Supported AI Services

Autopilot supports any AI service that implements the OpenAI REST API endpoints. This includes:

• OpenAI - GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, GPT-4-turbo
• Azure OpenAI - Microsoft's hosted OpenAI models
• Anthropic - Claude models (via OpenAI-compatible proxy)
• Google AI - Gemini models (via OpenAI-compatible proxy)
• Groq - Fast inference for Llama, Mixtral, Gemma
• Together AI - Wide selection of open models
• Mistral AI - Mistral and Mixtral models
• Perplexity - Online models with web search
• OpenRouter - Multi-provider gateway
• Ollama - Local open-source models
• LocalAI - Self-hosted open-source models
• LM Studio - Local model runner
• vLLM - High-performance local inference

The available models depend entirely on which service you configure.

Basic Configuration

Add your AI service configuration to /config/config.php:

<?php

return [
    'autopilot' => [
        'openAI' => [
            'apiKey' => 'your-api-key',
            'chatModel' => 'gpt-4o',  // Model name from your provider
        ],
        'tools' => true
    ]
];

Using Environment Variables

For better security, use environment variables:

<?php

return [
    'autopilot' => [
        'openAI' => [
            'apiKey' => $_ENV['AI_API_KEY'],
            'chatModel' => $_ENV['AI_MODEL'] ?? 'gpt-4o-mini',
            'baseUri' => $_ENV['AI_BASE_URI'] ?? null,
        ]
    ]
];

Set in your .env file:

AI_API_KEY=your-api-key
AI_MODEL=gpt-4o
AI_BASE_URI=https://api.openai.com/v1
