OpenAI-Compatible Custom Providers
Connect a provider or self-hosted service that exposes an OpenAI-compatible API.
Configure an endpoint
In Options → API Providers, add an OpenAI-compatible provider, enter the Base URL, API key, and a model identifier, then enable it and use Test Connection. The endpoint must be reachable from the browser extension and implement the API operations used by the selected Read Frog feature.
Use custom headers only when your service requires them, and keep secrets out of exported configurations. A custom model can translate text without supporting every AI feature. Custom AI Actions, Notebase structured results, and some context-aware workflows need reliable structured output; test those workflows separately from a simple translation.
Troubleshooting
For authentication or network failures, verify the Base URL, API key, CORS/proxy policy, and provider account limits. For malformed structured output, choose a model with stronger JSON or structured-output support and disable reasoning output if available. Model availability and provider names change frequently, so use your provider's dashboard and the extension UI as the source of truth.
