Pickaxe Integration

Pickaxe is a no-code platform for building AI-powered tools and chatbots. It lets you create interactive AI applications by combining prompts, data sources, and models without writing code.

Pickaxe supports custom model providers for powering your AI tools.

Prerequisites

An LLM API account with an API key
Pickaxe 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 Pickaxe

Log in to Pickaxe at pickaxe.co.
Navigate to Settings → Models or API Configuration.
Select "Custom" or "OpenAI Compatible".
Enter:
- API Key: paste the key you copied from app.llmapi.ai/api-keys
- Base URL: https://api.llmapi.ai/v1
Select the model for your tools.
Click "Save".

Test the Integration

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

Pickaxe's no-code builder lets you create and deploy AI tools in minutes, powered by LLM API.

Benefits of Using LLM API with Pickaxe

Multi-Provider Access: Use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more through a single API
Cost Control: Track and limit your AI spending with detailed usage analytics
Unified Billing: One account for all providers instead of managing multiple API keys
Caching: Reduce costs with response caching for repeated requests
