Frequently Asked Questions

Is this plugin really free?

Yes. There are no paid plans, and the core plugin will always remain free. We accept donations and use affiliate links to cover costs.

How do I get an AI API key?

You can get a free key from OpenRouter or Google AI Studio, or use your existing OpenAI / Anthropic key. Visit our AI Tools page for affiliate links — signing up through them supports the plugin at no extra cost to you.

Does it work with local LLMs like LM Studio or Ollama?

Absolutely. Select "Custom (OpenAI‑compatible)" as your provider and enter your local URL (e.g., http://localhost:1234/v1).

The plugin falls back to a friendly default message, so visitors never see a broken page.
