By default, Azzani U Writer uses our included Built-in AI to generate posts — no extra setup, no extra cost. If you want stronger models (Claude, GPT-4, Llama, etc.), you can plug in your own OpenRouter API key.
Why use OpenRouter?
- Stronger writing quality from frontier models.
- Choice of providers — one key, dozens of models.
- Your own billing controls — pay OpenRouter directly, set spend limits.
How to enable
- Sign up at openrouter.ai and add a small balance ($5 is plenty to start).
- Generate an API key in your OpenRouter dashboard.
- Paste it into Settings → OpenRouter in Azzani.
Your key is encrypted at rest before being stored. Once configured, Azzani will route AI generation through OpenRouter automatically.
Cost expectation
Most users spend $0.50–$5/month on OpenRouter depending on the model chosen and post volume. You can switch back to the built-in AI any time by clearing the key.
