Are there any plans to allow for using custom AI APIs? As an example, Clay has this feature of adding our own OpenAI and Anthropic API keys

btw what’s the primary reason for you looking for such a feature?

Primarily cost savings on credits Using custom APIs would cut costs significantly, especially for smaller teams that need to run more intense workflows Additionally, this comes with more control over what models to use

FYI i fully get the arbitrage model, i'm not opposing that at all. Maybe custom OpenAI and Anthropic API key would bring more users + people committing to building larger workflows = yield higher LTV per user and end up at least as profitable, While still offering Lindy credits for non-technical users who doesn't want to deal with a custom API

yeah we also hardly markup the LLM costs but I guess it’s also an perception issue https://lindycommunity.slack.com/archives/C07FDKE1L02/p1742259059496379?thread_ts=1742127519.929739&cid=C07FDKE1L02

I wouldn't mind the 1 (or more) credit/task at all, seems solid But similar to what Mike F. mentioned in that thread, having this flexibility is great and also allow us to track usage in our API consoles and helps us optimize the costs Appreciate the openness to this request

Yeah this is a big one I’d really like to see Lindy get on. It’s a huge perception issue. People expect to bring their own keys. I actually don’t know a competitor in the space that does NOT offer this option other than Lindy. IMO it’s a must-have.
