# RisuAI

> Connect RisuAI to Routeway for character-based chat and roleplay.

RisuAI is a web-based character chat platform. You can connect it to Routeway so your conversations run through Routeway's models.

<Note>
  Requires a valid Routeway API key. Get yours from the [dashboard](https://routeway.ai/dashboard/api-keys).
</Note>

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open RisuAI settings">
    From the RisuAI home screen, open the left menu (hamburger icon), then go to **Settings**.

    <Info>
      If RisuAI shows onboarding prompts, skip them — you'll configure the connection in the main settings.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Chat Bot panel">
    In **Settings**, open the **Chat Bot** panel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the API provider">
    Look for the API provider or custom endpoint fields and configure:

    * **API Type**: OpenAI Compatible (or Custom)
    * **API URL / Base URL**: `https://api.routeway.ai/v1`
    * **API Key**: Your Routeway API key
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a model">
    Select a model from [routeway.ai/models](https://routeway.ai/models):

    * Use **Select from List** if RisuAI can fetch available models.
    * Use **Manual Input** if the list doesn't load — just type the model ID directly (e.g. `gpt-4.1`, `claude-sonnet-4.5`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optional: enable streaming">
    Toggle **Response Streaming** on for real-time token output during conversations.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Model list not loading">
    Switch to **Manual Input** and enter the model ID directly. You can find all available IDs at [routeway.ai/models](https://routeway.ai/models).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Auth errors">
    Confirm your Routeway API key is valid and pasted without extra spaces. Try generating a new key from the [dashboard](https://routeway.ai/dashboard/api-keys).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="No response / timeout">
    Ensure the API URL is set to `https://api.routeway.ai/v1` (with HTTPS and `/v1`).
