How it works

Three steps, no middleman.

01 / Add a key
Add a provider key once
Add a key on Desktop or in the CLI. It’s stored encrypted at rest on your machine. BYOK lives on Desktop and the CLI. Web and Mobile don’t take provider keys.
02 / Pick provider & model
Switch models without switching apps
Choose any provider from the catalog and change models mid-thread. The active provider label is visible before a request leaves your machine.
03 / Pay your provider
Pay your provider directly
BYOK traffic goes straight to your provider, on your account and your rates. AGI is the workspace, not the meter.

Provider catalog

BYOK providers, straight from the catalog.

BYOK on Desktop and the CLI covers the providers below, the same catalog that powers AGI’s 50+ models. Ollama and LM Studio run alongside them for offline work.

The boundary

Local stays Local until you say otherwise.

A Local chat never silently becomes a BYOK chat. Continuing Local work on your keys is an explicit, reviewed continuation. You choose the context that travels and see the provider label before anything is sent.

AGI Cloud

Prefer managed compute?

AGI Cloud is in private beta behind a waitlist and invite codes. Request access with your signed-in account, or leave an email without one. Either way, you get a single note when access opens.

BYOK

Your keys are ready when you are.

Follow the Desktop and CLI pages for current install routes, add a provider key, and route work on your own account. Local Mode stays available the whole time.
