A model where you provide your own LLM API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) instead of the platform providing one, giving you full cost control and model choice.
BYOK means you use your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or any LLM provider. The platform does not mark up your LLM costs or lock you into a specific provider.
With Clawctl, you bring your own API key and pay the LLM provider directly. This gives you full transparency on AI costs, the ability to switch providers anytime, and no vendor markup on the most expensive part of running AI agents.
LLM costs are the largest variable expense when running AI agents. BYOK gives you direct cost control, provider flexibility, and eliminates markup. You also keep your API relationship with the provider — including volume discounts and custom agreements.
Clawctl is BYOK by design. Add your API key in the setup wizard. Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and injected at runtime. Switch providers anytime without redeploying.
Try Clawctl — 60 Second DeployAnthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), Grok, OpenRouter, and Ollama for local models.
No. You pay the provider directly. Clawctl charges only the platform fee ($49-999/mo).
Yes. Configure different models for different agents or use model routing to optimize cost and quality.
Model Routing
Directing different agent tasks to different LLM models based on complexity, cost, or speed requirements.
Encrypted Secrets
API keys and credentials stored with AES-256 encryption at rest, only decrypted and injected into the agent at runtime.
Cost Optimization
Strategies for reducing LLM and infrastructure costs when running AI agents without sacrificing quality or reliability.
Human-in-the-Loop
A design pattern where an AI agent pauses before taking risky actions and waits for a human to approve or reject the action.
