Configuration

It's time to give your AI a brain.

The Config File

PicoClaw uses a simple text file to store your settings. It is located at ~/.picoclaw/workspace/config.json.

Don't worry about finding it manually. You can open it with any text editor.

Connecting to an AI Provider

You need an API Key from a provider like OpenAI, DeepSeek, or OpenRouter.

Step 1: Get an API Key

1. Go to DeepSeek or OpenAI.
2. Sign up and find "API Keys".
3. Create a new key and copy it. It usually starts with sk-....

Step 2: Edit config.json

Open your config.json file and make it look like this:

{
  "api_key": "sk-your-key-goes-here",
  "base_url": "https://api.deepseek.com",
  "model": "deepseek-chat",
  "language": "en"
}

• api_key: Paste your key inside the quotes.
• base_url: The address of the AI server. (For DeepSeek use https://api.deepseek.com, for OpenAI use https://api.openai.com/v1).
• model: The name of the model you want to use.

TIP

Save the file and restart PicoClaw for changes to take effect!
