Paste a Groq API key (console.groq.com — big free tier, recommended) or a Google AI Studio Gemini key. The provider is detected from the key. It is verified with a live test call, then stored safely on the server only — it never stays in your browser. Never share your key with anyone.
Your caretaker password protects your creature and your API key on the public internet. Set it once; enter it again on any new device. Typing a new one here (with your device unlocked) changes it.
