Shapes Inc Integration

Shapes is a platform for creating AI-powered Discord bots with customizable personalities. It supports bring-your-own-API integration, letting creators power their shapes (bots) with their preferred AI models through OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

By configuring LLM API as your API provider, you can give your Shapes bot access to all LLM API models.

Prerequisites

An LLM API account with an API key
Shapes Inc installed or accessible

Setup

Get Your LLM API Key

Log in to your LLM API dashboard
Click Create Key to Start
Copy your new API key immediately — it will only be shown once
Store the key securely (e.g., in a password manager or .env file)

LLM API is an OpenAI-compatible gateway that gives you access to dozens of AI models through a single API key and endpoint.

Configure LLM API in Shapes Inc

Log in to your Shapes Inc dashboard.
Navigate to your shape's settings and find the "Bring Your Own API" or "API Configuration" section.
Select "OpenAI Compatible" as the provider.
Enter the following details:
- API Key: paste the key you copied from app.llmapi.ai/api-keys
- Base URL: https://api.llmapi.ai/v1
- Model: the model ID you wish to use (e.g., openai/gpt-4o)
Click "Save" to apply the configuration.
Your shape will now use LLM API for generating responses.

Test the Integration

Verify that Shapes Inc can successfully communicate with LLM API by sending a test request. All requests will now be routed through LLM API.

Using LLM API lets you switch between different AI models for your shape without changing the integration setup.
