Omi BYOK for chat: where is the setting? Free plan says “bring your own API keys

Hi everyone,

I’m using the Omi app on Android and I reached the Free plan chat limit. The app showed this message:

>

The problem is: I can’t find where to add my own API key for the chat/AI model.

I found the Transcription settings, where Omi lets me configure a custom STT provider with a WebSocket endpoint. But that seems to be only for speech-to-text, not for the actual chat/LLM answers.

What I’m looking for is something like:

  • AI Provider
  • LLM Provider
  • Chat Model
  • API Keys
  • OpenAI-compatible provider
  • Custom base URL
  • Model name

For example, I’d like to use a free/high-limit provider such as Groq or Cerebras with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, instead of paying for Omi’s chat plan.

Does anyone know:

  1. Is BYOK for chat/LLM currently available on Android?
  2. Is it only available on desktop, beta, or a specific build?
  3. Where exactly is the setting located?
  4. Does Omi support custom OpenAI-compatible providers like Groq/OpenRouter/Cerebras?
  5. If yes, what fields are required? API key, base URL, model name, etc.?

The wording in the app suggests BYOK is possible, but I can only find the custom STT/transcription section. Any clarification from users or the Omi team would be very helpful.

Thanks!

But what about the battery?

As I sit here, my omi has been on the charger overnight and it only says 88%. Yesterday, after roughly 8 hours of wearing it, it was fussing about the battery being low.

One solution would be to wear it when I'm away from my desk and put it on the charger

Another solution would be to replace the battery somehow.

Ideas?

Does this product suck?

Hey guys I’ve been using the desktop app l for a few weeks and am just confused on actual use cases for this. Any advice on where to actually apply this? I feel like it’s a cool concept but hard to extract value.

Understanding Desktop and bring your own key

Howdy folks,

I had a search but couldn't find a clear answer and thought I'd reach out to see if anyone can clarify.

I was using limitless a while ago for meeting minuting and it was awesome. Just worked. I was sad when they were bought out and not accessible in the UK.

Found Omi a few weeks ago and thought it was a joke from April fools where I was someone wearing a pendant like Back Mirror. Anyways, don't need a pendant for my needs, just be good to have on and capture actions/ meeting notes etc.

I've hit a limit but not sure if this stops the meeting and screen prompts etc. I know I can't reply to it or ask it anything, so looked at using my GPY API key, i added it but nothing seems to have happened.

Can anyone shed any light?

Thanks
