Use Askimo with any OpenAI-compatible API provider — OpenRouter, TogetherAI, Fireworks, Mistral API, DeepInfra, and more. One base URL field and your API key is all it takes.
Askimo transforms OpenAI-Compatible API from a simple chat interface into a full AI studio — with RAG, code block execution, MCP tool integrations, and multi-provider switching.
Any provider that exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint works instantly. Access models from OpenRouter, TogetherAI, Fireworks, Mistral API, DeepInfra, and others without extra configuration.
Just enter the base URL and your API key in Settings. Askimo handles the rest — no custom integration required, no extra code.
RAG indexing, MCP tools, AI Plans, code block execution, and conversation history all work with any OpenAI-compatible provider — not just the official OpenAI API.
Run OpenRouter for model variety, TogetherAI for open-source speed, and Ollama for full privacy — all in the same Askimo interface, switching per conversation.
Connect once. Every conversation is stored locally on your machine, searchable, exportable, and available offline. You own your history.
Add your OpenAI-Compatible API credentials in Settings. Askimo connects through the official API. No middleman, no data stored on Askimo servers.
Chat is just the start. Index your docs with RAG, connect tools via MCP, run local agents with Skills, and automate workflows with AI Plans. (RAG, MCP, Skills, AI Plans)
OpenAI-Compatible API is one of many. Switch to Ollama for private tasks, Claude for long documents, or Gemini for speed. All in the same interface, no extra setup.
Index your docs, code, and notes. AI answers grounded in your own knowledge base, not the open internet.
AI agents that read files, run commands, call APIs, and execute git operations. Not just chat.
Run AI agents directly on your local files and project directories via Gemini CLI, Claude Code or Codex CLI.
Chain multiple AI prompts into automated workflows. Each step builds on the last: research, analyse, write, all in one run.
A fair, side-by-side look at what Askimo AI Studio adds on top of the standard OpenAI-Compatible API access — acknowledging what each does well.

Common questions about using OpenAI-Compatible API with Askimo App.
Any provider that implements the OpenAI chat completions API format works with Askimo. This includes OpenRouter, TogetherAI, Fireworks AI, Mistral AI API, DeepInfra, Perplexity API, Anyscale, vLLM, and any custom inference server you host yourself.
In Askimo Settings, select OpenAI as the provider type, then replace the base URL with your provider's endpoint (e.g., https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 for OpenRouter). Enter your API key for that provider and save. Askimo will send all requests to your specified endpoint using the standard OpenAI format.
Yes. RAG indexing and retrieval in Askimo is provider-agnostic — it works with any configured provider including OpenAI-compatible endpoints. You index your documents once and Askimo injects the retrieved context into prompts sent to whichever provider you have active.
Yes. You can configure multiple provider entries in Askimo Settings, each pointing to a different base URL. Switch between them per conversation, or keep them as separate named configurations for different use cases.
OpenRouter aggregates hundreds of models — including open-source models like Llama, Mistral, and DeepSeek alongside proprietary ones like GPT and Claude — behind a single API key. It gives you model variety and often competitive pricing. Askimo connects to OpenRouter the same way it connects to the official OpenAI API, so you get the full AI studio experience on top of it.
Askimo App isn't limited to OpenAI-Compatible API. Connect multiple providers and switch based on your needs.
