Supported Providers

AI providers your agent can use — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and more.

On this page

Your BrainRoad agent runs OpenClaw, which supports multiple AI providers. You can configure one or several providers depending on your needs.

Supported Providers

Anthropic (Claude) — The recommended primary provider. Claude models excel at reasoning, coding, research, and extended conversations. OpenClaw is built and tested against Claude first. If you only add one key, make it this one.

OpenAI (GPT-4) — Full support for GPT-4 and GPT-4o models. A solid secondary provider if you want redundancy or prefer OpenAI for specific tasks.

Google (Gemini) — Support for Gemini models. Useful as a fallback or if you have existing Google Cloud credits.

Multiple Providers and Fallback

You can add keys for more than one provider. When configured with multiple keys, your agent can fall back between providers. If your primary provider returns an error or hits a rate limit, the agent tries the next available provider automatically.

This means fewer interruptions. A temporary outage at Anthropic does not stop your agent if you have an OpenAI key configured as a backup.

Provider Profiles

Keys are stored in your agent’s auth-profiles.json file using the format provider:profile-name. For example, anthropic:default or openai:default. You can configure multiple profiles per provider if you have separate keys for different use cases.

Getting API Keys

Each provider issues keys through their own developer dashboard. You will need an account with the provider and a valid payment method on file. BrainRoad does not resell or broker API access.
