Quick Start

Get Kairos running in under 5 minutes.

1. Create your account

2. Create an API key

Go to Dashboard → API Keys → Create New Key. Copy your key — it's shown once.

3. Add your LLM provider keys

Go to Settings → Provider Keys and add your OpenAI, Anthropic, or other provider API keys. Kairos encrypts them at rest.

4. Make your first request

Kairos is OpenAI-compatible. Drop it in anywhere you'd use OpenAI:

bash

curl https://api.kairos-ctx.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer kai_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Kairos!"}]
  }'

5. OpenAI SDK drop-in

python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="kai_your_key_here",
    base_url="https://api.kairos-ctx.ai/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What is Kairos?"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

javascript

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'kai_your_key_here',
  baseURL: 'https://api.kairos-ctx.ai/v1',
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'What is Kairos?' }],
});
console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

That's it!

Kairos will route your request to the optimal model, compress context, apply compliance policies, and log everything — all transparently.
