Step by step

Connect Chatbox to FreeTheAi.

  1. 1

    Open Add Custom Provider

    Click `Settings`, then `Display`, then `AI Provider`, then `Add Custom Provider`.

  2. 2

    Pick OpenAI API Compatible mode

    Do not pick the Responses API option unless you specifically want the Responses route.

  3. 3

    Split host and path

    Chatbox needs Host and Path as separate fields.

    text
    Name: FreeTheAi
    API Mode: OpenAI API Compatible
    API Host: https://api.freetheai.xyz
    API Path: /v1/chat/completions
    API Key: PASTE_YOUR_FREETHEAI_KEY

Heads up

Common gotchas.

  • Putting `/v1` in Host with empty Path does not work. Keep the full Chat Completions path in `API Path`.
  • Use `OpenAI API Compatible`, not `OpenAI Responses API Compatible`, unless you specifically want the Responses spec.
