# chemsmart agent — LLM provider credentials
# Copy this file to api.env and fill in your key.
# api.env is gitignored and will never be committed.
#
# The chemsmart agent reads two values from api.env (or the process environment):
#
#   AI_PROVIDER   — which provider's gateway to use ("openai" or "anthropic").
#   ai_api_key    — the API key for the selected provider (note: lowercase).
#
# Only the key that matches AI_PROVIDER is needed; the other one can stay
# blank or be omitted entirely. The variable name is `ai_api_key` regardless
# of provider (not OPENAI_API_KEY / ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) — the loader switches
# on AI_PROVIDER, so a single key field is enough.

AI_PROVIDER=openai

# Required: API key for the provider selected above.
