AI Providers

Mira 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 — Mira never sees your password
• Works with free ChatGPT accounts
• If you have ChatGPT Plus, Mira 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.

1. Go to console.anthropic.com
2. Create an API key (starts with sk-ant-...)
3. Add it in Mira 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.

1. Go to platform.openai.com
2. Create an API key (starts with sk-...)
3. Add it in Mira Settings → KI

Cost: Whisper: ~$0.006/minute. 10 minutes/day = ~$1.80/month.

Tavily API Key (Web Search)

Enables the AI to search the web during conversations.

1. Sign up at tavily.com (free)
2. Copy your API key (starts with tvly-...)
3. Add it in Mira Settings → KI

Cost: 1,000 searches/month free. Paid plans start at $0.01/search.

Privacy

• API keys are stored locally in ~/.config/mira/settings.json
• Never uploaded to Mira servers — Mira doesn't have servers
• AI processing happens directly between you and the provider (Anthropic, OpenAI)
• Mira 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.
