Is my xAI API key safe in Pluely?

Yes. Keys are encrypted and stored locally on your device — they never leave your computer except in requests to xAI itself. Pluely's servers never see them.

Does Pluely charge for using xAI?

No. Custom providers are unmetered and fully covered by the free plan — you pay only xAI for your own usage.

Which xAI models can I use?

Any model the endpoint serves — for example grok-4.20, grok-4.3, grok-3-mini. You choose which ones appear in the overlay's picker.

Can I use xAI alongside Pluely's bundled models?

Yes. On Pro plans the picker shows your custom providers next to the 200+ bundled models; on the free plan your own providers and CLIs power everything.

xAI, in an invisible overlay.

Connect your xAI key and run Grok models in Pluely — fast reasoning with unusually fresh knowledge, over every app you use. Grok's personality also makes it the most fun model to have hovering over your screen.

Why xAI?

Grok, straight from the source.

Reasoning at speed

Grok 4-class models pair genuine reasoning ability with fast serving and industry-low hallucination rates — sharp answers that arrive in meeting-time, not homework-time.

Current events actually current

xAI trains and updates aggressively, and Grok is known for fresher world knowledge than most frontier models — useful when the question on your screen is about this week, not last year.

Generous new-user credits

xAI regularly offers free API credits to new console signups — often enough to run Pluely for weeks before spending a dollar.

Connect xAI in three steps

Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint works the same way.

Get your xAI API key

Create a key at console.x.ai. It stays on your device — Pluely encrypts it locally and never sends it anywhere except xAI itself.

Add it as a custom provider

Open Pluely's dashboard → AI Providers → Add Custom Provider. Paste the base URL (https://api.x.ai/v1) and your key, and pick the models you want available.

Pick it and ask

Your xAI models now appear in the overlay's model picker. Select one and every Ask, screenshot, and meeting answer runs on your key — unmetered by Pluely.

Everything Pluely does, on xAI

Connecting a provider doesn't limit the product — every mode routes through it.

Ask xAI about your screen

Capture the full screen, drag-select just the error or the clause that matters, attach PDFs and documents with built-in OCR, or turn on Use image so every message carries a fresh screenshot. xAI answers with the actual context in front of you.

xAI answers your meetings live

Listen mode transcribes your mic and system audio in real time with speaker labels, and xAI drafts the suggested answer before the question finishes — automatically on every question, after each pause, or only when you tap Suggest.

Summaries, transforms, and notes

One tap turns any answer, transcript, or document into a summary, key points with action items, a translation, or a longer draft — and meeting notes build themselves as you go. All of it runs on xAI.
