Choose how your requests are processed
AskAny.ai lets you use hosted models or connect a supported personal provider key. You choose the model, and only the context submitted for that request is sent to the selected route.
Your selected model
AskAny.ai sends the submitted prompt and context only to the provider route used for the model or feature you select.
Managed provider routes
Hosted models use business/API routes and available no-training controls where supported. Provider terms still vary by route and service.
Workspace controls
Users can control which supported models and providers are available to their users.
BYOK uses no AskAny credits
Pro and Max users can connect supported provider keys. Eligible requests are billed by that provider and do not deduct AskAny credits.

Prefer not to use the AskAny credit system?
Connect a supported personal provider key on Pro or Max. Once that key is active for a supported model, the provider bills the request directly and AskAny.ai does not deduct credits. You keep the AskAny desktop workflow while using your own provider budget.
Provider availability and terms can change. AskAny.ai updates supported routes and settings as providers evolve.
