Models

Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)​

Provide your own OpenAI API key in the OpenAI API Key field to access whichever OpenAI models your key has access to. BrowseWiz lists the models your key can use; it doesn't add or restrict models beyond what your OpenAI account already allows. Click Check to verify the key.

info

The key is encrypted and stored securely in your local storage.

Custom OpenAI API-compatible Model Endpoints​

Add custom models by providing their endpoint URLs. A custom model has:

  1. Model Name: the model name to include in the request payload (e.g., gpt-4o, gemini-2.0-flash). Required.
  2. Endpoint Base URL: a base URL, which will have the chat/completions path appended automatically. Required.
  3. API Key (optional): sent as the bearer token. It is stored encrypted in the extension's local storage.
  4. Headers (optional): extra request headers sent with every chat request to the endpoint, for example a workspace or organization ID.

Click Add Endpoint to save the model. Saved models are listed above the form, where you can Edit or Delete them.

Headers​

Type a header name and value in the empty row, then click Add. A header is added only when both its name and its value are filled in.

  • Turn on the lock (Store securely) before adding a header to store it as a secret: its value is masked and stored encrypted. A header added with the lock off is stored in plain text.
  • Once a header is added, its lock shows how it is stored and can't be changed. To change it, delete the header and add it again.
  • A header named Authorization replaces the bearer token built from the API key.

Header values are sent only to your endpoint, never to the BrowseWiz backend.
