Careti Provider

Careti Provider is an integrated authentication system that lets you use an AI coding assistant immediately without an API key. It is available now.

What is it?​

The first barrier many developers face when using Careti for the first time is API key setup. The process of obtaining API keys from AI providers like OpenAI or Anthropic, registering payment information, and managing usage can be cumbersome.

Careti Provider removes this initial entry barrier. With just a Careti account, you can immediately use the AI assistant without separate API key configuration.

Google Gemini Priority Support​

The first supported model for Careti Provider is Google Gemini. Gemini offers powerful coding capabilities while being relatively affordable, making it suitable for beginners and individual developers.

Free Credits​

All users who use Careti Provider for the first time receive free credits. This lets you test Careti's features without real cost burden.

Image Generation Tool (Careti Account)​

When you sign in with a Careti account, you can use the image generation tool. It is authenticated with the Careti token, and outputs are automatically saved in your workspace.

How it works​

  1. Ask Careti to generate an image (e.g., "Create an illustration for a dashboard").
  2. Careti calls the image generation API and produces the result.
  3. Output files are saved under .agents/generated-assets/ in your workspace.

Storage rules​

Each request creates two files using the request ID:

  • .agents/generated-assets/<request_id>.<ext>: the image file
  • .agents/generated-assets/<request_id>.md: metadata (prompt and image link)

Reference images​

Besides text prompts, you can attach images when requesting generation. You can specify a particular image as a reference to keep consistent style, composition, or character identity while iterating or editing images.
If you do not specify a reference image, the tool can automatically use the selected image scope or other default input behavior.

Practical tips​

  • Decide as a team whether generated images and metadata should be committed to the repo.
  • Prompts are stored in the .md file, so avoid sensitive information.
  • You can instruct Careti to move generated assets into specific project folders for organized management.
  • This enables document-driven prompt management and resource editing, letting you manage worldbuilding or character guides alongside prompts to produce content or service assets.

Future Plans​

After Gemini support, we plan to add other AI models sequentially so they can be used through Careti Provider.

Updates​

We will share new features and changes through the following channels:

Relationship with Existing API Keys​

Even after Careti Provider is released, the existing direct API key input method will continue to be supported. You can have the following options:

Using Careti Provider: Easy start, integrated management, free credit utilization (Gemini first, with ChatGPT, Claude, and local providers like Naver/Upstage added sequentially)

Using Direct API Keys: Leverage existing accounts, more model choices, direct cost management

It's also possible to use both methods together.

Careti Provider is now available. It is the easiest way to start immediately without an API key.
