COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you ask
Q.How do I join the PBT?
Public beta registration is open. Sign in to start building; no invite code is required.
Q.Which LLMs do you use?
Bring your own key — we don't provide API keys. Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, DeepSeek, Qwen: pick whichever you trust. Requests are routed through us, so we never see your raw key.
Q.Is it free?
The workbench is free. If you'd like to support it, sponsorships help cover our servers and running costs.
Q.Data privacy?
OAuth-only sign-in. Per-user project isolation — your projects are private to you; we have no access to them and cannot view them. We don't sell, share, or train on your mod content. LLM API keys you bring stay yours.
