> Use aicentos in Chatbox — connect through custom OpenAI-compatible settings

Chatbox is a desktop AI client that supports the OpenAI-compatible interface; connect it to this service through the "OpenAI API Compatible" mode.

## Open the settings

Click the **Settings** icon in the left sidebar and go to the **Model** tab.

## Select the AI provider

Choose `OpenAI API Compatible` in the **Model Provider** dropdown.

## Configuration to fill in

Fill in the following fields:

| Field    | Value                                         |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| API Key  | Your `codex_...` or `sk-...` key              |
| API Host | `https://aicentos.com`                        |
| Model    | `gpt-5-codex-mini` or another available model |

**Note:** the Chatbox **API Host** field only takes the service root address — **do not** add the `/v1` suffix. Example: `https://aicentos.com`

## Test

After saving, start a conversation and confirm it returns normally.

## Notes

* Enter the service root path without `/v1` in the API Host field; Chatbox appends the API path automatically
* Available models are determined by the list returned by `GET /v1/models`
