One model connection instead of provider-by-provider plumbing.
AskAny uses OpenRouter as the runtime boundary for AI model access. You still choose the model for each task, but AskAny does not require a separate custom integration for every model provider.
Free Preview
AskAny can provision a one-time OpenRouter allowance funded by AskAny so you can try model-backed workflows without a card.
Pro & Max
Connect your OpenRouter account. OpenRouter handles the model-side billing while AskAny provides the product subscription.
Live catalog
AskAny can surface supported text and media models from the OpenRouter-backed catalog instead of maintaining static provider lists.
USD visibility
Where possible, AskAny estimates cost before generation and records the authoritative cost reported by OpenRouter after completion.
What happens to a model request?
AskAny sends the prompt and selected context to OpenRouter using the model you selected. OpenRouter then routes that request to the selected downstream model provider. The provider that actually performs inference has its own data-handling, retention, and training practices.
View the complete data flow| Layer | Role |
|---|---|
| AskAny | Conversation, context selection, tools, files, safety/review boundaries, model picker, and usage dashboard. |
| OpenRouter | Model routing, OpenRouter account authorization for paid plans, usage/cost reporting, and access to supported provider routes. |
| Selected model provider | Performs the requested inference or generation under the applicable provider route and data practices. |
Billing is deliberately separated.
That separation keeps AskAny pricing understandable and makes model usage visible instead of hiding it inside an internal wallet.
AskAny subscription
Pro or Max pays AskAny for the software product layer.
OpenRouter usage
On Pro and Max, model spend is settled through the OpenRouter account you connect.
Free Preview allowance
The one-time preview allowance is funded by AskAny and is a one-time model allowance, not a recurring wallet.
Model-provider terms still matter
OpenRouter states that it does not use Inputs or Outputs for model training, but downstream model providers can have different retention and training practices. Review the provider information for the model you choose, especially for sensitive or regulated workloads.
