How to add your AI keys to self-hosted Quadratic

Enabling AI

If you want to enable AI in self-hosting you'll need to add your own AI provider API keys to the .env file located in the root directory.

You can find the .env by navigating to the quadratic-selfhost folder and opening the .env file within the root directory. In the AI section you'll find a place for OpenAI and Anthropic keys. The easiest way to find and edit this file is through your terminal. Example: on Mac use nano .env from the root directory, then scroll down until you find the AI environment variables; enter your AI key here.

Once you've edited your .env you can stop and start the Docker containers from the quadratic-selfhost folder using the commands ./stop.sh and ./start.sh
