Connect AI Providers

Adding a Cloud AI Provider

You can easily add a remote AI provider:

Click the AIs option on the left side menu > Click the + Add AI button in the upper-right corner.

And you will see this selection menu with all the different supported providers. There are several model options available to choose from: OpenAI, Together AI, Ollama, Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter, Exo, and Claude.

Shinkai makes it easy. Endpoints and models are already filled out for you. You just need to provide the API Key (except for Ollama). Select the provider and model you'd like to install and you're done.
