Wire BYOK for Creytix Dev

Connect your own model keys to the hosted dev agent.

AI

Preview — early access.

Overview

Creytix Dev is a hosted coding agent that runs from the same Control Panel as the rest of your workspace. Instead of a bundled, metered model subscription, you bring your own provider keys — BYOK — so the agent runs on models you already pay for directly.

How it works

A BYOK session has three parts:

  1. You add a provider key to your workspace's BYOK vault.
  2. When you start a Dev session, you pick a model tier — fast, balanced, strong, or premium — and the agent routes to your key for that tier.
  3. The agent runs with workspace context attached automatically — which repo you're in, which rules apply, how many context files are loaded — so you're not re-explaining your project every session.

Steps

  1. •

    Open Dev in the Control Panel

    From the Creytix Control Panel, open the Dev section for your workspace.

  2. •

    Add your provider key to the vault

    Add your own API key for the model provider you want to use. Creytix stores it in your workspace's BYOK vault — it isn't shared across other customers' workspaces.

  3. •

    Choose a model tier

    Pick a tier for your session — fast for quick edits, stronger tiers for harder problems — based on the key(s) you've connected.

  4. •

    Start a session with context attached

    Open a chat session. The workspace root, active repo, and applicable rules are injected automatically as context chips.

  5. •

    Review and ship from the same panel

    Work through the agent's changes in the same Control Panel you'll use to gate and ship the result.

Capabilities

  • Bring your own keys — Creytix doesn't resell tokens; you connect the provider account you already have.
  • Tiered model selection — choose fast/balanced/strong/premium per session depending on the task.
  • Workspace context injected automatically — active repo, root, and rule count are attached without manual setup.
  • Runs alongside the rest of the workspace — no separate login or disconnected tool.

Limits & honest scope

Creytix Dev is in preview — early access, not a general-availability product yet.

  • Not every model provider is wired in yet; check which ones are supported before planning your workflow around a specific one.
  • This isn't a full IDE or Cursor replacement — it's a hosted agent bridge, not a local editor.
  • Key rotation and team-level key sharing are still maturing; today a BYOK key is tied to your workspace, not fine-grained per-seat scoping.
  • There's no offline or fully air-gapped mode — sessions run through the hosted Control Panel.
