Portals works immediately without any setup — Pollinations is enabled by default and requires no API key. When you’re ready to use a different model or provider, open Settings → AI Configuration and choose from the supported providers below. Your API keys are stored only on your device and are never sent to any Portals server.
API keys are saved locally on your device. Portals does not transmit your keys to any external server.
If you don’t have any API keys yet, start with Pollinations (built-in, free) or OpenRouter Free to access a rotating selection of no-cost models.
