Let your users plug their AI accounts into your app.
Outlet handles the connection. Your app works
directly with their provider.
npm install @useoutlet/sdkUse a Direct API key in your app. Use a Vault admin key on Outlet.
Add AI account connection through the SDK. Keep using the provider’s SDK to make AI requests.
Bring an existing AI API account to your app. Keep control of app access with Vault.
The provider runs the AI and bills for usage. Your app calls it directly.
One button. The user picks Direct or Vault.
For users bringing their own Direct API key.
Outlet checks the Direct API key’s format on the device and passes it to your app. Your app calls the provider directly. The Direct API key never reaches Outlet.
Direct is free forever for users and developers.
Add Direct to your appFor users connecting an account with a Vault admin key.
Each approved app gets its own Vault App key. Apps never receive the Vault admin key. On Anthropic, the user creates the Vault App key in the workspace named on Outlet.
Users choose a Vault cap before approving access. They can revoke the app’s Vault access on Outlet.
Vault is free for users.
Register your appVault supports OpenAI, Anthropic, fal and OpenRouter. Vault caps use provider spend reports. Reporting delays can allow spending above the Vault cap.

QwenSupport varies by app and connection method. Check provider support
Install the SDK, or give your AI the setup prompt.
npm install @useoutlet/sdkAdd the Connect your AI button. Use the returned Direct API key or Vault App key with your provider’s SDK.
Read the quickstartGive it the Outlet setup prompt. It reads the docs and adds the connection flow to your app.
The prompt starts with Direct. Register your app to add Vault.
The provider serves the AI.
Outlet handles app access.
Your app calls the provider directly. Prompts and answers never pass through Outlet.
Outlet does not resell AI usage. Users pay their provider for the AI they use.
Each app receives its own Vault App key. The Vault admin key stays encrypted in Outlet.
Outlet never bills the end user, on Direct or on Vault.
A few things worth knowing.
Your app chooses which providers it supports. Check provider support for Direct and Vault availability.
The user’s provider account. Models, billing and credits stay with the provider. Outlet resells nothing.
No. Direct checks the Direct API key’s format on the device and refuses Vault admin keys. It never calls the provider. Caps belong to Vault.
Not yet. Subscriptions aren’t keys yet. Their door, not ours. OpenAI has opened its door to some apps. Outlet connects API accounts today. Those have their own balance, separate from a plan.
A Vault admin key lets Outlet manage app access in the user’s account. Outlet uses it to set up Vault connections, read spending and revoke Vault App keys. Apps never receive the Vault admin key.
Outlet creates a workspace for the app’s Vault connection. Create an API key in the workspace named on Outlet and paste it into Outlet as the Vault App key. Outlet checks that it belongs to the workspace.
No. Outlet reads the provider’s spend reports and revokes the Vault App key at the Vault cap. Reports can arrive late, and an app can spend past its Vault cap before access stops. Revoking Vault access may not stop work the provider has accepted.
No. Direct needs no Outlet account. Your users paste their own Direct API keys into your app.
Let users securely connect the AI accounts they already have.
