OpenRouter in a visual AI workflow

Run hundreds of models through OpenRouter in NodeTool — one key routed to many providers, called at OpenRouter's price.

Many modelsOne keyFallbackopenrouter.ai

OpenRouter is a unified router: one API and one key that reaches models from dozens of providers, with automatic fallback and a single bill. In NodeTool it's the fastest way to try many models without collecting a key for each.

OpenRouter is bring-your-own-key: set `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` and NodeTool routes chat and agent calls through OpenRouter at their price.

OPENROUTER_API_KEY

Calls go straight to OpenRouter with your key at their list price — NodeTool never proxies or marks up the request.
