Bring your own model

Use the AI model setup you control.

Mekazu separates accounting software from model access. That keeps the product honest: Mekazu provides the accounting workflow and AI integration layer, while external model access remains under your own account, API key, and provider choices.

Short answer

Mekazu does not bundle paid AI provider access. Users bring their own model setup, including local models through Ollama or external providers with their own API keys.

Local models

Use smaller local models through Ollama where supported.

External providers

Connect providers such as OpenAI, Claude, or Mistral only with your own provider account and API key.

Provider-neutral workflow

The accounting workflow should stay stable even when model choices change.

Checklist

Model setup principles

  • Keep API keys under your control
  • Know which provider receives data
  • Use local models where privacy or testing requires it
  • Review AI output before accounting action
