AI and billing
Bring your own key
HTFlow's built-in agent has no AI of its own. Connect an OpenRouter key and it runs on that, billed by OpenRouter at OpenRouter's price.
Connecting a key
- Create an OpenRouter keyFrom your OpenRouter account. One key reaches the models OpenRouter carries, so you are not committing to a single provider.
- Paste it into HTFlowSettings → AI Keys. Keys are encrypted at rest, scoped to your account, and removable at any time.
- Pick a modelAny model your key can reach. Stronger models write better first drafts; cheaper ones are fine for edits to an existing section.
Who bills you
OpenRouter does, directly, for exactly what you used. Nothing is resold through HTFlow and there is no credit pack to buy first. See What HTFlow charges.
If you would rather not manage a key
Connect an MCP client instead. A ChatGPT or Claude subscription you already pay for can build the same sites without a key existing anywhere — see the MCP server.
