Adding an AI provider in elvex is how you allow your elvex users to access LLMs that will power the apps you build in elvex. Without an AI provider, users won't have access to any large language models (LLMs), rendering the apps non-functional. Here’s how you can add one or more AI Providers to your account.
*Note: Only elvex Admin users have the authority to add AI providers.
Supported AI Providers
elvex currently supports the following AI providers:
OpenAI
Azure OpenAI
Anthropic
Cohere
Mistral
Additional providers will be supported in the future
Step-by-Step Guide to Adding an AI Provider
Navigate to Settings: Click on "Settings" from the left navigation menu
Select "AI Providers": In Settings, click the "AI Providers" option
Click "Add a Provider": From AI Providers, click the "Add a Provider"
Enter Provider Details: Fill in the required fields
Provider Name: If left blank, this field will default to the name of the Provider (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.). If this is fine, you can move to the next field, or you can add a more descriptive name.
API Key: The API key provided by the AI provider.
For example, you can find instructions on how to create an API key for:
Create a New App: To test the integration, create a new app and send a test message. A simple passthrough app to GPT-4o would suffice. [Click here to learn more about creating apps].
Send a Test Message: Use the newly created app to send a test message to ensure that the AI provider is functioning correctly.
Important Notes on Generating an API Key from an AI Provider
Read & Write Access: elvex will need read and write access to connect with the AI Provider of your choice. If the API key you generate for the AI Provider does not have read and write access, the connection between elvex and that provider will not be successful.
Fund Your Provider Account: The account you generate the AI Provider API key from must be funded and connected with a valid credit card, otherwise the API key will generate an error when trying to use it.
