AI Router API key setup

Smart LLM routing platform that automatically selects the optimal model based on quality, cost, and speed requirements.

Get your key

  1. Open the AI Router site: airouter.io
  2. Create an account and generate an API key.
  3. Paste it into the Dracon key manager — stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), used browser-direct, works in every Dracon tool.

Free tier

No recurring free tier advertised as of the last check . Usage is billed per the provider's listed pricing — you pay them directly, no Dracon markup.

Rate limits: Free: 1K req/mo, Starter: 20K req/mo, Pro: 100K req/mo

Gotchas

Browser-direct chat is not available for this provider: Endpoint unverified — v2. The vault still stores its key for tools that run elsewhere (for example a LiteLLM chain from the router builder).
