With any supported provider, the assistant, agent, and automations all use your key and your model.

Supporting AI tasks also run on your key instead of Mintlify's. These include page-specific [starter questions](/assistant/configure#add-sample-questions) and the commit messages and pull request details Mintlify writes when you publish from the [editor](/editor/index). For these tasks, Mintlify uses a model from your provider that suits the task instead of the model you selected. If your key can't access that model, Mintlify retries with your selected model.

Each provider supports a fixed set of models. The model menus list only the models available for the provider you select. For Amazon Bedrock, the available models depend on the region you select.

Mintlify sends a hashed identifier for the end user with each request to OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenRouter. If your provider's safety systems flag abusive traffic, the provider can block that one user instead of your whole API key.

The identifier is an HMAC hash of your project and the user's IP address, conversation, or Mintlify account. It does not contain the raw IP address, email, or other personal details. The same user gets the same identifier across requests, so you can match flagged activity in your provider's dashboard.
