One key, many vendors
OpenRouter routes one key to models from many vendors, so the picker lists more than one provider's bench.
OpenRouter
One key reaching many vendors' models — the lane for agents that should run on whichever model fits.

Missions
What agents get done with it.
Try a model without another account
Switching which model an agent thinks on is a picker choice, not another vendor signup.
OpenRouter's prices, no markup
Each model bills through your OpenRouter balance at OpenRouter's stated price; Ahel adds nothing on top.
The catalog
Every action, honestly listed.
A model provider gives an agent a lane to think on, not actions to call — so there is no action catalogue here. Tool actions come from the other integrations.

FAQ
Questions people actually ask.
Do I need an API key from every vendor?
No — one OpenRouter key reaches models from many vendors, and OpenRouter bills you for the ones you call. Paste that one key into the Ahel desktop app; it stays in your runtime.
What does OpenRouter cost through Ahel?
Each model draws on your OpenRouter balance at OpenRouter's stated per-model price; Ahel adds no markup. Prices differ per model — OpenRouter's own listings are the source.
Can agents use different models per job?
Yes — the picker fills with what your key reaches, and you choose the model per agent. Ahel is invite-only right now, with access opened in batches.
