Start chatting

JanitorAI will now route your conversations through Routeway. Pick a character and begin.

Troubleshooting

The most common causes:
  • You selected a paid model but your Routeway account has no balance. Add funds from the dashboard.
  • The proxy URL is incorrect. It must be exactly https://api.routeway.ai/v1/chat/completions.
  • Your API key has extra spaces — re-paste it carefully.
Try these steps:
  1. Re-enter your API key
  2. Refresh the page
  3. Restart your browser
  4. Try a different browser if the issue persists
Verify the model ID matches exactly. Browse available models at routeway.ai/models or use the models endpoint.
This error is not caused by Routeway. It appears when JanitorAI’s own backend fails internally before your message ever reaches your configured proxy. Your request never makes it to Routeway.
JanitorAI unable to process request error
What you can do:
  1. Wait a few minutes and try again — it usually resolves on its own
  2. Refresh the page or restart the browser
  3. Try a different character or start a new chat
  4. If it persists, JanitorAI may be experiencing downtime
If you see the error message “A network error occurred, you may be rate limited or having connection issues: Failed to fetch”*, the most common cause is an incorrect proxy URL.Verify that your proxy URL is set to: https://api.routeway.ai/v1/chat/completionsMake sure the URL does not include a trailing slash (/).
If responses consistently take more than 90–100 seconds and eventually fail with an error, the most common cause is that Text streaming is disabled in JanitorAI.To enable it:
  1. Open any chat
  2. Click Customize
  3. Find Text streaming
  4. Enable it
After enabling Text streaming, responses should begin appearing as they’re generated instead of waiting for the entire completion, preventing most 90–100 second timeouts.
