> Use aicentos in WorkBuddy — connect through a custom OpenAI-compatible configuration

WorkBuddy supports configuring custom OpenAI-compatible models. Point the Base URL at aicentos and fill in the API Key, and WorkBuddy runs on the models aicentos offers.

## Prerequisites

Create a dedicated key in the aicentos console (naming it `workbuddy` makes usage easier to track).

## Configuration to fill in

| Field    | Value                                              |
| -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Provider | `OpenAI Compatible`                                |
| API Key  | The key created in the console                     |
| Base URL | `https://aicentos.com/v1`                          |
| Model ID | A model name from the Model Gallery in the console |

## Setup steps

* Open WorkBuddy's model / AI settings.
* Set the Provider to **OpenAI Compatible** (or "Custom").
* Enter the API Key you created in the aicentos console.
* Set the Base URL to: `https://aicentos.com/v1`
* Enter the model ID (see [Supported models](https://docs.aicentos.com/en/billing/models-list)); type it manually if necessary.
* Save the settings.

## Test

After saving, start a new conversation and send a simple prompt to confirm it connects and returns content normally.

## Notes

* Enter the Base URL only up to `/v1`; do not append the full `/chat/completions` path.
* If the current version has no editable Base URL and only accepts official keys, it cannot connect to this gateway directly; switch to a client that supports custom endpoints.
* Verify the visible models with `GET /v1/models` first, then enter the Model ID in WorkBuddy.
* Requests fail when the account balance is insufficient; check the balance on the [wallet page](https://aicentos.com/wallet) first.
