Khoj Integration

Khoj is an open-source AI personal assistant that connects to your notes, documents, and online content. It provides search, chat, and automation across your personal knowledge base.

Khoj supports custom OpenAI-compatible providers in its configuration.

Prerequisites

An LLM API account with an API key
Khoj 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 Khoj

Open Khoj settings (web interface or config file).
Navigate to "Chat Model" or "LLM Configuration".
Set:
- API Key: paste the key you copied from app.llmapi.ai/api-keys
- API Base URL: https://api.llmapi.ai/v1
- Model: openai/gpt-4o
Save and restart Khoj.

Test the Integration

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

Khoj can index your notes and documents locally while using LLM API for intelligent chat responses.

Benefits of Using LLM API with Khoj

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
