Use AI Code With in Cherry Studio: custom provider setup guide
Use the AI Code With OpenAI-compatible API inside the Cherry Studio desktop client. Add a custom provider, enter your API key and the API address, and you can use DeepSeek, Gemini, GLM, Kimi, and more models directly in Cherry Studio. This page covers the setup steps, common errors, and FAQ.
Download and install Cherry Studio first, then add the AI Code With custom provider in Settings; the API key is only entered in Cherry Studio, never on this page.

Quick setup
Add AI Code With as a custom provider in Cherry Studio settings, and use DeepSeek, Gemini, GLM, Kimi, and more models in the desktop client in about 3 minutes.
Cherry Studio is a desktop AI client that supports custom providers. Add AI Code With once in Settings, and every model is available in the chat view — no plugin and no config file needed.
Download and install Cherry Studio
Download the installer for your platform (Windows, macOS, or Linux) from the official page and install it. Launch Cherry Studio and complete the first-run setup.
Add AI Code With as a custom provider
Open Settings (the gear icon in the left navigation), go to the Model Services tab, and click + Add Provider. In the dialog choose the OpenAI endpoint and complete three fields: ① Provider Name — anything you like, for example AI Code With; ② API Key — paste your AI Code With API key (it stays on your machine only — never share your real key in screenshots or chats); ③ API Address — enter https://api.aicodewith.ai/v1. Click Add to save the provider.
Add a model and verify
On the new provider, click "Get model list" to fetch models automatically, or click + and type a Model ID manually. Toggle the provider on (green dot), start a new conversation, pick the model, and send a test message. A normal reply means the setup works — then open the AI Code With usage records and match the request by time and model name.
Recommended models
After adding the provider, click "Get model list" to fetch models automatically, or click + and type one of these Model IDs (recommended models are selected by default and ready to copy):

How does Cherry Studio connect to AI Code With?
Cherry Studio supports custom providers. Connecting to AI Code With through its OpenAI-compatible endpoint only needs 3 settings:
- Provider Name
- A free-text name to identify the provider in the list (for example, AI Code With).
- API Key
- Paste your AI Code With API key. The key stays in Cherry Studio on your machine and is never sent to any third-party server.
- API Address
- Pick the OpenAI endpoint and enter https://api.aicodewith.ai/v1. Cherry Studio calls the AI Code With OpenAI-compatible API through this address.
Flow: Cherry Studio desktop client → custom provider (OpenAI-compatible endpoint) → AI Code With API. Everything is configured inside Cherry Studio, no files to edit.
Frequently asked questions
What plugin do I need to use AI Code With in Cherry Studio?
None. Cherry Studio is a desktop client — add a custom provider in Settings, choose the OpenAI endpoint, and enter the API Address https://api.aicodewith.ai/v1 plus your AI Code With API key.
What should I enter as the API address?
Enter https://api.aicodewith.ai/v1 (OpenAI-compatible endpoint). In the "Add Custom Provider" dialog choose OpenAI and put that address in the API Address field. Keep the /v1 suffix and do not append extra paths like /v1/models.
What if I can't fetch the model list?
If "Get model list" on the provider returns nothing, click + and type a Model ID manually (for example, deepseek-v4-flash). Save, and the model becomes selectable in the chat view.
Where do I get the API key?
Create an API key in the AI Code With dashboard under Key Management. The key is shown only once, so save it carefully, then paste it in the Cherry Studio provider settings.
How do I confirm the setup works?
Enable the provider toggle, start a new conversation, pick the configured model, and send a message. A normal reply confirms the connection; match the call by time and model in AI Code With usage records.

Common error troubleshooting
The most frequent problems fall into 4 categories.
401 / Invalid API Key
Symptom: The request returns 401, Unauthorized, or Invalid API Key.
Cause: Usually the API key is invalid, mistyped, or copied with extra characters.
- Re-paste the API key in the Cherry Studio provider settings (no extra spaces)
- Confirm the key is a valid AI Code With API key
- Retry sending a message
Model Not Found / Wrong Model ID
Symptom: The request reports Model Not Found or an unknown model.
Cause: The Model ID is mistyped, or the model is currently unavailable.
- Check the Model ID in the provider settings matches the one on this page
- Confirm the key can access that model
- Confirm the model is available on the AI Code With pricing page
API address error
Symptom: The request fails on test or when sending a message, or the model list is empty.
Cause: The API Address has a wrong path, or /v1 is missing.
- Confirm the value is https://api.aicodewith.ai/v1 (with /v1)
- Remove any trailing /v1/models or guessed path
- Save the settings and test again
Empty model list
Symptom: Clicking "Get model list" returns no models.
Cause: The API Address is unreachable, the network is restricted, or the endpoint does not support auto-fetching the model list.
- Confirm the API Address starts with https://api.aicodewith.ai/v1
- Switch network and retry
- Click + and type a Model ID to use the provider manually
