PowerShell: Same commands, just run in PowerShell terminal:

clawdbot configure
# or
clawdbot onboard --auth-choice openrouter-api-key
clawdbot models set openrouter/<model-name>

OpenRouter: Yes! It's supported. Just get your API key from https://openrouter.ai/keys, then run:

clawdbot onboard --auth-choice openrouter-api-key --openrouter-api-key YOUR_KEY
# or use configure wizard
clawdbot configure
#

Popular OpenRouter models include:

  • openrouter/google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp
  • openrouter/openai/gpt-4o
  • openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-4-5
  • openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-chat

Set it with: clawdbot models set openrouter/<model>

Based on the docs, here's how to change your model provider:

Quick method - run the configure wizard:

clawdbot configure

This is an interactive wizard that walks you through models, channels, skills, and gateway config.

Or set it up via the onboarding command:

clawdbot onboard --auth-choice <provider>

Valid provider options include:

  • openai-api-key
  • anthropic-api-key
  • openrouter-api-key

Am I able to use my anthropic max subscription?

#
  • moonshot-api-key
  • gemini-api-key
  • zai-api-key
  • minimax-api
  • opencode-zen

Then set your default model:

clawdbot models set <provider>/<model>
# Example: clawdbot models set anthropic/claude-opus-4-5

Free options for testing:

  1. Groq (fast, great free tier):

    clawdbot onboard --auth-choice groq-api-key
clawdbot models set groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile

  2. Google Gemini Free:

    clawdbot onboard --auth-choice gemini-api-key
clawdbot models set google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp

  3. OpenRouter Free Models (no API key needed for some):

# 
   clawdbot configure  # select OpenRouter, choose free model
   clawdbot models set openrouter/google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp

My pick for testing: Groq is fastest and easiest to set up.

I switched to openai and Seller of Souls

You have hit your ChatGPT usage limit (go plan).
WTF.

This is likely a billing/usage limit on your OpenAI API key, not Clawdbot. Common issues:

Check your OpenAI account:

ChatGPT Plus ≠ OpenAI API - they're separate billing. To use OpenAI via API, you need to buy API credits.

Better free options for testing:

  1. Groq (truly free, no limits):

    clawdbot onboard --auth-choice groq-api-key
clawdbot models set groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile

  2. OpenRouter Free (some models are free):

# 
   clawdbot onboard --auth-choice openrouter-api-key
   clawdbot models set openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-chat
  1. Google Gemini Free (generous free tier):
    clawdbot onboard --auth-choice gemini-api-key
clawdbot models set google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp

Recommendation: Try Groq - it's fast and genuinely free for testing.
