# Chatbox

> Connect Chatbox to ViVi-API.

Have an API key from the [ViVi-API dashboard](https://api.viviai.cc/dashboard) ready, and confirm that its group supports your chosen model. Back up any existing configuration before merging the fields below.

Chatbox also runs in a browser. Open the web version from the [Chatbox website](https://chatboxai.app/).

**1. Open settings and select a provider**

Find the model provider setting and choose a provider type that supports a custom URL, such as an OpenAI-compatible provider.

**2. Enter the API settings**

Enter your ViVi-API key, API URL, and model ID. For OpenAI-compatible connections, the base URL is usually `https://api.viviai.cc/v1`. If the app appends `/v1` automatically, enter only the hostname.

**3. Choose your language and test**

Select your preferred interface language; Chinese is also available. Save the settings, start a new chat, select the model, and send a test message.

See the [Integration overview](https://docs.viviai.cc/en/scenarios.md) and [FAQ](https://docs.viviai.cc/en/faq.md) for more help.
