API keys

Urbanaut is bring-your-own-key. You pay Google, OpenAI or Anthropic (or run a local model). UrbanEyes never stores the key: it stays in Windows Credential Manager on this PC.

In the app

  1. Open Settings from the ··· menu, or type /model.
  2. Pick a provider. Gemini, OpenAI and Claude need a key. Ollama and LM Studio do not.
  3. Paste the key. Pick a text model (not an -image id). Save connection.

First-session picks: gemini-3.8-flash or claude-sonnet-5 at Medium. Why, and cost: First session.

Gemini (Google AI Studio)

  1. Open Google AI Studio API keys and sign in with Google.
  2. Create API key. Copy it once.
  3. In Urbanaut, provider Gemini, endpoint https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta, paste the key.

OpenAI

  1. Open platform.openai.com/api-keys.
  2. Create a secret key. Copy it. OpenAI shows it only once.
  3. In Urbanaut, provider OpenAI, paste the key. Default endpoint is https://api.openai.com/v1.

Claude (Anthropic)

  1. Open Anthropic console keys.
  2. Create a key and copy it.
  3. In Urbanaut, provider Claude, endpoint https://api.anthropic.com/v1, paste the key.

Local (Ollama / LM Studio)

No cloud key. Install Ollama or LM Studio, load a local model, leave the app running. Urbanaut defaults to http://localhost:11434/v1 (Ollama) or http://localhost:1234/v1 (LM Studio). Fine for layer edits; weaker as a first massing agent.

If it fails

  • Load available models. A list means the key and endpoint work.
  • Skip any id that contains -image for chat/massing.
  • Do not paste the key into chat, email, or a screenshot.
