://getomniget.com/docs/accounts-limits)). This page is only about the shared provider for the built-in features.

## How to use it

1.  Open **Settings › AI and agents**.
2.  In **Provider**, choose a service. The list is in the table below.
3.  In **Model**, type the model identifier for that service. The field shows an example for each provider.
4.  Paste your key in **Connection API key** (or **Anthropic API key** when the provider is Anthropic). Ollama runs on your computer and asks for no key.
5.  For **Ollama (local)**, **New API / One API (relay)** and **Custom endpoint (local or remote)**, fill in **Endpoint URL**.
6.  Click **Save and test**. OmniGet saves the settings, sends one small request and shows **AI connection works** or the error from the provider.

The line under the buttons then reads **Connection verified**, **Connection test failed** or **Not tested**.

Note

The test sends a real request through the connection, so it may use a little of your quota or credits.

To turn AI off again, set **Provider** to **Off** and click **Save**. Saved keys stay on your computer; to delete one, select its provider, click **Remove saved key** and save.

## Providers

| Provider in the list | Key | Endpoint |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **OpenAI** | Required | Fixed |
| **Anthropic** | Required (**Anthropic API key**) | Fixed |
| **OpenRouter** | Required | Fixed |
| **DeepSeek** | Required | Fixed |
| **Google Gemini** | Required | Fixed |
| **Groq** | Required | Fixed |
| **xAI (Grok)** | Required | Fixed |
| **Mistral** | Required | Fixed |
| **SiliconFlow** | Required | Fixed |
| **Requesty** | Required | Fixed |
| **New API / One API (relay)** | Required | Your relay’s address |
| **Ollama (local)** | None | Prefilled with the local Ollama address |
| **Custom endpoint (local or remote)** | Optional | Any OpenAI-compatible URL |

## Options

| Option | What it does | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Provider** | Where AI requests go. | **Off** |
| **Model** | The model identifier for the chosen provider. | Empty (the field shows an example) |
| **Connection API key** / **Anthropic API key** | Your key. It is stored locally and never logged. Leave the field blank to keep a saved key. | No key |
| **Endpoint URL** | The OpenAI-compatible service URL. The hint below it says whether the destination is this computer (a loopback address) or a network endpoint. | Empty, except for Ollama |
| **Save** | Saves without testing. |  |
| **Save and test** / **Test connection** | Saves any change, then sends one test request. |  |
| **Discard changes** | Puts back the saved settings. |  |

Unsaved changes are kept while you move between Settings sections, as long as the app stays open.

## What uses it

-   [Summarize a video](https://getomniget.com/docs/work) in **LLM › Work**.
-   The [AI video tools](https://getomniget.com/docs/video-ai) of Downloads.
-   Audio transcription, for example in [Telegram](https://getomniget.com/docs/telegram).
-   The AI helpers inside some [Superpowers](https://getomniget.com/docs/superpowers), such as Read and the League coach.

## Common problems

### “Configure an AI provider first”

The feature you opened needs the AI provider and it is still **Off**, or no model is saved. Pick a provider, type a model and save.

### Transcription fails with Anthropic

Audio transcription uses the OpenAI-style transcription endpoint. It works with **OpenAI** and with OpenAI-compatible endpoints that offer transcription. It does not work with **Anthropic**.

### “AI test failed”

The message after the colon comes from the provider. Check the model name first (it must be one your account can use), then the key, then the **Endpoint URL**.

### Requests leave my computer

Only when the provider is a remote service. With **Ollama (local)**, or a custom endpoint on a loopback address, the requests stay on your computer. See [Privacy in the app](https://getomniget.com/docs/privacy).
