Bring your own keys — no markup, ever

One chat.
Every model.

Switchboard is the unified interface for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more. Add your own API keys, switch models mid-conversation, and pay each provider directly — we never mark up a token.

Free to use · You only pay your model providers, directly

Why does this useEffect fire twice

Why does this useEffect fire twice in dev?

GPT-5.1

That's React 19 Strict Mode — it intentionally double-invokes effects in development to surface missing cleanup functions. Won't happen in production.

Can Claude double check that for me?

Claude Sonnet 5

Confirmed — same behavior. Worth adding a cleanup function too if your effect touches a subscription or timer.

Features

One place to talk to every model.

No new subscription, no vendor lock-in — just your existing provider keys, unified into one interface.

Bring your own keys

Add your OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API key once. It's encrypted at rest and only ever decrypted server-side, for the moment a request is made.

Every model, one thread

Start a conversation with one model, switch to another mid-thread. No juggling five different tabs and five different logins.

No markup, ever

You pay each provider directly, at their price. Switchboard doesn't sit in the middle of your bill — we're not a reseller.

Your key, your data

We never see your key in plaintext outside the request that uses it, and your conversations are only ever visible to you.

Real streaming

Responses stream in token by token, the same way they would in each provider's own app — no waiting for a buffered reply.

Full history, kept

Every conversation is saved and searchable, so you can pick a thread back up days later without losing context.

How it works

From API key to first chat in under a minute.

No new account with each provider, no separate billing to track — just the keys you already have.

01

Add your API keys

Paste in the keys you already have for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. Each one is encrypted before it touches the database.

02

Pick a model

Choose which model to talk to for this conversation — and switch to a different one any time, without starting over.

03

Chat

Messages stream straight from the provider to you. Every thread is saved automatically, so you can come back to it later.

Highlights

Built around your keys, not ours.

Everything about Switchboard starts from the same idea: it's your key, your provider relationship, your data.

Live

Change your mind without losing the thread

Change your mind without losing the thread

Start with one model, switch to another for the next message — the whole conversation stays in one place.

Use cases

Built for however you actually use AI.

Model comparison

Ask once, compare across models.

Send the same question to more than one model without three separate windows and three separate logins.

Claude Sonnet 5Same root cause, worth also checking...
Coding

Debug with whichever model reasons best.

Stuck on a bug? Switch to a different model mid-thread instead of copy-pasting your whole conversation somewhere else.

Writing

Draft with one model, polish with another.

Different models have different voices. Use the one you like for a first draft, then bring in another for editing.

Research

Ask once, sanity-check with a second opinion.

Get an answer, then ask a different model the same question — right in the same place, no extra tabs.

Brainstorming

Keep the ideas flowing.

No rate-limit walls mid-session — you're calling the provider with your own key, on your own plan.

Learning

Have a concept explained three different ways.

Some models are better teachers for some topics. Try a few, keep the explanation that actually clicks.
