Droid

Droid is a CLI coding agent by Factory. You can connect it to Routeway by adding a custom model entry in ~/.factory/config.json that points to Routeway’s OpenAI-compatible API.

Requires a valid Routeway API key. Get yours from the dashboard.

Setup

Install Droid CLI

curl -fsSL https://app.factory.ai/cli | sh

Configure Routeway as a custom model

Add (or merge) the following block into ~/.factory/config.json:

{
  "custom_models": [
    {
      "model_display_name": "GPT 4.1 (Routeway)",
      "model": "gpt-4.1",
      "base_url": "https://api.routeway.ai/v1/",
      "api_key": "YOUR_ROUTEWAY_API_KEY",
      "provider": "generic-chat-completion-api"
    }
  ]
}

Keep the trailing slash on base_url — Droid expects it when talking to OpenAI-compatible APIs.

If you already have other custom_models, just append this object to the existing array. You can add multiple Routeway models with different IDs.

Replace the model value with any model from routeway.ai/models.

Start Droid

Open a new terminal and run:

droid

When prompted for a model, pick the display name you configured (e.g. GPT 4.1 (Routeway)) to route requests through Routeway.
