☁️ Providers

🤖 Agents are powered by a provider. The provider could be a local service or a cloud service.

The list of supported providers is below.

How to choose a provider

If you're not sure which provider to start with, we recommend OpenAI as it's the most popular and has the widest range of capabilities: 💬 text-generation, 🖌️ image-generation, 🦻 speech-to-text, 🗣️ text-to-speech.

You don't need to choose just one though. The bot supports mixing & matching models, so you can use multiple providers at the same time.

How to use a provider

  1. 📝 Sign up for it

  2. 🔑 Obtain an API key

  3. 🤖 Create one or more agents in a given room or globally. Next to each provider in the list below you'll see 🗲 Quick start commands, but you may also refer to the agent creation guide.

  4. 🤝 Set the new agent as a handler for a given use-purpose like text-generation, image-generation, etc. The agent creation wizard will tell you how, but you may also refer to the 🤝 Handlers guide.
