OpenChamber

Providers, Models & Agents

Before OpenChamber can do anything, it needs at least one AI provider connected. This page covers connecting a provider, choosing a model, and tailoring agents.

Connect a provider

  1. Open Settings → Providers.
  2. Open the Add provider menu and pick a provider that isn’t connected yet.
  3. Sign in one of two ways, depending on the provider:
    • API key — paste your key and save.
    • Sign-in (device flow) — OpenChamber shows a link and a short code. Open the link, enter the code, and approve. OpenChamber finishes connecting on its own.

When a provider shows as connected, its models become available in chat.

To disconnect, open the provider and choose to remove its sign-in.

Pick a model

You pick the model where you’re working:

  • in chat, use the model picker in the message bar to set the provider and model for that session
  • per agent, set a default model (below)

Set up agents

An agent is a named setup — a model, a personality, and what it’s allowed to do.

  1. Open Settings → Agents.
  2. Pick an agent, or create a new one.
  3. Edit any of:
    • description — what the agent is for
    • model — its default model
    • temperature — how creative its answers are
    • prompt — standing instructions it always follows
    • tool rules — which tools it may use

Where your sign-ins live

Provider sign-ins are stored by OpenCode, not OpenChamber, so they’re shared with the OpenCode CLI. If you set the same provider in more than one place, the most specific setting wins: a per-project setting overrides your personal one.
