Setup guide

Connect to JanitorAI.

Takes about five minutes. You'll need your API key and base URL from your dashboard — keep that tab open.

STEP 01

Open API settings

In JanitorAI, go to your profile menu and choose API Settings (sometimes called "Proxy" or "Custom API").

STEP 02

Choose "Custom / OpenAI-compatible"

Select the option for a custom or OpenAI-compatible API provider, not one of the built-in preset services.

STEP 03

Paste your base URL and key

Paste the Base URL from your dashboard into the "API URL" field, and your API key into the "API Key" field.

STEP 04

Pick your model and save

Choose the model from the dropdown (it should appear automatically once your key is recognized), then save.

STEP 05

Start chatting

Open any character and send a message. If nothing comes back, double-check the URL and key are pasted exactly, with no extra spaces, and that your dashboard shows a positive balance.
