How to use Janitor AI without an API?
By Milan de Reede · CEO & Co-Founder
Quick answer
You can use the platform’s built-in, free native language model called JanitorLLM. Because it is hosted directly by the platform, you do not need to configure complex settings or connect to outside providers like.
The full answer
1. Create an account
Sign up on the Janitor AI website or mobile app with Google, Discord or email.
2. Pick a character
Browse the public character library or create your own, then click Chat.
3. Switch to JanitorLLM
In the chat, open API Settings in the top right and select JanitorLLM from the API Provider dropdown.
Just like that, you're ready to go without configuration.
If, on the other hand, you decide to use an API key (usually for more models or fewer queues), you can set up NanoGPT in a couple of minutes by following our docs.
