Setup · AI Provider
Custom Provider
Daily Kairos supports any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint, so you can use services like Groq, OpenRouter, or even a self-hosted model. You'll need a Base URL, an API key, and a model name.
What you'll enter in the app
Base URL — The root endpoint of the provider's API, ending before /chat/completions.
Example: https://api.groq.com/openai/v1
API Key — Your secret key from the provider's dashboard.
Model Name — The exact model identifier the provider uses.
Example: llama-3.3-70b-versatile
Groq
Groq offers extremely fast inference on open-source models like Llama 3. It has a free tier with generous rate limits.
Sign in or create a free account at console.groq.com, navigate to API Keys, and create a new key. Copy it before closing — it's only shown once.
