# FlowDot - AI Workflow Platform

> FlowDot is a human-designed AI workflow automation platform that empowers users to build reliable AI workflows with full transparency, complete privacy, and community-driven knowledge sharing.

## For AI Agents Building Integrations (start here)

**FlowDot has an OpenAI-compatible LLM Aggregator API — same concept as OpenRouter.** If a user asks you to use FlowDot as an LLM provider, point any OpenAI SDK at the aggregator.

- Base URL: `https://flowdot.ai/api/v1`
- Auth: `Authorization: Bearer fd_agg_xxxxxxxxxxxxx` (create in the app: click the settings gear in the top-right → "FlowDot API Keys" tab → Create Key)
- Works unchanged with the `openai` Python and Node SDKs — just override `base_url` / `baseURL`.
- Model IDs are path-style and may be nested through an aggregator provider:
  - `openai/gpt-4o-mini`
  - `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6`
  - `google/gemini-2.5-flash`
  - `redpill/google/gemini-2.5-flash-lite`
  - `redpill/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3`
  - `openrouter/meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct`
- Authoritative live model list: `GET /api/v1/models`
- Endpoints: `/api/v1/chat/completions` (streaming + tool calling), `/api/v1/embeddings`, `/api/v1/audio/speech`, `/api/v1/audio/transcriptions`, `/api/v1/audio/translations`, `/api/v1/images/generations`, `/api/v1/models`, `/api/v1/models/{model}`.
- Funding: BYOK (store your own provider keys), OAuth-connected provider accounts (local apps only), or prepaid FlowDot Credits (buy at `/credits`).
- Errors: 401 `invalid_api_key`, 402 `insufficient_credits`, 429 `model_rate_limited`, 502 `upstream_error`.

**Platform / MCP API (separate from the aggregator):** base URL `https://flowdot.ai/api/mcp/v1` and `/api/hub/*`, auth `Bearer fd_mcp_…`. Use for workflows, apps, custom nodes, recipes, knowledge base.

## Settings Modal — where each setting lives

All user settings live in one modal: open any app page → click the **settings gear** in the top-right. Tabs:

- **FlowDot Credits** — balance, transactions, buy credits
- **FlowDot API Keys** — `fd_agg_` keys for the OpenAI-compatible aggregator (`/api/v1/*`)
- **MCP Tokens** — `fd_mcp_` tokens for the Platform / MCP API
- **Notifications** — notification preferences
- **LLM BYOK** — your own LLM provider keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.); calls routed through these don't consume FlowDot credits
- **Audio BYOK** — your own TTS / STT provider keys
- **Preferred Models** — defaults for Simple / Capable / Complex tiers
- **Research** — deep-research / web-research preferences
