You have to sign up for all the models you want to use, create API keys, add those back to your app and keep track of API usage in separate dashboards. Well Replit just added 300+ AI models directly into their app builder, so that you can build with any AI model you want, without adding a single API key yourself. This changes the game and allows you to add almost any AI model you can think of into your app - just ask Replit to add it, and it will. Under the hood this uses Openrouter - an easy way to add any AI model just through one integration - even free models.
