Chat clients and office tools
Connect third-party chat clients or office collaboration tools with built-in AI chat features to RouteMarket.
Beyond terminal agent wrappers and IDE extensions, there's another category of tools built purely around chat — standalone desktop/mobile chat clients, or office collaboration software with built-in AI chat capabilities. These tools usually expose a "custom model provider" or "add API provider" entry in their settings.
Common examples of this category include OpenClaw, WorkBuddy, and similar tools — listed here only as community-known examples of this type of tool, not as an officially verified or supported list from RouteMarket. Actual compatibility should be confirmed through testing.
Setup steps
Most tools in this category use configuration fields similar to a chat client:
- Find the "Model Provider," "API Provider," or "Custom Endpoint" section in the tool's settings.
- Choose OpenAI Compatible, Custom OpenAI, or an equivalent option as the type.
- Set the Base URL to
https://api.routemarket.ai/v1. - Set the API Key to your RouteMarket project token.
- Set the model name to one returned by
/v1/models. - Save, then send a test message to confirm you get a response.
Common configuration mistakes
- Missing the
/v1suffix on the Base URL, or the tool appending it a second time automatically. - Using a model name from the tool's preset list that your account doesn't actually have access to.
- Stray whitespace, quotes, or line breaks around the API key.
- Running the tool inside a restricted network (e.g. a corporate proxy) that can't reach the gateway.
Verify
First confirm your API key can call /v1/models, then configure the tool and send a test message. If you hit an authentication error, check whether the key is correct or expired, or see the FAQ.
