Configuration

Setting the API Key

For security, your OpenRouter API key should be set as an environment variable:

1. Create an environment variable named OPENROUTER_API_KEY with your API key from OpenRouter
2. Restart Flow Launcher to apply the changes

Settings

The plugin supports the following settings:

• default_model: The AI model to use (default: "deepseek/deepseek-chat:free")
• delimiter: Symbol that indicates when to send a prompt (default: "||")

Usage

Entering a Prompt

1. Type ai followed by your question and the delimiter:

   ai What is quantum computing? ||
   

Receiving Results

2. The plugin will display the AI's response with two options:
   • AI Response: Click to copy the full response to clipboard
   • Open in Notepad: Click to open the response in Notepad for viewing or editing

Viewing the Result in Notepad

3. If you choose to open the response in Notepad:

   

Example Queries

• ai Explain the theory of relativity in simple terms ||
• ai Write a short Python script to calculate Fibonacci numbers ||
• ai What's the capital of France? ||

Troubleshooting

• API Key not set: Make sure the OPENROUTER_API_KEY environment variable is set correctly
