AI Providers
Mioru supports multiple AI providers. Choose what works for you.
ChatGPT Sign-In (Recommended)
The easiest way to get started. Sign in with your ChatGPT account — no API key needed.
- Uses OAuth — Mioru never sees your password
- Works with free ChatGPT accounts
- If you have ChatGPT Plus, Mioru uses your subscription
Setup: Settings → KI → Sign in with ChatGPT
Claude API Key (Alternative)
Use your own Anthropic API key for Claude-powered AI chat.
- Go to console.anthropic.com
- Create an API key (starts with
sk-ant-...) - Add it in Mioru Settings → KI
Cost: Pay-as-you-go. Claude Haiku: ~$0.001/msg, Claude Sonnet: ~$0.01–0.03/msg. Typical usage: a few dollars per month.
OpenAI API Key (Voice)
Required for voice transcription (Whisper) — used by Voice Input (Ctrl + Shift + M), Voice Mode, and Gedankenspeicher voice capture.
- Go to platform.openai.com

Tavily API Key (Web Search)
Enables the AI to search the web during conversations.

Privacy
- API keys are stored locally in
~/.config/mira/settings.json - Never uploaded to Mioru servers — Mioru doesn't have servers
- AI processing happens directly between you and the provider (Anthropic, OpenAI)
- Mioru never sees your data, your notes, or your AI conversations
More Providers Coming
Gemini, Mistral, Ollama (local), and more are on the roadmap. Mira's provider architecture is designed for easy expansion.
