Let your users plug their AI accounts into your app.
Outlet handles the connection. Your app works
directly with their provider.
npm install @useoutlet/sdkConnect with a provider API key, or use Vault with a supported admin key.
Add AI account connection through the SDK. Keep using the provider’s SDK to make AI requests.
Bring an existing AI API account to your app. Keep control of app access with Vault.
The provider runs the AI and bills for usage. Your app calls it directly.
For users bringing their own API key.
Outlet checks the key’s format locally and returns it to your app. Your app calls the provider directly. The key never touches Outlet.
For users connecting an account with an admin key.
Each approved app gets its own key, never the admin key. Anthropic includes a manual workspace-key creation step.
Users review the app’s proposed monthly cap before approving access, and can revoke access any time.
Vault currently supports OpenAI and Anthropic. Caps use provider spend reports, so reporting delays can allow spending above the cap.

Install the SDK, or give your AI the setup prompt.
npm install @useoutlet/sdkAdd the Connect your AI button, connect the user’s account, then use the returned key with your provider’s SDK.
Read the quickstartGive it the Outlet setup prompt. It reads the docs and adds the connection flow to your app.
The prompt starts with Direct. If you have a Vault invite, it tells your AI to use your app ID and registered return address.
The provider serves the AI.
Outlet handles app access.
Your app calls the provider directly. Prompts and answers never pass through Outlet.
Outlet does not resell AI usage. Users pay their provider for the AI they use.
In Vault, each app receives its own App key. The account’s admin key stays encrypted in Vault.
Outlet is free for end users. Direct is free for developers too.
Direct is ready to use.
Vault is open by invite.
A few things worth knowing.
Direct: any provider your app already calls, with the user’s own API key. Vault: OpenAI and Anthropic today, through an admin key, one App key per app. The logos are the ecosystem, not a list of what is wired.
The user’s provider account. Models, billing and credits stay with the provider. Outlet resells nothing.
No. Direct checks the key’s format on the device and refuses admin keys. It never calls the provider. Caps belong to the Vault.
Not yet. Subscriptions aren’t keys yet. Their door, not ours. Outlet connects API accounts today. Those have their own balance, separate from a plan.
It is the one key that can make other keys. Outlet uses it to make one capped App key per app and to read spend. Apps never see it. Never paste it into any app.
Outlet creates a workspace for the app. You create an API key in that workspace and paste it into Outlet to finish connecting. Outlet checks that the key belongs to the right workspace.
No. Outlet reads the provider’s spend reports and revokes the App key at the cap. Reports can arrive late, and an app can spend past its cap before the cut.
No. Direct needs no invite and no account. Install the SDK, and your users paste their own API keys.
Let users securely connect the AI accounts they already have.
