# DeepRead BYOK — Bring Your Own AI Key
Use your own OpenAI, Google, or OpenRouter API key for all DeepRead document processing. Your key, your billing, zero DeepRead LLM costs.
```
Without BYOK: You → DeepRead API → DeepRead pays OpenRouter → You pay DeepRead
With BYOK: You → DeepRead API → YOUR key pays provider → DeepRead cost = $0
```
**Page quota is skipped entirely for BYOK users.** Process unlimited pages on any plan.
> **What this skill does and what it touches:** This skill helps agents guide users through BYOK setup. The agent opens the DeepRead dashboard (`https://www.deepread.tech/dashboard/byok`) in the user's browser so the user can paste their provider key directly into DeepRead's UI. It does not collect, store, or transmit provider keys itself. The `DEEPREAD_API_KEY` is read from the user's environment — this skill does not modify any system files, shell profiles, or `.env` files.
## What Changes With BYOK
- **LLM costs**: You pay your provider directly instead of DeepRead
- **Page quota**: **Skipped entirely** — no monthly limit when using your own key
- **API calls**: Same endpoints, same headers — zero code changes
- **Processing quality**: Equivalent models from your provider via tier-based swapping
- **Setup**: One-time — add your provider key in the dashboard, then forget about it
## Supported Providers
- **OpenRouter** (`sk-or-...`) — Easiest setup. Same models DeepRead uses, just swaps billing to your account.
- **OpenAI** (`sk-proj-...`
