AscentialxAI works with your own API keys from supported AI providers. You manage everything from the Settings > API Providers panel.

​
Supported providers

  • OpenAI
  • OpenRouter
  • Straico
  • Google (Gemini models)

​
Add a provider key

  1. Open Settings > API Providers.
  2. Select a provider from the list.
  3. Enter your API key. You can find or create keys from the provider’s API dashboard — links are available next to each provider field.
  4. Click Save.
After saving, the extension syncs your available models automatically.

​
Delete a provider key

Open Settings > API Providers, select the provider, and choose Delete to remove the saved key.

​
Sync models

After adding or updating a key, models sync automatically. You can also trigger a manual refresh from the model selector.

​
Select a model

The model selector is available in the chat composer toolbar and the attachment menu.
  • Search — Type to filter models by name.
  • Filter by provider — Narrow the list to a specific provider.
  • Favorites — Star models for quick access.
  • Refresh — Re-sync the model list if you’ve added new keys.

​
No model configured

If you haven’t connected a provider or no models are available, the composer shows a prompt to configure one. Open Settings > API Providers to get started.

​
Vision support

Some models support vision — they can analyze images, screenshots, and page content. If you plan to use image attachments or /vision, make sure your selected provider and model support vision inputs.
