​
Configure AI providers

Use Settings > AI to choose which model providers Aside can use.

​
Provider types

Aside supports three provider types.

Aside

Use models included with your Aside plan.

Subscription

Reuse a supported AI subscription you already pay for.

API

Bring your own provider API key.
Connected providers appear under Settings > AI > Providers. Aside labels built-in plan models with your current Aside plan, subscription providers as Subscription, and API-key providers as API.

​
Use Aside plan models

The Aside provider uses the models included with your Aside plan. Sign in to an Aside cloud account to use built-in Aside models. Free users can use the free Aside model set. Pro and Max plans include more Aside model access, including priority models where the current plan allows them.

​
Connect an existing AI subscription

Open Settings > AI > Providers, choose Connect, then pick a provider under Subscription. Current subscription providers include:
  • ChatGPT Subscription: reuse your ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription.
  • Claude Subscription: reuse your Claude Pro or Max subscription.
  • GitHub Copilot: reuse your GitHub Copilot subscription.
Aside opens an OAuth sign-in flow for these providers. Finish the sign-in in the popup, then return to Aside. Aside can show usage indicators for supported subscription providers.

​
Bring your own API key

Open Settings > AI > Providers, choose Connect, then pick a provider under API. Current API-key providers include:
  • Anthropic
  • OpenAI
  • OpenRouter
  • Google
  • xAI
  • Vercel AI Gateway
  • Cloudflare AI Gateway
API-key providers are useful when you want Aside to route model calls through your own provider account. After you connect a key, you can edit it or disconnect the provider from the provider action menu.

​
Choose models

Open Settings > AI > Models to review available model categories. Open Settings > AI > Chat settings to choose the default model and follow-up behavior. See Use follow-ups for task behavior while a run is active.
