Why BYOK?
- You control costs. Pay only for what you use directly to the AI provider.
- No hidden margins. We don’t mark up AI costs.
- You choose the model. Claude via Anthropic or any model via OpenRouter.
- Privacy. Your conversations go directly to the AI provider.
Supported Providers
| Provider | Models | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic (recommended) | Claude Sonnet, Opus | console.anthropic.com → API Keys |
| OpenRouter | Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Llama, etc. | openrouter.ai → Keys |
How it works
- You paste your API key on the Integrations page
- Ultron encrypts it and stores it in Supabase

- The server calls the AI provider using YOUR key

- Your key is never exposed to the frontend
