How Tommy remembers things

Tommy has persistent memory. It remembers:

The more you use Tommy, the better it gets. It's not starting from scratch every time — it picks up where you left off.

Using your own API key (BYOK)

By default, Tommy uses your plan's included tokens. If you want unlimited usage, you can add your own API key from any supported provider:

Anthropic (Claude) — recommended

Best quality for most tasks. Get your key at console.anthropic.com

Key format: sk-ant-api03-...

OpenAI (GPT)

Good alternative, especially for coding tasks. Get your key at platform.openai.com

Key format: sk-proj-...

OpenRouter (200+ models)

Access to Claude, GPT, Llama, Mistral, and more — all through one key. Get your key at openrouter.ai

Key format: sk-or-v1-...

To add your key: go to Dashboard → click "Add API Key" → select your provider → paste your key.

💡 Note: When you add your own key, Tommy uses it instead of your plan tokens. You pay the provider directly at their rates. Your plan tokens stop being consumed.
