Configure AI Providers and Models

Where to manage AI settings

Open Settings → Cloud Providers inside the builder app (builder.seamai.pro). This is where you enable or disable AI providers and select models. Provider access is handled by SeamAI, so you do not add or manage AI API keys.

Note for self-hosted users: If you run a self-hosted instance of the builder, you will also see a Local Providers tab for configuring local models (e.g., Ollama) with your own API keys.

Other Settings tabs

The Settings panel also includes:

• MCP Servers: Configure Model Context Protocol servers for enhanced AI tool capabilities
• Supabase: Connect a Supabase project for backend database and authentication features
• GitHub / GitLab: Connect version control accounts for push/pull workflows
• Vercel / Netlify: Connect hosting accounts for one-click deployments

These tabs let you extend the builder with external services.

Model access by plan

Free tier users have access to GPT-4.1 Nano only. This lightweight model is great for learning and simple projects.

Paid plans (Starter and above) unlock the full model catalog:

• OpenAI: GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, GPT-5, GPT-5.2, o1/o3 reasoning series
• Anthropic: Claude Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus (3.x, 4.x, 4.5)
• Google: Gemini Flash and Pro
• Open-source: Llama, Mixtral, Mistral via Groq/Together

Upgrade to access advanced reasoning models for complex architecture decisions, debugging, and multi-step code generation.

Choose models per task

Use smaller, faster models for quick edits and larger models for complex refactors. If you are unsure:

• Start with a balanced model for general changes
• Switch to a faster model for small tweaks
• Use a stronger model for architecture changes

Token usage basics

Tokens measure the size of the prompt and the response. Longer instructions and large file changes use more tokens. You can review usage on your dashboard.

Tips for lower token usage

• Be specific and concise in prompts
• Iterate in small steps
• Ask for summaries before large refactors
