Docs / Connecting models

Connecting models

Highseat does not tie you to one AI. Open Settings, then Models.

Default and per job

Set a default model for the workspace. Then pick a different one for any job, such as Ask Ops, drafts, reports, the interview or playbooks, and for any AI employee. A job or employee with no pick of its own uses the default.

Ways to connect

• Your own API key. Paste a key for a provider. Highseat tests it live and shows Connected only when the test passes. The key is sealed for your workspace and only its last four characters are ever shown.
• Your Claude subscription. Your home base machine can run your own Claude sign-in. Highseat never stores that sign-in.
• OpenRouter. One key, many models.

Providers

Hosted providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, Cohere, Meta, Groq, Together AI, Fireworks AI, Moonshot Kimi, Cerebras. Cloud platforms: Amazon Bedrock and Azure OpenAI. Each provider was checked against its own documentation when it was added.

If a provider fails

When a provider returns an error, Highseat tries once on your fallback and says so in the job steps.
