​
Connecting Accounts

You can connect Runchat to any other restful API on the internet by securely linking your API key on the dashboard. Runchat will automatically extend the functionality of some nodes when you add supported services. Adding supported services allows you to use models in the Agent and Create nodes without consuming Runchat credits. These include using Fal to add models to the Create node, and OpenRouter, Gemini and Groq to add models to the Agent node.

​
Connecting OpenRouter for OpenAI, Anthropic and free models

Linking an OpenRouter account allows you to use models in the Agent node without consuming Runchat credits. OpenRouter serves models from most of the major research labs, including experimental and free models with rate limits. To connect OpenRouter, visit https://openrouter.ai and create an account. Then from the Link Account section of the accounts menu, click Authorize OpenRouter. This will open a popup where you will be prompted to sign in to your OpenRouter account and then Authorize Runchat. Enter a max spend cap if you want (if you don’t have any open router credits you don’t need to) then click Authorize the return to the Runchat Dashboard. You can now install models from OpenRouter by pasting a URL to the model api endpoint into the bottom of the models dropdown in the Agent node.

​
Connecting Fal for media

Fal is a fast inference provider for generative AI models. They host models to generate and edit images, video, audio and text. Runchat uses Fal as the default provider for image generation in the Create node. When you connect Fal, Runchat will automatically use your Fal key for any requests to Fal models. To connect Fal, head to fal.ai and create an account. Then visit https://fal.ai/dashboard/keys and click Add Key. Leave the scope as “API”, enter a name to remember the key by (e.g. runchat) and click Create Key. Then copy the generated key. Open the accounts menu in the Runchat editor or Dashboard, and click Link Account. Paste your API key into the Fal section and click Add to encrypt it and add it to your Runchat account. Runchat will automatically detect this key and use your Fal account instead of Runchat credits when generating media with the Create Node. Adding a Fal key also allows you to install custom models from Fal from the bottom of the model selection dropdown.

​
Connecting Gemini

Linking a Gemini account allows you to use the Agent node to generate text and images without consuming Runchat credits. You can get a free API key from https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey and enter this in the Link accounts section of the Account menu to link your account.

​
Connecting Google Sheets

Working with Google Sheets requires authorizing Runchat to access to your Google Sheets account via OAuth. Click Authorize Google Sheets from the Link Accounts page in the account menu to display the OAuth consent screen. Sign into your Google account and then follow the prompts to Authorize Runchat and return to the dashboard. You can now work with the Google Sheets api in the Fetch node using the google_sheets variable to reference your encrypted access token.
