Quivr Integration

Quivr is an AI-powered knowledge management platform that acts as your second brain. It lets you upload documents, chat with your data, and build AI assistants that can answer questions based on your personal or team knowledge base.

Quivr supports custom LLM backends, allowing you to connect LLM API to power its AI chat and retrieval features.

Prerequisites

An LLM API account with an API key
Quivr 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 Quivr

Open your Quivr instance (self-hosted or cloud).
Navigate to Settings → LLM Configuration.
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.
Start chatting with your knowledge base --- Quivr will use LLM API for all AI responses.

Tip: Using a powerful model through LLM API improves the quality of Quivr's retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) responses.

Test the Integration

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

Benefits of Using LLM API with Quivr

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
