Models and AI keys - minai desk Help

Your agents think with your own account at an AI provider. What they use is paid there, directly, at the provider’s prices.

Adding a key

In Models, find the provider, paste its API key and tap Test and save. The key is tested before being saved and stored encrypted; afterwards only its ending shows («Key ending in …»).

Provider	Models
Claude	Anthropic’s models
OpenAI	The GPT models
Gemini	Google’s models
OpenRouter	Open models: DeepSeek, Kimi and Qwen

Each provider has three tiers: the most capable (complex cases, several tools), fast and capable (most conversations) and the cheapest (simple questions and high volume). Each agent’s model is picked on its Model tab: see Agents.

A key’s status

Status	What to do
Connected	Nothing: it works.
Key rejected	Check it’s complete and active, and tap Change key.
No credit	The key works, but the account has no credit. Top it up and tap Test again.
Not answering	The provider didn’t answer properly. Try again in a while.

An agent without a working key doesn’t answer: it passes all its conversations to the team’s queue, with the reason (for example, «Queued: the Claude account has no balance»).

If the chosen model isn’t enabled for your key, the console won’t let you publish the agent with that model: enable it in the provider’s account or pick another one. To see how much your agents spend, go to Usage: see Home and usage.
